  1. I have eaten popcorn, but the skinny kind, very low carb, it is good. Just don't stuff yourself.
  2. Hi, as far as Protein shakes, "Protein Milk shake Bar" Excellent product, www.proteinmilkshakebar.com, phone 1-888-582-2580. Variety of flavors, not gritty, no aftertaste. Protein drinks, Isopure Ready To Drink, variety of flavors, 20oz. bottle has 40g. protein, my favorite Blue Raspberry. Good Luck!!
  3. Hi, I've tried many Protein Powder products and you're right some of them are disgusting. The one that I found that I think is the best is "Protein Milk shake Bar". They have a variety of flavors, it's not gritty, no aftertaste. I mix mine with 1% milk & one day I ran out of milk and it said you could mix it with water, and I thought UGH, BUT I used the water and to my surprise it was actually good! It has 22g protein, and is 119 calories. I just love this product. Here is their website www.proteinmilkshakebar.com, phone 1-888-582-2580. Good Luck!!!!
  4. Are you doing your Protein drinks? Like Protein powder shakes?
  5. I drink Isopure Ready To Drink. No sugar, but has 40g of protein & zero carbs. They have a variety of flavors my favorite is Blue Raspberry. It is really good.
  6. I don't know, but you are not alone. I've had the cat give me dirty looks!
  7. Hi, I am 18 months out of RNY and I still burp after eating, and yes it hurts but once it's out it feels a lot better. I guess it's just something we have to put up with! I can't speak for the people who have to be around us, but I have no regrets for having the surgery and you have to keep a sense of humor!
  8. Hi, I started drinking protein 3 days after surgery, no problems with nausea. If that's his only concern I would just try it & if you have a problem then stop & wait the 3 weeks. Good Luck!
  9. bypass witch, what is a 5 day pouch test?
  10. If you are RNY have you considered having the pouch loosened up? I vomited everything for the first three months and then he did a loosening of the pouch and problem was solved, but your weight loss will drop off some.
  11. Hi, don't panic it's normal. Mine is finally tapering off. I was shedding like a St. Bernard! Mine lasted about 10 months, drove me crazy, I left a trail wherever I went! It was quite the experience. Mine was coming out so fast & furious I thought I was going to end up at some hair transplant club, Lol. Just go with it, smile and it will stop. I can tell you this but you won't fully believe it until it actually stops. Best wishes & hang in there, keep a sense of humor about it & you'll be ok!!
  12. I'm having the same problem! Any suggestions would really be appreciated. One note: After surgery I kept throwing up, this went on for 3 months. He finally did an Endoscopy & loosened the pouch. No more throwing up, but weight loss dropped off. Do you think I need to get it tightened up?
  13. 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!!!!
  14. Hi, there is a drink called Isopure Ready To Drink. It comes in several flavors, my favorite is Blue Raspberry. They are 20oz. & have 40 grams of protein. I really like these. Hope this helps.
  15. Hi, Yes I was about 2 months post op and I craved and ate a clementine! OMG I thought I was gonna die. I'm 15 months post op now and have no desire for anything that resembles a clementine. Also I used to love pasta & rice, I can no longer tolerate them. I try to eat them and Up they Come! So I'm leaving that alone for awhile, Lol.
  16. Not after surgery but before, Didn't do a thing for me.
  17. Hi Jennifer, It's Cinnamon again. I just wanted to tell you something else I use and you might like. It's a drink called "Isopure" it's in a 20oz bottle & there is no sugar but it has 40 grams of Protein. It comes ready to drink. They have a variety of flavors but my favorite is Blue Raspberry. They are very good, no after taste. I don't get them from Amazon as they seem to charge more. I got mine from Lucky Vitamin, and I believe they are available at Health food Stores. Hope I didn't bother you, but We gotta have options ya know!!! Lol Cinnamon
  18. Hi Jennifer, I'm one year post op. I've tried many Protein powder shakes and the very best one's that I have found are from "Milk shake Bar" They have a lot of flavors. They can be mixed with milk or Water. My 2 favorites are vanilla Caramel and Rocky Road. They mix up beautifully and have no after taste. I get it from Amazon, I don't know where you live but they are supposed to be available at Whole Foods in the beginning of next year. Their phone # is 1-888-582-2580 and e mail is www.proteinmilkshakebar.com, give them a try, I don't think you'll be disappointed! Good Luck to you! Cinnamon
  19. Hi, sorry you are having all these issues. I had an issue with throwing up every time I ate something for 3 months after surgery. My surgeon did an endo and loosened the pouch opening a little. I've had no problems since. Good Luck to you, and make those medical people pay attention to you. You deserve the best!
  20. If you have a cell phone, set an alarm everyday to remind yourself.
  21. One of my biggest challenges was reintroducing foods in to my diet. Eventually everything worked out but I used to love rice & if I think about rice now, UGH and pasta, can't get pasta to stay down & it's been over a year. You just have to go slow & try try again!
  22. Hi, Ok I e mailed the company. They said they are exclusive to Amazon right now but expect to be in Whole Foods next year! Hope that helps!
  23. Sorry, No. I haven't seen it in any retail store. They have a website www.proteinmilkshakebar.com, or phone 1-888-582-2580, they should be able to help you! I hope you get a chance to try it, it's really good!
  24. Hi, I use a brand called Milk shake Bar Protein Powder. It is very good, not gritty, no nasty after taste. They have a variety of flavors, my 2 favorites are vanilla Caramel & Rocky Road. They are gluten free. I get mine at Amazon. I've tried others but these are the absolute best.
