The Binder is SCREAMING At Me! LOL!
Some surgeons have their "wants" I had to deal with the fact t that I'm vegan. The were understanding and we've had to discuss that along of the pre and post op diet criteria didn't match my diet. We made a plan that works. Even in the hospital they brought me a milk laden protein beverage, even though they know I'm vegan and lactose intolerant. I had my mom bring my protein powder from home and all was well. You just need to talk with the dietician and work things out Eddy Blaine Brown II

Protein trial
Some of them are ok, mist of them are junk. Be watchful. A lot of them have a lot of sugar in them. Also a lot of them are heavily dairy based. This is a lot of extra fat and calories. Eddy Blaine Brown II

August surgery
That is quite possible especially if you had sugar issues. I would wait at least 90 days as long as nothing major before going to an eye doctor for new glasses. If it seems to be a bigger issue definitely get that checked out. I know my moms glasses needs changed greatly after surgery Eddy Blaine Brown II

August surgery
Feeling great. I want to do so much more than I feel I should. I feel like returning to things as normal. I know I shouldn't, but I know I probably shouldn't. How are you doing Eddy Blaine Brown II

Anyone for August 2020
With your history of weightloss and gain over the last 8 years I wouldn't worry about the 6 month program. You've been on the "Diet Teadmill" long enough to teach the class. You'll be fine Eddy Blaine Brown II

Postop without narcotic pain meds
Mine did the same. I took the pain stuff for 2 days, but probably didn't need it. The other I did as well, but probably only needed it for 24 hrs. Im sure they can find a solution Eddy Blaine Brown II

Three days postop
Well I did it finally. Im feeling good. Surgery was Tuesday morning and I was olhome before lunch time on Wednesday. They have me on very minimal medication, otc pain medication and a script for tummy issues, but i really don't even like taking them. I know I should, at least in the short term. Fwwling good. Ive lost 7 lbs in 2 days, but i still have a long way to go. Eddy Blaine Brown II

Bariatric Weight Loss Major Turning Point Decision
For the issues you are having it sounds like the full bypass is really the only option that makes any sense. The sleeve could make the acid reflux worse. Also you probably won't get the desired results with the sleeve because of confounding factors Eddy Blaine Brown II

I spent a lot of money on protein but I can't drink any of it
Try a vegan protein powder. If your lactose intolerant there's no wonder. Orgain makes a decent one. I get one from gainful.com. it's a semi custom blend, and they will work with WLS cases. Eddy Blaine Brown II
