Topic: RE: I Have two questions
Hey Demetria,
I set up my first appointment with the surgeon, on July 27th, he sent me for some other med evals ~ sleep study etc, I was approved for surgery on August 8th! I have Tri-Care prime. I had several hoops to jump from the approval date. My surgery was on October 22nd, I have lost 14.6 pounds in 11 days (that was the last time I weighed.
My prayers are with you, I know how intense all the hoops can be to get approved. Let me know if you have other questions, I would be happy to help!
Blessings,
Angel
Topic: RE: New Pouch/New Diet??
Hey Annette,
I am Angel, my RNY surgery was October 22. According to my surgeons instructions, 50-75 grams of protein per day. I have found Isopure at the local vitamin/health food store. It is a clear protein, I like passion fruit and blue raspberry, but they have many flavors. I don't have any problem getting down 1 - 1 1/2 bottles, sipping it all day. I also use it instead of water to mix up my sugar free jello, that really makes it easy to get in my required protein!
Let me know if you have other questions. I am a week ahead of you so, I may have experienced anything you may be facing.
Blessings,
Angel

WTG Brenda!
I am 12 days out and have lost 13.6 pounds as of today.
My prayers are with you. I cant beleive you are exercising already. My doctor wont let me start until next Monday, which will be two weeks out. I had a hyatial hernia during my surgery, so maybe that is the reason.

I just got home from the doctor (my regular one) and he dropped my bp meds from three times a day to once a day, too!! My first goal was to get off them, so almost there already!!

Hi Jodi,
I'm on Bp too. I'm down to one a day since surgery. Today I really felt great. Think I drink to much water though feeling a little stuff. Welcome to the loser side.
