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

      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!
