WELL DONE, Mergatroid!!! Glad it want well, now my turn on Monday, 1st case 0730. It was for 11 or so but they called and asked if I could come for 5:30 am so I could have the 7;30 slot, YES I can. Get it done and overwith!!! Want it go well, want the doc rested. I wanted a Board Certified...

The size of the jar of applesauce was the normal multi serving jar so I am not sure but will look next time I am at the store just to know what they were talking about per serviing in amount by oz.

YES you are correct, I was told cannot absorb much more than 19 g of protein. also best to use Whey isolate if you use Whey and not concentrate since concentrate is much harder to be absorbed I am told. I surely am NOT an expert in any of this but that is what I was told. The powder I have is...

thanks everyone. I was not so much worried as I had not heard of Whey or Soy making people vomit, thought it would cause diarrhea instead of sensitive to it. I am fine. did not buy too much until I get to tasting after surgery so can then choose. I did find some protein drinks at Vitamin...

thanks for your reply

yes for sure, applesauce was for latter when on soft foods but then I saw it has 13g of sugars so was taken back. I did think I could use a little spoon of it with crushed pill if I had to but would of course check with the surgeon first or the team. EVERYTHING would go by them before it goes...

So now given what happened and how you are feeling, are you company coming or not? I would say by Christmas you may feel ok but with all that you have been through, why push it! Take Care of Yourself!!

I was not told to take any cleanser and I asked about it and was told the doc does not require it, hmm that is interesting but I am glad to say the least!

JaimeSue Are you ok? You have not posted since before your surgery, so we are worried about you since you have not posted!!! PLEASE come back and tell us you are ok!!! How it is going, come on, there are some of us yet to do the surgery and getting close so let us know you are ok.

Mergatroid you had your surgery yesterday, how are you doing? Keep us posted on your progress!! You will be starting on your journey doing Protein drinks for a couple of weeks while you heal and I will be getting my surgery!! All kinds of emotions, I keep thinking, what in hell are you about...

You know why you did the surgery and you have to remember that, diabetics cannot have sugar and neither will I be able to, seltzer soda I will miss but it is not worth my life, kind of do I want to die sooner so I can have a diet pepsi. What I am really going to miss is Choc Chip Cookies...

Sorry, a new question I went out to get some applesauce sugarless and when I looked at the jar it said something like 13g of sugur and the one with normal applesauce says it has about 18 g of sugar, SO the question is, can we with RNY use sugarfree or no sugar added applesauce at all? IF so...

babsitter44 I read your post when you were early postop and depressed, how long did that last? I am told lots of people get depressed which may be due to hormones but also could be like a honeymoon depression, you plan and dream so long and then the surgery is done and over and now what kind...

I just thought of a question, what happens to post op RNY or Sleeve patients when a GI bug hits, do you vomit like anyone else but less since less was undigested or because what is eaten goes straight down to lower intestines we have less vomiting due to viruses and food poisoning or is it...

Bamababy You have been through the mill and then some, I am so sorry to hear this. You must have had the lung bleb and not known it! Sound horrible!! You are now on the otherside of that and have the surgery and are going to to have a healthier life, the diet you said you are already sick...

I posted this on another forum but: I just heard of a person who had surgery in 2004 and says he is unable to drink Whey products or Soy products since after having his surgery, THAT is scary since all of my protein drinks are Whey products. Does this occur often and if so what do you use for...

I just heard of a person who had surgery in 2004 and says he is unable to drink Whey products or Soy products since after having his surgery, THAT is scary since all of my protein drinks are Whey products. Does this occur often and if so what do you use for protein. He said Whey made him...

YOU should not be in so much pain this many weeks since surgery, your surgeon is an Ahole if he is not attending to your needs. Your Primary Care should be able to prescribe liquid pain meds if you need them and I would definitely report your doc but NOT NOW since you may need him given there...

thanks everyone!!! I seem to be doing great on the Protein drinks but getting the liquid in is a big problem, I never drink more than a bottle of water with non coloric flavoring so trying to get 4 in is not happening, I am trying but.. AND this is pre op, cannot imagine getting in all the...

Explain the difference btw Mini Gastric Bypass and a RNY bypass please.
