I eat sugar free pudding with GENEPRO mixed in. I get yumminess and my Protein in. DS surgery 12/14/2016

I am flying soon and only taking carry on. I of course need to bring Protein with me. Suggestions on how to pack my GENEPRO? I don't want to bring the entire 90 serving container. DS surgery 12/14/2016

Yay!!! Congrats. DS surgery 12/14/2016

I'm not sure what side my stomach was pulled out of.... I was asleep DS surgery 12/14/2016

I did and still do now and then. I had my gallbladder out and was blaming it on that along with that is the side my horrible drain was on. DS surgery 12/14/2016

Tomorrow I will be 3 weeks post op and have lost 24lbs. DS surgery 12/14/2016

Hey! Where do you buy your GENEPRO from -- Amazon? Currently on Protein shakes but if I can mix it into my food later that'd be cool too. Can't wait till next week when I can have pudding. Do you think it's the best flavorless protein powder? I do get it from Amazon about $1.10 a serving (30grams protein) when you buy the 90 serving container. I haven't tried others brands so I can't say how it compares. I tend to find something I like and that works for me and stick to it. DS surgery 12/14/2016

I drink broth with GENEPRO in it and it seems to satisfy the late night food cravings. If it is a sweet craving I mix genepro in sugar free pudding. DS surgery 12/14/2016

After tons of research and speaking with friends who had wls, I chose Dr Ayoola. He is genuinely the most heartfelt and passionate doctor I have ever met. A wonderful man and an even more impressive surgeon. I do not take anesthesia nor surgery lightly but was 100% confident in his hands and those of the anesthesiologist he has used for years. My only complaint would be on some of his office staff, which seems to have changed recently. The NUT in his office is wonderful. DS surgery 12/14/2016

Out of all things I could crave I want Raman noodles so bad! Ugh. DS surgery 12/14/2016

Just like you have a tummy similar to a newborn so will you have poopies. DS surgery 12/14/2016

Your surgeon should have anesthesiologists that they work with regularly. I actually got to speak with mine before surgery, made sure they were in-network for my insurance and get an idea of who is holding my life in their hands. I would honestly recommend deciding which surgery is best for YOU by researching it yourself. Not the one whatever surgeon you are talking to wants to do. Some surgeons will promote one over the other simply because it is easier for them or what they prefer to do. Pick the surgery then shop the best surgeon and team to perform it.

I had the DS even though my BMI was 40 and I had no other issues. Why? Because if I was going to put my body through surgery I only wanted to do it once and it has the best long term results. I am also fortunate enough to live close to one of the best highest rated DS surgeons in the county. I would never have chose the surgery otherwise. The surgeon is so extremely important esp with DS.

Try to get a tummy binder or wear something that will gently squeeze in and help hold the part of your tummy that hurts the worst. And as horrible as it sounds try to walk at minimum every hour that you are awake to get that gas out. Make sure you are following the diet instructions fully as well. Sorry that's all I have. Hope you start feeling better. DS surgery 12/14/2016

Can a special forum for Millennials be created so they don't get their feelings hurt here? DS surgery 12/14/2016
