gastric bypass revision and diet



Recommended Posts

Hi I am new on here and I am not really sure where this question should go. I am in the process of having a revision to my gastric bypass (it was done in 2004). I was doing really well with it until my car accident in 2006. Then inability to move and a few other issues made me gain some weight back. Well I am having a hard time getting all my Protein in and I was also wondering about other people's success with the revisions. What are the best Protein Shakes for the price out there? Are there any suggestions anyone can give me this time around? Besides don't get into another car accident lol.

You can check if you are covered for FREE Protein Shakes, scar cream and/or Vitamins by filling out the form at InsureNutrition.com...

I get it delivered each month, it's great!

You don't have to wait...they send the info to your doctor...so it can be approved before the surgery for your pre-op diet as well...or so that you have it after the surgery, when you need it most...as it will take a few weeks to get everything processed...just FYI...

Do they send it to your primary doctor or your surgeon?

I believe the form asks for your Bariatric surgeon... I'm almost positive (almost) that it goes to the surgeon.

If you don't like the flavor, you can change it, or "spice it up" with some Toscani sugar free syrups...I love the raspberry in the chocolate... just FYI :) LOL

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      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.
