Have you tried them since your operation? There could have been other factors that caused your bp to go up at that time. How much did the bp go up? I would give it another try. Also, you are not going to use them at the rate you had to pre-op. When I use them now I will use one or two in a...

to this day I still use premier protein shakes. I like the taste and you get 30g protein in each shake. the three flavors, vanilla, chocolate and strawberry I have enjoyed. I do favor the chocolate.

Don't worry, the weight comes off. As long as you follow your program faithfully the weight will come off. Your weight loss will be slow at times and then suddenly drop quickly. You might even gain and then lose. But the weight will come off.

For me my stomach still fills up quite rapidly. Yes, it has gotten larger over the 3 years plus for me. But, I am still never hungry and a bagel is too much for me. So a hard boiled egg and 1/2 bagel is a meal. Remember I am three years plus since surgery. Typically, I have two softboiled eggs...

Hi, I used to post at least 3 times a week. Just stopped doing it; not good. During 2015 in the winter I had continuous sinus infection. The meds I was on included antibiotics and predisone. I gained 15 pounds and never got it back off. So now I am maintaining between 215 to 220. My original...

We just need to keep on doing what we are doing. I have had a rough six months, gained a little (now 211) and have been fighting an awful flu like cold and cough that wouldn't give up. On meds, predisone and antibiotics, etc. Well over the last few days the cough is finally subsiding got 2...

Glad I can help you. Long Island is a beautiful place; a little too crowded now and expensive!

Hi, I haven't been getting to the forum lately. Anyway, keep following the program. The weight will come off. It finds it way down. You will develop new habits. Yes, the old can creep in. But now you have a new set of tools to "combat" those bad habits trying to work their way back in. It is...

I tend to hold water weight too. However, your journey has just begun. The weight will come off. It has a mind of its own. You will stall, drop suddenly, might even gain one week, but overall the weight will come off. YOU MUST FOLLOW THE PLAN FAITHFULLY; ESPECIALLY IN YOUR FIRST TWO YEARS...

What a wonderful post Cheyenne. The gastric bypass was the best decision I have made with respect to improving my overall health. Not looking back. It is now 2+ years. I gained a few pounds over the second half of 2015, but I am working on them now. Remember it is a tool. You get a timeout...

Yes Bariatric Advantage, excellent. Good luck to you Ralph

You must eat. Follow your Doctors directions. I was on 1200 calories post op and the weight simply kept coming off. If you go too low your body gets tricked and goes into starvation mode and shuts down and losing weight strangely enough becomes more difficult. Ralph

Wow another post op difficulty. I was really fortunate. I had no complications and proceeded to lose weight quickly. Today my struggle is keeping it off. Ralph

Wow you had a rough time of it. I had a lot of bruising too and that can be painful. I am happy to hear that you are on your way and doing better. Congratulations Ralph

Good Morning everyone, It has been a very long time since I have posted. So many things going on. I do hope to post more often. I am doing well although for the year I managed to gain 10 pounds. Anyway, I am working on taking that back off. 10 days post op should be purees if I recall...

Well Cheyenne as usual is always here! I remember your surgery being postponed too. Glad everything is moving forward now. Best wishes, Ralph

Try again. Didn't like my first entry. First of all you are doing awesome. As to pasta it is something you should not be having yet! Wait until you get to goal. I hope you are following your guidelines, protein first and the.... veggies and carbs but limited. It sounds like you are. At 5...

This does not make sense to me at all. Are you telling me you are 100 pounds overweight, a diabetic, high blood pressure and more and you DO NOT QUALIFY for gastric bypass? What kind of miserable insurance do you have? Also, your surgeon's team has also said there is nothing you can do? If...

Your surgeon and his staff should be doing what is necessary with BCBS to get your approval for you! I don't understand why you got a letter. They are the ones that have the experience in dealing with the insurance companies and they KNOW what to do. Go back to your surgeon and staff and get...

Congratulations on the beginning of your new life. I have read all the responses above. I can only echo the exact same advice. The critical issue in the first couple of months is hydration. As time goes by you will see that you will be able to achieve your protein objectives and your hydration...
