Sc882012 replied to Sc882012's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
Im doing better now that I'm in week two. I get a few gas bubbles because I forget I can't gulp water or whatever I'm drinking at the time. I haven't had nausea at all during this whole new life change which is surprising. Hopefully yours will stop soon it gets easier, I think when day 7 came everything seemed to be a lot better! I figured I needed more protein because my body was so week, my friend and I both got some protein shakes so we did that one day and felt soooo much better. And getting to have a few bites of yogurt was a nice change! Things are finally starting to get better! -
Hey everyone! Sleeved 6/24. I know what everyone means about stalling! How many carbs should aim for each day?? I'm eating 60-70 grams of Protein and want to make sure I'm not eating too many carbs.

"Administrative Fee"
Mimilou2004 replied to FLbandgirl1985's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
It sounds like highway robbery to me. I have heard of these program fees before and think that amount of money is crap. There are other fine surgeons out there who charge nothing extra or just a few hundred. Please keep your options open and check out a few more places. Mimi -

Kaiser Wls Patients
Larry Stuto replied to hayleylamas's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I did sleeve with Kaiser. No it will not un qualify you. I asked the same question. Had to lose 20lbs. pre surgery. Lost 26lbs. They go by original weight. Good luck. I just hit my goal of 175 from 297. I love my sleeve and have had NO problems. I don't even notice I had surgery except for the amount of food I can eat is so little. Just what I needed. I love the fact that sleeve lets you eat anything you want. The portions was my problem and now it is solved. Bypass surgery restricts you from Dairy and sugers . Not to mention ALL the problems they seem to have after surgery. I think Sleeve is the BEST option out there, Best of luck to you and your new Life/figure/. LOL! -
Thanks everyone for the help!! But I noticed someone on here said that our taste and what you able to tolerate changes after surgery. So do you recommend waiting till after surgery to buy protein shakes? I was going to purchase some to have for after surgery.

Are all of the calcium options that people have listed in this thread in the form of citrate? I am struggling to find a Calcium that is in the form of Citrate. That is in gummy form.

Anyone try an Oatmega bar? 14 grams of Protein. http://givebar.com/products

how much daily protein is our goal ? & how much can the body take at a time? :thumbup:
-
The only way I would know would be to take a couple of those New Whey liquid protein shots...those are about 42g's of protein at a time, and they're less than 4oz. each. I don't suggest it, but that's how it could be done.

Try Nectar brand protein powders. I love there cappuccino one..the even have an Oreo cookie and chocolate mouse flavor! There are over 20 flavors for water and milk:)
-
I use protein shakes from designer whey and champion whey i went online and bought it. Vitashoppe.com.. my friend that had surgery 11 yrs ago introduced me to them. And so happy she did cause i cant stand stuff that taste gross. I love the cookie and cream one along with many others and like 1-2 g sugar comparied to some others

My nutritionist says your body can only absorb around 32-34 grams of protein at once, so eating/drinking more than that isn't necessary.

I like all the same ones as @@Inner Surfer Girl. . I would add UNJURY chicken soup for a non-sweet option.

Moms giving me cold feet
elli'smommy replied to kailie's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am a Lap Band to RNY revision. I never did great with my band (lost about 45 lbs or so) but then about 8 months out my band was ruptured during a fill. I was bounced around from doc to doc until I was finally told that because of my Diabetes and PCOS that the band would not even be an option for me anymore. So I'm having the broken device removed and the RNY done! I cant wait!! I wanted the RNY 4 years ago but went with Band bc my husband and mom was terrified and talked me out of it. I wish I had stuck to my guns. Research as much as possible, take into account any other metabolic or physical issues you have, then make the choice thats best for you and STICK TO IT! Don't let anyone talk you out of it! Best of luck! -
I like the juice base ones from Nectar and LOVE the chicken soup from Unjury.....They are all about 100 cal low to no carb, no sugar.. Protein is over 21 for unjury and 34 for Nectar...

Yes your tastes will more than likely change after surgery so even if you absolutely love something right now, post op you may hate it. Good luck on your search. Check around online. You can get samples of most of the protein shakes so you can buy some and mix them yourself (some syntax flavored taste good in crystal light).

It's not truly the surgery that causes the hair loss. No amount of Protein, Vitamins, fluids, magic pills will guarantee you won't lose hair. I have not met one sleeve patient that didn't endure some sort of big "shedding" some lasts longer than others. Here's other threads that discuss the topic of hair loss http://www.verticalsleevetalk.com/topic/9817-the-hair-diaries/page__p__85627__hl__+hair++diaries__fromsearch__1#entry85627 http://www.verticalsleevetalk.com/topic/9393-hair-today-hair-tomarrow/page__p__83200__hl__+hair++loss__fromsearch__1#entry83200 The 2nd topic link I posted has actual medical articles and explanations to why we experience hair loss. Yes, part of it is related to the drastic dietary change, and lack of protein in the beginning, but there are patients that got in their required protein grams plus and they lost hair longer and more than I did and I didn't get in my protein until I was 6 weeks out. I even lost hair after my gallbladder surgery in February 8 months post sleeve, and my hair had finally stopped falling out 2 months prior.

Best Deal For Unjury Mix.
allmyjoy replied to ForMyfamily's topic in Protein, Vitamins, and Supplements
Personally, I order from the website. I love the taste, I put the unflavored on my lower protein foods. Recently ordered the chocolate, tastes just like chocolate milk with no gritty after taste. To me just not having that after taste is worth it! -
In an effort to lose weight using Chris Powell endorsed Bod-e products by Vemma, I discovered the protein drink called Bod-e Burn. Has lots of good vitamin stuff in it and boasts 20 g of protein for 6 oz... comes premixed in a can. Really pricey, but I loved the taste (sort of mango/orange/little bitter). However, I am not sure it would be considered a "clear" liquid... tastes like a juice but can't see through it... anyone know what is a "clear" liquid? Also, it is slightly carbonated... would that be a no no?
