Topic: RE: Consumer Reports July 2010 on protein drinks
Thanks for the heads up!!! Do you know which protein drinks we should avoid or do you have a link tothe study? Our community should definitely be consuming the best product!!! I've heard there are some we should avoid because the protein quality is poor.
I always check out www.vitalady.com for protein options and then buy big with with the products I've sampled (you can buy samples there before investing big) and like a lot. Michelle (aka vitalady) had WLS herself and has spent over 10 years researching products that are bioavailable and the best for us. I know she's gone through her products in detail so if it's on her site then I'm pretty sure we can trust the products.
Our poor kidneys are in danger as a post-op anyway from the high protein counts most of us get in. I started taking milk thistle a few years ago to help guard my kidneys & liver. And...best thing yet is to make sure we are hydrated!
It's good to see a Dr. Blackstone patient posting! We don't hear much from that group these days
Take care friend!
** I'm currently a fan of the Nectar products from Syntrax and Champion Pure Whey Stack. Both are whey products and the Nectars are whey isolates. ...supposedly the best protein source available to those of us who malabsorb.

Topic: RE: New Wardrobe??!!
With summer here I'm still hooked on capri pants and shorts.
As far as the best place to but come to Sun City Thursday, Fridays, and Saturdays. ESTATE SALESand GARAGE SALES are the best here. I wore a nice blouse and capri pants to support group this Morning. I had $3.00 in the set. Can't go wrong with the prices.

Topic: RE: What would you do?
Bubbles get some fills and try to make it work. You paid a lot of money and got a great tool so try to use it. I don't live very far from you so if you would like I will work with you, help you and excersie or walk with you. I know a few people that have had RNY and it can ruin your health permantly.

I'll bet many of you are finding yourself in the same boat as I'm in right now:
Nothing in the house that fits??!!!!
crazy but exciting!
If you could go shopping and buy all the basics to start a new wardrobe, what would you buy??
My 1st priority:
1. Jeans that actually fit (thinking maybe NYDJ = not your daughter's jeans)
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
7.
8.
9.
10.
What great deals are you finding? Which stores have nice clothes for discounted prices?
I like to buy new but realize there are a lot of good discount stores out there.
