I had the worst goosebumps after one swig!! Ick!

I am pre-op and have not 100% decided which surgery I will ask for. I am really just hoping for any tips as I get into this process even further.

oh okay, well I had the Sleeve. I think it was the best choice for me. I didn't want any rerouting of my insides. I also didn't want to be on several Vitamins the rest of my life. I take some now but I believe you take more with the bypass. It's really up to you and what you feel is right for you. Although a lot of people say they don't get dumping syndrome with the Sleeve I can tell you that sweets give me a horrible headache and make me feel bad and I'm almost a year out. Which ever you decide on, one tip would be to not bulk up on Protein and other items before surgery. Your taste for them will change after and you don't want to be stuck with stuff you don't like anymore.

Oh also this site is great for resources and support. Lots of supportive people on here but you will find those who will be a pain in the butt with their comments. Just ignore them like we all do!

I am back and forth with the sleeve and bypass... I may just ask the surgeon what he thinks is best considering I am almost 25. I honestly hope that with whichever surgery I get... I do have the dumping syndrome.. I'm come from a long line of hard headedness haha. As for the Protein I have definitely heard that, and for now I'm just buying single packets.

Oh I know about being a hard head, I was glad that when I tried sweet stuff I got the headache. It stopped me from having more. lol

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      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! 😞
