I’ve tried literally 20 different kinds of all kinds of protein. They all make me dump. It’s awful. I went to my local supplement store and told them what was going on and they suggested collagen pills. I’ve been on them for a week now and so far so good. They’re expensive and huge ( I break them into thirds to get them down). I’m gonna try adding collagen powder next but so far these are a miracle and with the protein I’m eating they get me to my daily goal.

I’m also in Washington. West side. I’m one week post-op. I also lost a large amount (53lbs) before surgery. I freaked out a little after surgery when I first weighed myself. I gained 8 pounds in the 3 days in the hospital. There’s no way other than retaining water. One week post op and I’m back down to my pre-op weight. I know it’s hard to turn off that part of your brain that’s been trained to watch your weight for so long, but it really is for the best. Just stick to your plan. Hope that helps.

The same thing happened to me. I was worried they’d cancel my surgery or it wouldn’t be successful but everything went great. I only lost 6 pounds and was still able to do laparoscopic. Good luck!
