gastric bypass revision and diet



Recommended Posts

Hi I am new on here and I am not really sure where this question should go. I am in the process of having a revision to my gastric bypass (it was done in 2004). I was doing really well with it until my car accident in 2006. Then inability to move and a few other issues made me gain some weight back. Well I am having a hard time getting all my Protein in and I was also wondering about other people's success with the revisions. What are the best Protein Shakes for the price out there? Are there any suggestions anyone can give me this time around? Besides don't get into another car accident lol.

You don't have to wait...they send the info to your doctor...so it can be approved before the surgery for your pre-op diet as well...or so that you have it after the surgery, when you need it most...as it will take a few weeks to get everything processed...just FYI...

Do they send it to your primary doctor or your surgeon?

I believe the form asks for your Bariatric surgeon... I'm almost positive (almost) that it goes to the surgeon.

If you don't like the flavor, you can change it, or "spice it up" with some Toscani sugar free syrups...I love the raspberry in the chocolate... just FYI :) LOL

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
