Topic: RE: Pre-Surgery and First week Post Op Questions

Unjury is a well-respected product.  Like the above poster said, it's 100% whey protein isolate, which is well absorbed.  We were told to stick to 100% whey protein isolate early on.  Some of those other protein drinks may be blends, which aren't as well absorbed.  I do drink blends occasionally now at 16 months out because I'm getting most, if not all, of my protein from food, but that's not the case in the early weeks and months.  

Syntrax Nectar products are also 100% whey protein isolate, FYI.  Lots of people use and like those, too.

I agree with the others - call your surgeon.  When I had this happen, it turned out to be a stricture.  It's an easy fix and I felt better immediately.

Topic: RE: Advice

most people on here are most successful doing low carb (mostly protein and non-starchy vegetables) and eating around 800 calories a day during the weight loss phase.

I eat fruit as well, but then, I'm not very carb sensitive.  Those who are carb sensitive avoid fruit as well - or eat very little of it - because the sugar in it causes cravings for them as well.

  1. Canned meats (tuna, chicken, etc)
  2. Nuts
  3. jerkys of any meats
  4. beans (incomplete proteins)
  5. protein bars

These would be a great options

I think you must consult a good doctor asap.

Tell me what you usually eat during morning, noon and night

I wonder what you eat every day. If you wanna lose your weight then you have to completely abandon having fatty food and too much non-veg stuffs too. I would suggest you to have GM diet. I've heard a lot of success stories of those who have lost their weight within 7 days.Take a look at it.

A strict GM diet will definitely help you to reduce weight.

It would be better to talk with your doctor regarding this. He/ she is the only one who will know what exactly is happening to you.

I think you should eat 5 times a day instead of 3 times. Increasing the number of times doesn't cause any harm but will help you from starving. We are strictly told not to starve in order to lose weight. You should have fruits, juices, salads, etc. in between to make you healthy. Also, drink green tea daily without adding sugar. Regular workout will also help you to reduce your weight.

Topic: RE: BOOK RECOMMENDATION: DIET FOR SOMEONE WHO HAS HAD WEIGHT LOSS SURGERY?

It would be a good idea to get connected with a reputable bariatric surgeon/program in your area.  WLS requires life long follow up to help you remain healthy.  The new bariatric program can provide you with written guidelines and also a refresher visit with the dietician. This way you will receive information specific to you and the surgery you had.

Topic: RE: ICE anyone? I'm stoked!

Thank you for the recommendation.  I also have a problem with drinking too much Coke and have been trying different drink options.  I can't stand the taste of LaCroix or other sparkling waters either.  I've tried Propel but that left an aftertaste, Bai Blueberry is actually pretty good but contains sugar alcohol so not sure that will work after surgery.  I'll give the ICE water a try.  Good luck on your journey :)
