Topic: RE: Protein supplements?
Have you tried the Slim Fast Lo Carb? That is the only protein shake I can tolerate and its not horrible. I also use Carnation Instant Breakfast SF. With the protien shakes its not so much the the taste as it is the texture that I can't stand.

Topic: meatball disaster pls help
ok I am so embarrassed but i have to ask for help and advice. I am only 5 weeks post op today and I made a bad mistake. I made spaghetti and meatballs for my family and decided that i would try a few small bites of a mini meatball since it was soft and i chewed it like crazy- figured it would be like puree by the time i swallowed it. Well I was wrong. I have throw up twice in the past 2 hours since eating it and had horrible pain in my chest and the sweats, naseau etc. I feel better since my second wave of throwing up but i am scared and confused. Was this dumping, or just a bad reaction to eating beef, or my penalty for being stupid enough to eat something solid when i am still on purees? Is this normal or is something wrong with me like a stricture? I am so scared I will never be able to eat like a normal person again. My doctor is very strict and I am still on STage 2 purees but i know others with the same surgery date are already eating solids...so what is wrong with me?
Please help.

Joyce,
I was able to have a lap RNY. My surgeon even hid one of my new incisions on the old scar. She also cut out some of the old scar tissue while she was in there. Good luck with your process.

I had my gallbladder taken out in oct 1978, while I was 3 months pregnant with my 2nd child. It definately WAS NOT done laparscopically. I don't even think that was around then. So, my question is, were you able to get the RNY lap?
Waiting for surgery date...as the psych eval has not come back yet.
Hoping for late July or early Aug.
Hope to hear from you soon.

That is so great!! You and I are about the same progress wise. I had my surgery on 05/23/08 and have lost 28 lbs. My one month is coming up soon! I never measured my inches but I definitely will do that once I reach the one mark.. Everything happened so fast I didn't think to do my inches!! Well way to go on your progress!!!
Topic: RE: I have only lost 8 pounds since May 14 surgery
I had my surgery on May 30 and actually feel like I have gained weight. On week 2 after my surgery I was on pureed soups, instant mashed potatoes, etc. I felt so bloated and still kind of do. I don't get my first fill until July 10. I was interested to see if anyone else was struggling.

Topic: RE: How are the May Surgery Ppl Doing?
Hi everyone,
I had surgery on 5/8 and I'm 40 lbs down. I really need to learn to expand my food selections because I'm eating the same things! Turkey chili, LF cheese sticks, Trader Joe's soy crisps, peanut butter, salads, etc. It's getting easier dealing with head hunger but certain things (soft-serve ice cream) make me want to go into a closet and scream! It's getting easier though, and I have NO regrets.
