You said' date=' candy, that it was hard to find natural whey isolate. Did you read my private messages? I sent you specific names of natural organic whole whey --- admittedly I did not give info on isolates cause I don't use them.

Sorry none of my suggestions worked out. Protein 17 is an excellent natural whey, and so is rawwheyprotein -- that is what it is called. but they aren't isolates.

There is no one right answer. We all have to figure out what is right for ourselves.[/quote']

When is your surgery, Tizzie?

I don't have a date. My surgeon has said probably in January. I have to jump through a few minor insurance hoops. I had finished all the hoops and she approved me for surgery in jan 2012 but for reasons i don't think fit in this thread so I wont' go into them, I cancelled.

Then life happened and I went back to her in Oct. She said she'd do it in Jan if I redid a couple insurance hoops. Minor insurance hoops. Most of my prep tests were still valid but I had to see the psychologist again and I have to see my primary care doc once a month three months in a row. I saw her in Oct, will see her in Nov and in Dec and on Dec 11th, all my insurance hoops covered, she'll schedule the surgery. Altho it is possible her Jan slots will be filled.

Fortunately all my other prep was still good. Of course I had seen my doc three months in a row before but it has to be within the past 12 months and it was something like within 14 months so I have to do it again. Not tht big a deal but frustrating. I'm ready.

You sound ready, and you seem to have all the information you need to succeed as a vegan bypass patient. I'm sure you'll succeed!

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
