Hi not a problem; After I had surgery I developed a pouch on my remaining sleeve due to excessive post-op vomiting I had internal bleeding & kidney failure. over the next 5 months I was unable to drink or eat. i had to have exploratory surgery to repair the pouch 3 months after initial surgery then a month after that I had to have gallblader removed which had to be done with incision instead if scope. I vomited for 5 months every day all day had a feeding tube for 4 months of that. I lost 200 lbs in 10 months. total of 4 surgeries numerous hospitalizations & countless ER visits. feeding tube was removed about 6 wks ago have neen eating & drinking well for about 3 wks now . Thats my story

bitc h, bitc h, bitc h!!!!! :angry:

you think you have problems!!!!!

this afternoon i couldn't decide between blueberry or strawberry yogurt!!!!

you know i'm kidding you bud!!!! ;)

i/we are all sad for what you've gone through this past year :(

i've "seen" you and your horrible situation/story on the board in the past

i can only imagine what a hard time you went through :(

you have a family - having them have to watch you hurt

not a joke - but - you having to watch them dealing with your pain :blink:

glad things are finally, very slowly, and very overdue - improving

200 lbs down - the very hard way!!!

do you mind if i ask you your starting weight, and where you want to end up????

you went through such hard/miserable/painful times........

you should get an award for bravery above and beyond the call of WLS :)

take care of yourself

get stronger

huggggggs

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
