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.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
