I'm 10 and post rny and I was wearing 20-22 depending on cut but now I'm in a 16 with 53 pound weight loss so I guess it depends on your body.

I've eaten there but there is no way I could eat anything bigger than that kids pack minus the tortillas. It is super yummy and has really good options for WLSers..

I usually heat 2-3 oz very very very hot and then mix the remaining room temp with the GENEPRO then mix the 2 no clumping

I stirred it in at room temperature and then put it in the microwave. But even then, I could only get it so warm before it would clump up. This made it do-able at least. (And I always kept in mind that the liquid stage wouldn't be forever...)

im 10 days out, and i started taking the advantage chewable vitamins 2 times a day, im drinking 70+ oz of Water, it didnt turn dark until i started on the Vitamins, but im going to watch it

They need to run a urinalysis to check for blood in your urine.

Hmm, the only thing I can think of is maybe a Vitamin your taking? My urine was a florecent yellow color, but I only noticed it after I took my b complex vitamin, the rest of the time it was almost clear or very light yellow. If my urine gets concentrated that is a cause for concern. Sorry I couldn't be of more help, I'm sure someone knows

Have you tried the Premier Protein shakes? I really like the vanilla, try different flavors until you find one you like. Also, there is a product called Isopure, which has a ton of Protein and may flavors, I have to dilute with Water because I don't like the taste.
Also, you can get whey Protein Powder and make your own, just make sure to limit the sugar.
As you know getting enough protein is super critical to our success.
Good luck!

How everyone I just had my vsg surgery on 5/22/17. I am almost 3 weeks out I feel great, my incision are almost heal I am tolerating liquids fine the only problem I encounter was not liking none of the Protein Shakes. My last resource was the sugar free carnation Breakfast & I like it. The only problem is I was worried because 13 grams of Protein per shake is not enough to meet the requirements so I bought fairlife milk that have 13 grams of protein plus the the shake makes it 26 grams of protein in each shake. Just putting it here just in case anyone else have a similar situation or problems with the protein shakes. I am very excited with this new journal I am starting can't wait to start exercising.

I been doing PatchMD for 2 years now. No complaints

Thanks.. I wasnt asking how much the procedure is though. I kno that varies. I was asking when you were given the total amount of the surgery and what your out of pocket would be. Does the insurance company give you that information or does it come from the surgeon's office? Was it as soon as you were approved in the letter? Or shortly after? I was already given my out of pocket from my surgeon before even getting approved. I guess they are basing it off of others who may have had my same insurance idk.
Im just asking so I can prepare myself and kind of give myself an idea of when I should schedule my surgery for.

So sorry you are going through this. What made you wait so long without any results to finally do something? 4 years of no weight loss, no feeling of restriction and worsening pain is a very long time. I can only imagine your tolerance of pain for you to go so long without medical treatment or advice.

Call the county bar association in the county where you had the surgery and ask them for a medical malpractice attorney. The County Bar will have a referral group that will provide you with 3 names which will do consultations. Interview them and then research them before signing a fee agreement.
On another note, I am so sorry that this has happened to you. I just don't have words. You also may want to contact the state medical licensing authorities - sounds like this doc needs to lose his license.

Wow, this is more than malpractice, it's fraud, possibly criminal. Speak with an attorney and see if they think you should report to the police or at the VERY least the local medical licensing authority.

Wow. This is something I want to follow.

I wouldn't have your Dr contact him. I would have your Dr document everything then sue the living hell out of the other one. And report him to the state board.

Just start calling around. Usually if the first one you call doesn't handle those kind of cases, they'll direct you to someone who can. It's medical malpractice....that's the type of case you have.

I'm sorry this happened to you. The first thing I would do is gather all the receipts and and get a statement from the doctor you just saw and contact a lawyer.

A friend of mine came up to help me go through my closet and get rid of everything that was too ridiculously big....that was about a month and a half ago, and I already feel like I need to do it again. T_T

I'm afraid this is how I'm going to be. I'm dreading the pre-op diet but just think of it as preparing you for what after surgery is going to be like
