I had the worst goosebumps after one swig!! Ick!

I am pre-op and have not 100% decided which surgery I will ask for. I am really just hoping for any tips as I get into this process even further.

oh okay, well I had the Sleeve. I think it was the best choice for me. I didn't want any rerouting of my insides. I also didn't want to be on several Vitamins the rest of my life. I take some now but I believe you take more with the bypass. It's really up to you and what you feel is right for you. Although a lot of people say they don't get dumping syndrome with the Sleeve I can tell you that sweets give me a horrible headache and make me feel bad and I'm almost a year out. Which ever you decide on, one tip would be to not bulk up on Protein and other items before surgery. Your taste for them will change after and you don't want to be stuck with stuff you don't like anymore.

Oh also this site is great for resources and support. Lots of supportive people on here but you will find those who will be a pain in the butt with their comments. Just ignore them like we all do!

I am back and forth with the sleeve and bypass... I may just ask the surgeon what he thinks is best considering I am almost 25. I honestly hope that with whichever surgery I get... I do have the dumping syndrome.. I'm come from a long line of hard headedness haha. As for the Protein I have definitely heard that, and for now I'm just buying single packets.

Oh I know about being a hard head, I was glad that when I tried sweet stuff I got the headache. It stopped me from having more. lol

      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.
