  1. 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
  2. Why do you think you've failed? Maybe with a little positive support you can right the ship. Lets talk about what did go right, what didn't, and what needs to happen next. Eddy Blaine Brown II
  3. 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
  4. 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
  5. 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
  6. 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
  7. Congratulations Eddy Blaine Brown II
  8. I lost 7 lbs in first 3 days, but haven't seen much movement since Eddy Blaine Brown II
  9. I'm one week post op. I know we're supposed to stay hydrated, but I seem to have no trouble taking in fluids. I try to space it as best as possible. I just don't want to ness up Eddy Blaine Brown II
  10. Hope all went well Eddy Blaine Brown II
  11. Your probably ok. Fl doesn't seem to want to lock down anything Eddy Blaine Brown II
  12. I'm in. My surgery was on August 4th Eddy Blaine Brown II
  13. You should see them right before surgery Eddy Blaine Brown II
  14. 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
  15. 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
  16. 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
  17. I went to 5he same surgeon my mom had do hers 2 years ago Eddy Blaine Brown II
  18. They barley stuck the tip in. I was very surprised. It didn't even seem valid, but it met the requirements to get my surgery Eddy Blaine Brown II
  19. I'm having to redo a nutrition appointment I did before my original surgery date. They now have it scheduled for about 1 week postoperative Eddy Blaine Brown II
  20. All went well just about home Eddy Blaine Brown II
  21. Headed in Eddy Blaine Brown II
  22. My bad. I misunderstood the timing of the onset of GERD Eddy Blaine Brown II
  23. My procedure is in just a couple of hours. Over 1 year in waiting. Time to get it done Eddy Blaine Brown II
  24. 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
  25. My surgery is tomorrow. Im ready to get it done. I've taken of 30 lbs in the last 2 weeks on the pre surgery diet. Lets get it done already Eddy Blaine Brown II
