Topic: Books or sites suggestions for Gastric Sleeve Diet?

Hi, most of the sites or books I have looked into do not talk about the specifics of gastric sleeve diet, does anyone have any suggestions?

Topic: Unopened Meal Replacements..What to do?

I have a loving ton of meal replacement shakes and such that I could not stomach after surgery. I suggested to my doctor's office to have an area where unopened items can be donated for others to take. They declined stating that they need to monitor what leaves their office.

Has anyone seen/heard of a thread where people are getting rid of their unused items?

You may find some difference in acidity and taste, other than that, the bottled Realemon juice is great. Just shake well before using.

Keep on losing!

Topic: RE: RNY and Gout

I had my rny back in September, 2009. I still get flare ups occasionally but it's milder in the attack and length of time. I hope this helps.

Topic: Warm Lemon water in the AM

Hi,

I drink warm lemon water first thing when I wake up, for many reasons.

My question is: Other than the obvious benefits of using fresh food above bottled food...for those of you that know, would using fresh lemons for their juice actually have a benefit, nutritionally, above using bottled lemon juice? Purchasing fresh may be out of my financial/locational reach, but if I can be convinced otherwise, I'd switch to fresh.

Got any input?

Topic: RE: When to increase calorie intake?

At this point, hunger is most often from acid, dehydration, or just your head playing tricks on you. Try taking a PPI or H2 blocker and see if that helps. Increase your liquid intake and see if that helps.

Topic: RE: Meal ideas

The RNY and VSG forums both have daily meal posts that might be worth checking out for ideas. :)

Topic: RNY and Gout

Hello everyone

I have experienced gout flare ups off and on for the past 2 years. On 9/14/15, I had RNY surgery. I have been drinking protein shakes and eating small meals since surgery. Two days ago my gout flared up again. I have been to the doctor and started MORE medications. Does anybody have any idea what protein shakes will assist me in obtaining my protein goals and not increase uric acid? Any suggestions would be helpful.

Thank you.

Haters gonna hate. If you don't agree or care for what's being said here or what this site represents, simply leave. Why waste time going on and on trying to defend your opinion? You're looking for sites related to help with obesity. Obviously, your methods and ways of thinking have not been successful. **** or get off the pot. Stay and learn something or leave and keep attempting to do it your way. Good luck in your endeavors. All the best.
