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!

      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.
