I'm starting to think I have an allergy to whey Protein Isolate. I'm 4 weeks post op and find it harder and harder to tolerate. I'm weak and might be dehydrated too because I get the shakes, flushed, hot and cold and nauseated when I drink the Protein shake. Do you think it makes you more dehydrated? Did anyone ever have the same complication? I have no idea what I'm to do- Is there any alternate. I think soy is not so good for you either. Does anyone have any ideas.

So, DL, you had your surgery quite a while back which gives you a great deal of experience to share with the rest of us. I hope you don't mind me asking you a few questions.

Are you glad you went the by pass way? What do you feel best about the process? If you could share with the rest of us not yet there one thing you consider essential what would that be? Knowing what you do now is there anything you would do differently?

Thank you in advance for considering these questions.

Good morning Nancy. I'm more than happy to answer any questions.

  • If I were making the surgery decision today, I would make exactly the same decision to go with the bypass. I would do it again without a moments hesitation. That said, the sleeve is a safe and effective option that many have had great success with. In my case, I had a history of acid reflux which was completely eliminated with the bypass.
  • Type 2 diabetes, sleep apnea, hypertension, high cholesterol, knee and back pain and 130 lbs - all gone. Vitamin and mineral profile is spot on across the board. I'm walking five miles, at least three times a week. And doing strength training (Total Gym), at least three times a week. I can go into any store, anywhere, anytime and buy clothes from a mind boggling selection. I'm healthy, I'm happy and I'm lovin' the new me!
  • Follow your plan as closely to the letter as you possibly can. Regardless of what your weight is doing, your response is a l w a y s the same - follow your plan. Stay positive. Stay patient. Exercise to your ability. Trust the process. Trust your body. Your goal is physical change but your challenge is mental discipline. Almost as important - maintain a food log. I've been logging in MFP for over two and a half years and I would be lost without it. Logging allows you to manage your weight like no other tool that I am aware of. My weight went from 285 to 155 in just under 14 months. In the year and a half since, my weight has never been below 151 or above 156. This morning it was 154. That's the power of logging.
  • I tried, I really gave it some thought. But in all honesty - I don't know of anything I would have done differently. Other than having the surgery twenty years earlier!

You guys have a great weekend! You're gonna love the new you!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
