Angelica - the bypass is absolutely forever - certainly your pouch can get bigger over time. Part of the WLS journey is learning new and better eating habits. If you have any WLS and continue eating high carb/high fat/high sugar foods, what's the point of having surgery? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I'm at almost the 3 month mark trying to get a post op infection wound healed. The good news is I've lost 75 pounds. The bad news is I am still packing the wound. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I would contact your surgeon/clinic to be sure. It is important to not only look at the protein/calorie count, but the amount of sugars. If it is less than 5, you are probably good. Have you tried the PREMIER Protein shakes? They are 160 calories, 1 sugar, and 30 grams of protein. What is your immediate post op diet plan? Are you only drinking Protein Shakes? What about other fluids like Water, sugar free popsicles, sugar free Jello? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
