ABOUT LAURA

Laura is this site's founder and strongly advocates the importance of protein as a nutritional supplement on a daily basis for all persons, especially those who have had weight loss surgery (WLS). Laura had the RNY (Roux-en-Y) Gastric Bypass procedure in October 2005 and has eliminated approx. 140 lbs. Please click on her gallery to see before and after photos. She lives in Tucson, AZ and feels that a new gift of life was given to her following surgery. Laura began her journey at a weight of 300 lbs, at 5'11'' and now maintains her weight in the 160lb range.

You can read her private thoughts via her journal located at the ObesityHelp website.

This website was started as a result of Laura sharing her favorite protein with her local weight loss group, only to discover that many, many people were having trouble finding a great tasting protein source!
She continues to enjoy community outreach about WLS and protein health benefits.

Laura's selected surgeon, Dr. Steven Simon, is located in Phoenix, AZ and can be located at 602-264-0910. His website is under construction and will be added when available to this site.
You can also read about him from other patients.

WEIGHT LOSS SURGERY

The below website link is one of the best info sites that Laura has found throughout all of her research into Weight Loss Surgery (WLS). Please note that there are several types of WLS available, each with their own pros and cons. The most successful person is an informed patient. Read as much info as possible, talk to your local support groups, email people online, and ask many questions when interviewing surgeons. Some insurance coverage will or will not apply to you and this may also limit your choices.
WLS is not for everyone, so please study your options carefully and remember that WLS operates on your stomach, not your head!

Protein is a vital part of our body and its ability to perform and heal. Protein is in each of our cells and is important for the growth and repair of muscles, tissue, and metabolism. Each surgeon has different guidelines for how much protein each person should ingest every day however the average seems to be 50-60 grams per day. However, check with your doctor for your own plan. Many people make the mistake of starting protein supplements after WLS instead of preparing for surgery ahead of time. It is recommended that persons undergoing WLS, or any type of surgery such as plastic/reconstructive surgery, begin supplementing protein as soon as the surgery date is known so that your body may be better prepared. Don't wait to prep yourself, start hydration and protein as soon as possible!
