  • I also started the day after surgery. I think it must shock the system or something, because I shouldn't have. I'm sure it is something that the surgeons would gladly advise you on.

  • The nutritionist didn't release me for protien bars until about 3 months out, the lifetime stage. I never did a lot of shakes. I added protein powder to everything and reached my quota that way.
    in When can I have protein bars? Comment by lkrenz0307 September 2014
  • My staples are eggs, string cheese, cottage cheese, and Isopure zero carb drinks. Nearly every morning I'll scramble an egg, usually adding a quarter cup off mozzarella cheese to give a little protein boost. Though this morning I made a big batch of pumpkin spice protien pancakes and froze a bunch in an effort to change…

  • I've seen a few comments mentioning Quest bars - I've not heard of them. Are they available just anywhere? Are they high protein?

  • I did best with egg white protien. It's nearly flavorless and mixes nicely without a chalky texture. I mixed it in everything...pudding, yogurt, soup - it bumps up protein, but not volume. It's funny how our bodies change. I am just at 3 months post op and have found that my body now rejects chicken. I've tried multiple…
    in Help, Sudden intolerance to protein purée stage RNY Comment by lkrenz0307 September 2014
  • Change it up - I got frustrated because I wanted some variety. Try different flavors of greek yogurt, mix protein powder with pudding, cream of wheat or soup. There are some good powders that mix nicely. I found an egg white protein that was nearly flavorless that I mixed in to different things so I wasn't just doing…

    in 1 week post op RNY Comment by lkrenz0307 August 2014
  • I went with the RNY after researching and talking to the surgeon extensively. Ultimately I decided on it because it has a longer history of success and after hearing that sleeve patients go in to revise to RNY if sleeve isn't successful I decided I'd rather not have a second surgery and go with the old tried and true from…

  • If you have a flexible schedule you can go back sooner. I have a desk job but am able to work from home. After a couple days I started working a few hours a day. It is really important to be very prepared beforehand though. Be sure you have "food" planned out and don't get caught up in work and forget to be sipping on…
