I keep telling my kids this summer we are doing so many outside activities!! I want to walk on the bike path.. And work in the garden.. I hope as each pound leaves the more strength I get! My youngest keeps talking about her trampoline so hopefully in the fall I will get to jump on it with her!! Wow that will be fun..

I had my Gastric Bypass surgery on January 15, 2014, and I had a lot of bumps to deal with, first, because I had a Lapband in April 15, 2013, and then had it removed in December 2013, due to complications, so then jumped to Gastric Bypass because of Lapband I had scare tissue which made any kind of liquid drinking very difficult so then I was back in the hospital for another surgery to remove scare tissue. There several trips that landed me in the hospital and I had to stay there for five to six days for dehydration and not eating as well, but now knock on wood I am doing a lot better just that no matter how I mix the Protein Drink with or milk I can't get it down it just makes me sick to my stomach any suggestions on how I can drink 60 grams of Protein a day, thanks in advance:)

If you cant keep Protein Shakes down, is it possible you're drinking too fast? I drink a 1oz shot glass every 15 minutes or so and even that feels too fast sometimes. Also make sure your shake is fewer than 6 grams of sugar per serving. Other ways you can drink your Protein is to blend dannon light n fit GREEK yogurt with Water. Or, GNC makes a fruity Protein Drink called Isopure. I'm in no way an expert but when I read you cant keep anything down, I felt sad for you. I really hope you can find a solution.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
