Not understanding how I gained 4 pounds , do all I'm pose except the Protein Shakes until I find one that agrees with me. My primary care said the G2 Gatorades might have done it because they have 7 grms of sugar but that's what my surgeon suggested that I drink with my Water as well. Who has RNY and gain is what I'm saying being 5weeks out from surgery

It could be not enough Protein, too much sugar or carbs or even not enough Water.

Just keep working at getting that Protein in.

I drank g2 for the first few weeks as it was all I could tolerate. Now I'm back to plain Water, full leaf tea, or Vitamin water zero.

I gained 2 pounds with my period. I think a lot of us do.

Right and mines just came on today

Hi Tyani, I use the brand Milk shake BAR for my Protein Shakes. They have several flavors, are not gritty, no aftertaste and they even taste good when mixed with water! I get them from Amazon, they are supposed to be available at Whole Foods Market in the beginning of 2017. I also use a drink called Isopure Ready To Drink, they also have several flavors, my favorite is Blue Raspberry. They come in 20 oz bottles and have 40 grams of Protein. They are very good and have no aftertaste. I hope this helps you! Protein Powder. 1-888-582-2580, www.proteinmilkshakebar.com, Best Wishes & Good Luck!!!!

I haven't been drinking my Protein Shakes , I don't have no sugar at least nothing I'm not suppose to have as far as sodas candy cakes I don't eat or have any of that . what I do have is salmon, Spanish, sugar free freeze pops , or sugar free ice cream. I have a half of boiled egg. Love me some Water. I did have a bacon sandwich. And I was drinking G2 Gatorade which I just stopped on Tuesday . what could have put the 6 pounds on me? I don't work out to be honest anymore just don't have the strength. My menstral just came on yesterday but got news that I gained Tuesday. So I don't quite understand

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
