Congrats both Mikey and Matt Z! Both are very impressive!
I have a question if you don't mind. Mikey I like the idea of prolonging the Protein Shake as primary Protein source for a few months. Do your shakes have many carbs? How many were you drinking per day?

Hey ppl thanks for your kind words..
Each shake is 150kcal
30g Protein
2g carbs
1g fat
At first I was drinking 3-4 a day for months.
I finally got some new clothes so I'll have to get some new photos soon...

I have been following my surgeons fairly restrictive low carb eating plan for a month. No more than 10 carbs per meal. This past weekend I smelled some delicious pizza and almost cheated, but held strong and had my wife make me Keto pizza. No problem. This morning however my Filipina wife made her fried bread she eats with her coffee and I cheated and had a small piece.
Now you might be thinking this topic is going to be me crying over cheating. Its not. I don't regret it because after having it I realized it wasn't that great. I mean it tasted good but so does many of the low carb things I eat. That is me working through food addiction one step at a time. Thanks to wealth of information on here, I am progressing. Thanks to all of the posters on this forum.

I plan to retire to the Philippines in 10-15 years. Is managing the nutrient malabsorption an issue many years after surgery?

Thanks for the reply. I knew there was another one out there. I'll take the chance and do the bypass. Thanks again.
