I love your videos! Thanks for being consistent in posting weekly. I have my appointment with my surgeon October 3. He will give me my gastric bypass surgery at that time!

in my third week I dumped with very ground turkey. It was approved for my program, but not by my tummy. For me, dumping was my throat got very tight (hurt) and then would relax, then tighten again. This was about 1 hour. Finally I was able to throw up, it was just my body getting the turkey out (not vomiting like I was sick). I won't try turkey again for months. Gun shy is a great way to describe it.

Perhaps try a RTD protein like Premier and add it to hot tea or coffee, or even iced. I would drink three cups of decaf tea/coffee and add about 2.5 oz Protein to the 8 oz drink, it watered it down enough for me to tolerate, I was able to drink a whole shake in a day. Also have you tried the ricotta bake? It was so good, easy to make and tasted so good. And dumping is no joke! You learn really quick to not eat sugars. You are doing great!!!

Try the Promier protein H20 . I can’t handle sweet stuff. I watch closely on getting all my vitamins in daily and staying hydrated. The protein water you can find on Amazon or Walmart. I also seen protein powder that u can mix in anything that has no flavor.

I worry about low back pain after my surgery. I already have it I guess I need to start stretching now.

Hi Kaki Congrats on your progress! I’m only on Day 2 of my pre-op liquid diet and so far no hunger. I pray it doesn’t get harder. My dietician recommended Orgain Organic Protein Powder Natural Unsweetened. Question: what makes it so hard to drink water. Do you get full or nauseous? What happens if you force water when you don’t want but need it?

Can you try the boost flavourless protein powder I throw that on everything. 🤣 I’m struggling with the protein intake on my 4th week n now introducing more foods kind give my baby cramps 😢 but all good just constipation is killing me lol😅

Just thinking out loud here…what would adding salt to the protein drinks do? Might it help balance the sweet?

I'm curious as to your exercise regime?
