  5. Does everyone have to have a c section after having weight loss surgery I've heard conflicting things about this but just curious if its possible to have a vaginal birth after
  6. Thanks so much for input I have a paper from what they gave me postoperative and the papers says protein drinks with 20gram to 30grams of protein so I got these premade ones till I get to the gnc store near my house to buy the isopure because that's what my surgeon and nut say are good ones they gave me a list of others but cannot find it anywhere :/ but I like the sound of the orange cream flavor mixing these I have been very regular since my surgery had bm the next morning after surgery anyways I will look into all of these thanks so much again.
  7. hey everyone i am like 4 days post op the duodenal Switch there isnt much support groups out there for this because there arent alot of people who get the duodenal switches but its very similar to the RNY anyways i was just curious what premade protein drinks can i drink? i need to go to the store today and get some for these next 4 weeks that im on my stage 1 (full liquids) diet. i have to drink 2 of them day between my breakfast and lunch and between my lunch and dinner... i should have asked the surgeon but i was so set on going home yesterday Friday that i forgot to ask any questions about what i can get until i can order some from off line... Also wondering a good website that has protein shakes that i can order from... Ive heard of protein powder that has no flavor and also heard of one thats like a cheese soup or something/? i have lost all the posts on here that tell you this. id would definitely appreciate it if someone or a few someones could let me know any of this!!! THANKS ALL. AND PLZ NO BAD COMMENTS ABOUT THE SURGERY I CHOSE. THANKS AGAIN
