Hi Susie!

I had a gastric bypass on November 29, 2000. It is the current version of the

stomach stapling, which is now called a RNY (Roux en Y) bypass. They bypass

most of your stomach and make a smaller pouch. It is much safer and more

effective than the old way. I had food restrictions for the first two weeks

after surgery - only liquids or stuff like cream of wheat or yogurt. After

that, I had no food restrictions at all, except that I had to chew my

food really really well - into mush before swallowing. Red meat is the hardest

to digest, and that's why some surgeons say you can't eat it for the first few

months, but I have not heard of anyone who can't have it for a year. I am

supposed to take a multi-vitamin every day, but no other supplements are

required. Large pills are harder to swallow, so you have to chew them up, but

that's about it. I am not required to have a protein shake daily, in

fact, I rarely have them at all. You are supposed to eat the protein part of

your meal first, and not fill up on carbs. I would tell your friend to do some

more research on surgeons in her area, because this one sounds very restrictive

compared to others. Here is a great website for guidance ----->

http://www.obesityhelp.com/morbidobesity/index.phtml

When I had my surgery, I weighed 386 pounds. Now, 10 months later, I weigh 261,

have had no complications from the surgery, and can eat anything I want,

including alcohol, red meat, etc. Of course, my portions are smaller - about

half a regular size portion, and I really try to eat healthy, but that's about

all. Feel free to email me privately if you want more info.

Warmly,
