Guest guest Posted November 30, 2000 Report Share Posted November 30, 2000 For anyone who is interested...and we all should be. There is a web site that we should all be checking out. www.vitalady.com This website is created by a woman who had an RNY in 1994. She is totally into nutrician and protein supplements. She counsels patients of WLS at no charge, although she does sell supplements. I am on another list and most of those on the list buy the protein she sells. She also says it is very hard for a bypass person to absorb B12 and suggests a small tablet you put under your tongue. She just happens to live about 25 minutes from me and I hope to meet with her next week. She said it is good to start to take extra protein prior to surgery as it will help the healing. I plan to do that. Will let you all know what I find out. Joni Ribera " Now Sleeping in Seattle " Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted December 1, 2000 Report Share Posted December 1, 2000 Gwen baby I feel your pain...I was having the same problem. First of all, I spent the money to get the creatine in liquid form and I just add it to my citrucel. I asked the doctor about the supplements before I left. I think the problem is too much powder to a small ratio of yogurt. He said we could probably not worry about those two until we are able to eat more. He said we came to him well nourished and until we have been on this liquid diet a little longer we are probably ok to pass on it for awhile. I really could not gag it down. In fact, just thinking about it makes me sick. I bought some ensure LIGHT and tried it once and seemed to tolerate it ok. I may try that to get some extra protein for awhile. Otherwise, my suggestion is to actually blend it with juice and yogurt and make a shake and take all day to drink it if you have to. Hope that helps.
