    Hi. I bought the Body by Vi shakes way before I ever had my gastric bypass surgery. I had a very large hiatal hernia and could not drink the shakes. When I went in for my pre-surgery nutrition counseling, the dietitian said that there was not enough protein in the shakes so not to use it...

    Hello from new bypass survivor.

    Thank you for the fun feedback. I know all of these emotions will soon pass. I know what got me to the point of needing this surgery. And even though I am a food lover and a great cook, I know I will get through this. I can't wait to start cooking and eating my own healthy food. Being from...

    Hello from new bypass survivor.

    I had my gastric bypass surgery on Monday, August 26th. I am still on a full liquid diet for another week. I am finding it hard to drink enough liquids. I hate protein shakes at this point in time. I found that if I put a scoop of unflavored protein powder in my cup of broth that it is not...
