Gastric bypass

I had recently bought slim fast and I didn't know Amazon has all the stuff I need before my wieghtloss surgery. Slim fast isn't something that helps so I gave them to my sister.on Amazon I found the Protein 2 o waters because my adopted sister is going through the same kind of thing only I think hers is the sleeve. I am so excited to be going through this journey because I waited 20 years for something to happen like this. I was once very skinny when I was a kid due to lots of health problems especially diabetes I gained alot of weight always hunger thirsty etc..I'm still training my brain to say no on certain things. It def works so far. I lost around 50 pounds since last year or was it forty pounds and I'm trying my best to loose it the diets working that im on I eat more veggies rather then candy. What are your thoughts on sugar free candy I think there are additives in it I cut those out as well.

Hello, I have noticed a lot of the stuff we eat or drink cost way more on Amazon but it is more convenient. I just thought I would give you a heads up , based on my experience. Your choice, I sometimes just pay it because the free shipping makes up for the cost difference of having it delivered with shipping fees somewhere else too. Sometimes I order stuff from Walmart too, or I go to Bj's. (need membership)

Everyone has a different opinion on the SF stuff. I have heard it makes you crave sugar more but I don't have an opinion on that. Sugar alcohols give A LOT of people diarrhea, so you might want to watch that too. I personally don't like SF candies so I just avoid it and if I really have the urge will eat a small piece of something sweet with real sugar.

I do drink SF drinks tho and don't mind them so I don't know what the difference is for me. I have never been a sweet drink person so that may have something to do with it. I LOVE SF lemonade!

Good luck to you!

No problem! You will find lots of support here.

But, also lots of different opinions which could become overwhelming especially in the early stages when you are still learning and getting used to everything.

Over anything else, listen to your team and Dietician! You are trusting them with your life while preforming surgery, so you should be trusting them throughout the entire process. And you will soon learn everyone's surgeon and bariatric team have different rules and guidelines.

I have to agree I accept others opinions I have very high confidence my surgery is gonna go fantastic. I know there's a lot of stuff we should not eat I stopped myself before I even knew about what kind of process I had to do I've been reading the blue book. I know after surgery to drink and sip on only once from a very small amount. It's kinda amazing how many men and women lost so much weight and kept it off especially keeping the will to work out five days a week.
