I use Unjury...at first it was just the Choc. I kind of got sick of it but it does taste good and 28gms of protein with 8oz of milk. I've been using the unflavored now and I LOVE using it. I put it in everything.....

With protein it is all relative to what you taste is. I hated EAS, Boost , Glucerna and Atkins....but those were all shakes not powder. Best of luck with your choice....

Definitely! Food has become an enemy to me. I eat so little now it's scary but when I do eat it makes me nauseous and gassy. Burping gas mainly because the other kind hasn't been a problem since before surgery. I also seem to have a lot of bile. When I eat, sometimes it comes up like to food I just ate dropped in and pushed it up. It's not pretty. Doc says just eat whatever I can to get the calories in because I can't do the "conventional methods" that seem to work for everyone else. This all is a bit scary to me now so I'm just hanging in there. Going for blood work tomorrow to check my levels and see where I am with that. Hopefully things aren't too bad! 

My pain is NO WHERE NEAR as bad as it was!! I think the muscles are healing quite nicely at this point! The left side can hurt up to 6 months after surgery my surgern told me. I thought the horrible pain was gas...and he assured me it is probably just the muscle healing...he was right about a week later the pain had subsided. But I am also not working out or pushing anything. I mean I have a 2yr old that keeps me running my ass off all day but I haven't hit the gym or my treadmill since surgery. I had my RNY on 1-27-09. Just take it easy is all I can say n let it heal a lil more maybe. I hope ya feel better soon!! xo

Hi there!

I am a medical biller. How long can I expect to be off work after a laparoscopic RNY?

Hi all, I am a January 28th LAP RNYer myself.  I had a rough recovery but am much better now.  I returned to work last Monday (the 16th).  I am down 18 pounds since surgery and a total of 79 pounds altogether (pre-diet for insurance).
