There are actually at least 2 books. The Big Book on the Gastric Sleeve and others. Search them on Amazon... I am just beginning my journey so I cannot help you otherwise... good luck to you

Topic: RE: Where's the Beef?

Okies. :) Thank you! Is there any reason soy is the one to go for plant-based?

A pure whey protein isolate should contain little-to-no lactose so you should be fine.  If you go plant-based then you want soy.

Hi I had my band surgery around 2011, occasionally I may have night time gastric reflux with intense coughing, my question is what is a better  med  or success overcoming this?

Topic: Unable to eat or drink in the morning????

Hello, does anyone else have experience with not being able to eat and barely drink in the morning? I have heard about waking up tight after laying down all night and stomach fluids coming up. But I'm hungry and I would like to eat before noon! Any experience or suggestions? Thank you!!!

I am 5'0 and 146lbs and that you listed is what my surgeon (who also has had RNYGB) recommended. Exactly.

Topic: Where's the Beef?

*POSTING THIS IN VSG AND DIET AND NUTRITION FORUMS*

So as a newly pre-op I am starting to take the stroll down Protein Lane, trying to get starting stocking up on the goodies.

Just ooooooone small catch...

I'm lactose intolerant...it's not a pretty sight...it could be classified as down-right frightening...

So questions are:

1. Is the whey in protein even enough to set off ye ol' time bomb?

But more importantly:

2. Has anyone had experience using plant based protein powders and have any suggestions?
