November 8 RNY surgery after having a lap band and gallbladder removed. It will be 1 month post op and I feel I'm doing good, although I have problems with all the vitamins/ minerals, B12, B complex etc and getting enough Protein in each day. I have not had any sugars, high fat foods or carbs since before surgery. I need to get back into all the Protein I need to continue feeling successful. How much weight lose is good in one months time ?

I had a bypass surgery on 8th November, I think that lost weight is base on each individual on the first month I lost 39% of my goal weight but now am in a stall. For your Protein problem I highly recommend you GENEPRO the stuff is great you can mix it with anything cold or hot even your regular meals one scoop is 30g so it is easy for me to get my Protein intake with the help of the supplement. They sale it at GNC look for reviews if you want to make sure before you expend the money because is a little pricy

I found it at a GNC and last month they have buy one get one half off so I got two. But you are right not all GNC have them you can also buy it online but just be careful because someone told me that she other one once and it wasn't the real thing.

I found it. Two GNCs near me had it. One said they didn't have it but called me back and said they had it. The other one had one left so I ran up and bought it. I had one tell me GNC doesn't carry it. I am trying it now. It has a slight taste and it turned my apple juice and Water a milky color.

      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.
