My father and my step father both had this procedure done. I know with my dad he is not aloud to have anything with sugar in it. It makes him extremely sick. He also had to take prenatal vitamins I believe for the 1st few weeks after. I've never heard of taking protein shakes, I was always led to believe those shakes help you gain weight, but I could be wrong. I have noticed with the 2 of them, their appetites are somewhat different. My step dad had this done about 3 years ago and for the most part only eats cottage cheese and mash potatoes. That's all he can really handle without getting sick. Oh, and I forgot to mention ice cream. He originally lost about 90 pounds but has gained about 50 of it back. Now my dad only had this done about 7 months ago and he has already lost alittle over 100 pounds. Neither one can eat fast or they get sick. I know this sounds bad but my dad has told me once you have this surgery, you really do lose your appetite and have no desire to eat. You eat because you have to. The only thing he watches when buying food is to make sure there is no sugar and very low sodium. But after a few months you can pretty much go back to what you used to but you will notice a lot of foods will make you sick. It hard telling you what because everyone I know who has had this done is slightly different. I hope that helps you some.
