Hi everyone, I am new to this site. I already appreciate all of the stories and knowledge that i am gaining already. I am almost 4wks post op. I had the Gastric Bypass on 7/16. Overall Im doing well and learning to adjust to my new life. The hardest part for me is dealing with the mental effects of what did I do to myself...LOL.

To all of you who had surgery in the past couple of weeks best of luck to all of you. you have made the best choice to get to your goal weight.

Im not going to lie to you, its tough at first but as anyone will tell you Sip all the fluids you can stand. get in protien by whatever source you can. walk your butts off it helps ease the paint and starts you off on the exercise train.

If something/you does not feel right CALL YOUR SURGEON!!!

But it will start paying off soon, dont cheat!!! exercise and hit your daily numbers.

oh and my advise put the bathroom.scale in the closet. your body will vary daily between 2 to 3 lbs based on.alot of factors.. dont dive yourself crazy!!!! weight yourself once a week or bi-weekly. remember its just a number. judge your progress on how you feel and how your cloths fit.

I wish all of you the best health and a speedy recovery.

I'm drinking the herbalife but after surgery it does not taste good to me.

None of the protein shakes I liked before surgery taste good anymore....they almost make me gag...they all taste soooo sweet!!! Thought I would try the isopure pre made drinks...I got alpine punch, icy orange and blue raspberry...they are hidious!!! I think they taste like they have soap in them...my taste buds are crazy!!!

I understand, I can't stand the isopure. I finally found a Protein Drink that I like, not too heavy or sweet. It is called premier protein- found it at SAMs club, I'm sure you can order online. It has 30g of protein And low sugar and carbs. You may want tot try that!

I made a vanilla protein shake and added strawberries and banana and skim milk it tasted really good and i was able to drink it.
