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

      It's been a bit of a struggle this last week...I'm hungry ALL the time.

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      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!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
