Mine is to always stay on top of my Nutritional supplements.

Lets hear em and what needs to be done to accomplish them. This just might be an inspirational way for us to help each other out.

It is called The Texas Weight Loss Surgery Summit. It is a summit that has to deal with Post-op Issues of all weight loss patients. Pretty much focusing on nutrition, diet, excercise. ETC all AFTER SURGERY CARE. The main speaker will be Dr. Garth Davis from TLC TV Show "Big Medicine" you can get more info or register at. Texas Association of Bariatric Surgeons (A website for weight loss surgery patients and the people who care for them.) - Home Im sure its going to be very very imformative. Ill be there. I think.

Bariatric fusion is alright. Check out Bariatric Advantage. I did a side by side comparisons of some of the different Vitamins and Bariatric advantage has more nutritional value, they also send out samples for free just call em and let them know. Thats how I got my samples. Its a 7 day supply. Bariatric Advantage - Nutritional supplements, Vitamins, Proteins, and Help for Gastric Bypass, Distal, Lap Band, Realize, Stomaphyx and Duodenal Switch Surgery Patients check them out,

One way is to take a higher dosage of Iron, I know bariatric advantage has a 3 forms 18mg, 29mg, and 60 mg. The 60mg One I had and it taste pretty good it is lemon lime flavor. Here is the link for you to look st if interested. Bariatric Advantage - 60mg Iron

The fact that I am an asian american and my body kind of needs it lol Im doing fine, just like with everything do not overdo anything.

Yeah that seems real strict, but hang in there. What made some people I know feel better is they would get some kind of a Meal Replacement shake and drink it to make them feel full there are also these things called control bars that actually have been proven to suppress appetite, now that I havent tried. Check it out here if your interested take a look. https://www.bariatricadvantage.com/catalog?cat=High-Protein%20Meal%20Replacement&so= https://www.bariatricadvantage.com/catalog?cat=Control%20Bar&so=

Proteins are very important and is a good part of someones diet, from my own personal experience drinking Protein Shakes or Meal Replacements can only but help you. You can also try meal replacements. Like this.... https://www.bariatricadvantage.com/catalog?cat=High-Protein%20Meal%20Replacement&so=

If taste is an issue you are better off getting something like an unflavored Protein thing that you can mix with everthing check this out.....you just might like it. Plus 27 grams of protein per serving, you cant beat that. https://www.bariatricadvantage.com/catalog/itemHandler?id=1240

Oh my goodness you have no idea how much I agree with you. I love carbs and I can eat it all day and all night. lol Try to find something else to get addicted to. I know easier said than done. But check these out they are actual craving suprressant nutrition bars. heres the link take a look. https://www.bariatricadvantage.com/catalog?cat=Control%20Bar&so=

I have another site that you might want to check out. In terms of Protein. I think they are the best, it taste good. And I think you can even call them and get a sample before ordering bigger tubs. check it out here they are labeled as Meal Replacements but they are high protien ones. https://www.bariatricadvantage.com/catalog?cat=High-Protein%20Meal%20Replacement&so=

Some Proteins are just that proteins with maybe a little bit of other stuff on there. AS for Meal Replacements with high Protein there would be more usable nutrients in there as some people use it to replace meals. So i vote for meal replacements. https://www.bariatricadvantage.com/catalog?cat=High-Protein%20Meal%20Replacement&so=

When it comes to Protein the one thing you always hear people complain about is the taste. To avoid that alot of people will just go ahead and settle. But some people went and bought some unflavored protein that you can mix with your food. Heres a link check it out. https://www.bariatricadvantage.com/catalog/itemHandler?id=1240

Ill chime in heres the link to what I have tried, They are amazing. https://www.bariatricadvantage.com/catalog?cat=High-Protein%20Meal%20Replacement&so= I like the chocolate and the vanilla, But i know with some people that are sensitive to taste. The unflavored one is really awesome, due to the fact that you can practically mix it with anything. Your food, coffee, you can even add it to whatever you are baking. I heard its a lifesaver in terms of Proteins, due to the no taste factor.

They do have some as well that are pretty much whey bullets but these are flavored they are call profect. Im sure you have heard of them they are good. I like the ruby melon twist. Heres the link, take a look at this. You can probably even buy the sample kit so you can try the flavor that you want. https://www.bariatricadvantage.com/catalog?cat=Liquid%20Proteins&so=

I believe there is a Protein pill, but you would have to take like 6-8 pills just to get enough protein to get by. If taste is an issue for you, you are better off getting an unflavored protein that you can mix with your food. Heres a link check it out and you just might like it. https://www.bariatricadvantage.com/catalog/itemHandler?id=1240 Take a look at that some people I know really like it since you can mix it with pretty much anything.

yeah bread is amazing. I love bread give me some bread. lol

one great source of protein and if done corectly is amazing is the good ole lean chicken breast. cook that puppy up with olive oil and spices and you are all done.

Motivation is definitely needed. I know that food is amazin, but remember if not done correctly it is your enemy. I HAVE MOTIVATION FOR YOU. How about not wanting to get fat again, not wanting to feel heavy, not being out of breath whenever you walk up the stairs, feeling like crap after eating a whole load. How about the idea of maybe not living long enough to see you kids grow up and have kids of their own, how about spening the thousands you do for lap band just to thow it all out the window. You need to breathe and think before you do anything. Self control is an art that must be practiced not someting that comes naturally trust me I know. So fight on, wether your banded or not eating right is hard for a lot of people. I HOPE THIS HELPS

Yeah whey protein is tough and not all are created equal. The one that I liked the most is the profect proteins which is made with whey here is the link check it out and you just might like it or not lol but its worth looking into. https://www.bariatricadvantage.com/catalog?cat=Liquid%20Proteins&so=

Sometimes I can not understand why people would even post something like this. I mean isnt the point of this surgery is to loose weight, so why would you want to go back and eat whatever you feel like, wouldnt that set you back or even make you feel sick? any thoughts

Please understand that everyone that undergoes any form of weight loss surgery their taste buds change as other love the vitamins and others do not. But there are different flavors that you can choose from and from what I know if you ask for some samples they will give them out free of charge before committing to a larger bottle. Hope this helps at all

Calcium can be gained in different forms. Remember you need citrate. Check this website out as they sell different forms of calcium. https://www.bariatricadvantage.com/catalog?cat=Calcium%20Citrate&so= They have something thats like crystal light, Im sure if you ask for some samples youll get some before committing to a larger quantity. Hope this helps

Heres another shop online that you might want to take a look at. www.bariatricadvantage.com

Try the bariatric advantage brand. I heard the flinstones and centrum are usually high in sugar and are not meant for the lapband patient. heres the link. https://www.bariatricadvantage.com/catalog?cat=Multi-Vitamins&so=
