My journey

[CourtneyFallen 1]

I was supposed to get the RNY done on September 29th 2014 everyth I ng was fine until I woke up from surgery. When I woke up from surgery I was informed they could not do the Rny because they found out I have a rare liver disease called sarcoidosis there is no cure for it either. But if I was to have the Rny I could not do the treatment so they called in a specialist while I was still under and the surgen and the specialist decided to give me the sleeve so I can still have treatment. I am now almost a month post op and feeling great so far except I can't stomach the Protein shakes.

I can't stomach the shakes either. If you have a nutrition store near you Omega Protein sticks are good. 1.6 ounces and 20 grams of protein with 180 calories. Super tender just don't let dry out. Also at Walmart they have New Whey Protein Shots. I believe 42 grams of Proteins in a 3.4 ounce shot. Kinda of a thick Syrup taste isn't bad I've tried all and I suggest fruit punch or blueberry. I like to do half of each flavor per day so I have variety. Congrats on a successful procedure and good luck on your journey.

glad things are going well (even though like many others, you hate the Protein shakes)

good that the docs found out during surgery that RNy wasn't a good WLS for you

but...........i'm surprised docs went ahead with they sleeve without discussing it with you first

everything turned out great, so thats what matters

sounds like smooth sailing

good luck

Thank you ladies for sending me luck. The surgon and the specialist opted for the sleeve with out my consent because they didn't want to wake me up then knock me back out so they made a medical call since I was only supposed to be under for 2 to 2 and a half hours I was already under 6 hours. So they made the call so I would not have had the surgery for nothing.
