Hello! I was sleeved in Aug 2011. Lost 100lbs and then gained 30. Scheduled for a mini bypass April 24. Doing a 4 week pre op diet. Loved my sleeve, just not losing anymore.... no problems with my sleeve, but if I ever ate too much, I’d sneeze like crazy. Weird right? Hoping I don’t have any acid reflux or issues with my bypass. Pretty nervous. My liquid pre op is going great...realize I’m not physically hungry but mentally hungry.

Anyway...best of luck with your decision on a bypass.

I have a hard time finding the great Protein powders here in Canada. Any suggestions?

Hi there! So as far as Protein powders, I haven’t found one that I really like. But I do buy my son Muscle Milk because he’s always on the run with sports and I never really thought about it for me. I tried it and I really like it. I add a piece of banana and some Peanut Butter and ice and throw it on my nutribullet and it really is good! The best part is it’s pre-mixed already! I hope you have that in Canada.

Just curious... what’s a mini bypass? Good luck with it!

Here is a link about the mini bypass. It’s kinda the “new improved” version of a bypass. And it’s reversible if need be. I like that in case of complications:)

I checked out Popeyes today. I tried the LeanBody shake. Very sweet. Tomorrow I will try the Creed powder. Still can’t find GENEPRO here. When I’m in San Diego I’m hoping I can find a store and stock up:)

I had my sleeve back in 2012 with no issues or anything bad, actually has been a positive experience overall but ready to continue the journey further, just not loosing, eating huge amounts again, have gained back 60 lbs and have severe GERD and am going to distal bypass in July 2018, hoping it will be a great decision

      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! 😞
