What is the name of that one you posted about Atkins chocolate chip granola Protein bars are a great choice for gastric bypass patients.( from what I'm told) They provide 200 calories and 17 grams of protein. Unlike many Protein Bars, which are high in sugar, these have only one gram of sugar. Maybe others on the Fourm can suggest some other ones. I Belive there was a post or somebody said something about protein bars but could not find it. What about granola bars have not checked in to them and don't know if we can eat them.???

My wife has been with me from the begining and she has Gave up a lot for me. Going out to dinner, movie popcorn, soda, alfrado and penna with grilled chicken used to be my favorite. It would be nice if all loved ones could get on the program and support us. This is not a ez Journy. Like I told my wife it's not that we can't eat any more it's just what and how much we eat now. Thank god for her she supports and helps to much at times Surgery Anniversary 7/30/12

I don't know I have never seen anyone show what their incision look like after a year. I would like to see. They got to get smaller as your skin shrinks . You would think Surgery Anniversary 7/30/12

Welcome Got questions just ask away. We are here to support everyone we are all in this together Good luck on the 10 that's only 9 days away Surgery Anniversary 7/30/12

You will be just fine the pre op diet is to me the hardest part I was on it for a week before surgery and 2 weeks after. But you will love the weight you will drop. Good luck with the surgery. And know that we are all cheering for a speedy recovery Surgery Anniversary 7/30/12

No mine are healing up real nice except for the big one and I have a stich sticking out that has worked it self out from the inside got to see doctor Tuesday Becuse of side affects for Med's will have them yank it out then. From what I'm told never seen any pictures of anybody that got to their goal weight what they look like or if they still have badges to show their Journy Surgery Anniversary 7/30/12

Pain yes but that's why they give you Med's take them it will relax you and help you heal. Gas pain is the worst but walking helps and is a good start to getting more exersice. So walk but don't over do it take it ez in the beginning. Incision pain will go way in a few days. You will be tired all the time this to will pass. What I dident expect was rapid weight loss or as much as I have lost in the first month. I con only hope I lose 28 more pounds in the next month. Just remember after surgery do as your doctor says and you will be fine Good luck on the 10 We always room on the losers team for more losers, on this team it's good to be a loser. Anymore questions just ask Surgery Anniversary 7/30/12

I started to cough in the hospital maybe 2 days after surgery the doctor said it was nothing to worry about. That if I was to start bringing up anything to let him know ASP You should be all right.

Right after surgery when they made me walk I would feel like I was going to throw up but was just gas. That lasted only a day or two Sorry you had a ruff start to your Journy Hope your feeling better Surgery Anniversary 7/30/12

I had a bit of chicken and as soon as it started down I knew if was not going to sit well my god that was the worst pain I have ever felt. Never knew throwing up could make you feel so good. Chew chew chew sounds ez right. Surgery Anniversary 7/30/12
