@YoBL I hope the gas pain gets better and u have a fast recovery!

Hi there, I am scheduled for RNY bypass, and it is 28th also. That makes 4 or 5 of us with the same date. Welcome!

Congrats! That sounds like an amazing plan with great support, I'm sure you will rock it!

Congrats on your loss so far!

Thank you! This site and the people are amazing! So many things you can learn and it's nice to have a "world" of people who understand and know what you are going through at any given point along the way.

Welcome @Snookums49 I am pre op bypass as well. My surgery will be August 28th.

I don't know about band removal etc, but I have aetna and anytime i needed approval for any procedure I was told they had 14 days.

A friend of mine who had surgery about 3 years ago recently told me this and I thought he was nuts! So, I guess it is for real.

@YoBL Good luck today!

Congrats on your very own "normal" lol

Ive heard genepro is the best as far as taste (or lack of I should say) Also, the unjury ive heard good things about. I am still pre op until August 28th so I havent experimented much with any since they say tastes change post op.

I have no personal experience with genepro, but.... I have seen articles and peoples comments on here. They are or were going through a lawsuit because there is supposedly only 10 grams of protein instead of the 30 as advertised. Im not saying its not a quality product, just don't want you to short yourself as far as the protein u think u are getting. If it mixes clear and flavorless I would use it but maybe only count it as 10 just incase. My opinion only!

In between the ones stated i will also have PCP and nut appts as well.

Cheetos?

I will have one at 2wks, 6 mos, and 1 yr then yearly after that. It doesnt seem as often as most people Ive seen commenting on here. I guess im just getting nervous about post op support. I know can always call. Like i said, just nerves.

I am curious as to how often you all see your surgeon post op - gastric bypass?

I do have one more nutrition appointment before my surgery on the 28th. I need to ask about it if its not brought up. I know they want the carbs we do consume to be from produce and legumes mainly,but had no idea there may be a minimum amount.

Wait, what? I never knew there was a minimum carb goal? Is this pretty common on most plans?

Welcome to both of you!

Its not premade, but Unjury chicken soup flavored protein powder seems to be very well liked and one of the few savory ones ive seen. I believe it has to be purchased from their website.

I plan to take pics and measurements. Not sure if/when i might share them. Also plan to track and journal alot of what happens along the way.

I love my air fryer. My boyfriend works swing shifts and i have a teenager still at home, so its nice and easy when we arent all eating together. Less, fat, mess, and hassle.

I use my phone. When i click it, I can enlarge it.
