Not understanding how I gained 4 pounds , do all I'm pose except the Protein Shakes until I find one that agrees with me. My primary care said the G2 Gatorades might have done it because they have 7 grms of sugar but that's what my surgeon suggested that I drink with my Water as well. Who has RNY and gain is what I'm saying being 5weeks out from surgery

It could be not enough Protein, too much sugar or carbs or even not enough Water.

Just keep working at getting that Protein in.

I drank g2 for the first few weeks as it was all I could tolerate. Now I'm back to plain Water, full leaf tea, or Vitamin water zero.

I gained 2 pounds with my period. I think a lot of us do.

Right and mines just came on today

Hi Tyani, I use the brand Milk shake BAR for my Protein Shakes. They have several flavors, are not gritty, no aftertaste and they even taste good when mixed with water! I get them from Amazon, they are supposed to be available at Whole Foods Market in the beginning of 2017. I also use a drink called Isopure Ready To Drink, they also have several flavors, my favorite is Blue Raspberry. They come in 20 oz bottles and have 40 grams of Protein. They are very good and have no aftertaste. I hope this helps you! Protein Powder. 1-888-582-2580, www.proteinmilkshakebar.com, Best Wishes & Good Luck!!!!

I haven't been drinking my Protein Shakes , I don't have no sugar at least nothing I'm not suppose to have as far as sodas candy cakes I don't eat or have any of that . what I do have is salmon, Spanish, sugar free freeze pops , or sugar free ice cream. I have a half of boiled egg. Love me some Water. I did have a bacon sandwich. And I was drinking G2 Gatorade which I just stopped on Tuesday . what could have put the 6 pounds on me? I don't work out to be honest anymore just don't have the strength. My menstral just came on yesterday but got news that I gained Tuesday. So I don't quite understand

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.
