Hi guys,

So, I am new to the board and have a million questions as my surgery is (tentatively) a month away.

1) I am a 6'2" 381 lb 33 y/o man. I don't particularly want to get below 250 pounds. I know this is a ways off but once I get to that weight, is it possible to maintain that weight fairly easily? Any feedback in this area would be great.

2) I possibly have to travel for work approximately 28 days after surgery for 5 days. Anything I should expect traveling around the one month post op mark? Anyone feel that they wouldn't have been able to do that?

Thanks in advance,

Ryan

Hi Ryan, I'm on D25 post-surgery and could easily travel, be it by car or plane. But I didn't have any complications, so my recovery was fairly quick. I can eat almost anything (my surgeon basically said I could skip the puree phase), so it's pretty easy to find things to eat. As long as you take your Protein Powder with you and have a shake in the morning or evening, nutrition-wise you should be ok:)

Thank you Ms Yoyo. That makes me feel better to hear. Congrats on Day 25!

Ryan, why do you want to stop at 250? Just curious.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
