I will be having my DS done around the mid to end of April. I am working on getting my Vit D up and have a redraw on the 3rd. My insurance has approved my surgery, so once my labs are good I will get a date. I was wondering what specific brand of protein powder you buy. I know that it must be isolate and that the back must put isolate as the first ingredient, but I was hoping you could tell me which brand you buy and where you purchase it. My surgeons office has a store in it and they have protein powder there, and its not priced too bad. I just thought I would shop around a bit before surgery. 

I buy Syntrax Nectar vanilla, chocolate, strawberry mousse and cappuccino flavors. Normally I buy them from Vitalady.com but if I'm stuck I'll pick one or 2 up at Vitamin Shoppe. I buy all my vitamins from her as well; can't beat one-stop-shopping.  :)

Feelings: good, but my body is tired

I missed you yesterday, Sumundo.  It's become an unwritten law that you post before me!! ;-)

I hope you had a good day off. You sure deserve it.

OK, here we go with the deja vu again with regard to my menu.  I haven't had strontium since Sunday night, as I keep sleeping through (well I waken, but not enough to get out of bed).  Sunday I had dinner early and went to bed latish, so I got iron and then strontium all in before bed.  Unfortunately I'm not running so early today.

I bet you pick back up on your habit soon.  Nice Bites! : )

Howdy.
