Congratulations!! So glad to hear everything went well.

Hi Julie, I was the exact same way. I kept myself busy looking up information and sampling different protein shakes and bars. I am still so anxious and exited at the same time so I totally understand how you feel.

I would still calculate your daily proteins to make sure you are getting enough. As far as protein shakes being fattening - some have more calories than others and more sugar also. Just try to find shakes that have lower calories and sugar content. Also not sure if you have them or not but my...

This seems to be a very common question here- I have posted this I found on a few other threads but I will post it again so you can read it more easily. I found this in my research and think it is very telling for most people. If your medications are not the culprit I would say this probably is...

Welcome to the site. These are a few things told to my friend who had Gastric Bypass done in 03, she had a lot of trouble being hungry also - her nutritionist told her: 1.Don't drink with food - this flushes the food too quickly and doesn't allow you to feel full. (dumping) But do drink enough...

When is the Saturday meeting this month?

Oh wow - my Surgeon is Dr. Teel in the same group. I am having the DS done laproscopically.
