New to Georgia board

Hello everyone! I am new to the GA board so I wanted to introduce myself. I am 42, married with 3 kids. I am 1 week post op. I had the Lap RNY with Dr. Richard in Gainesville, GA. Everything has gone very well so far. In one week I have lost 15 pounds! I am very excited about that. I post mostly on the October page, but was looking around and found this one. This is a great site and I can't wait to meet more people on my journey. Best wishes to everyone! Hugs, Sherry

Welcome to the Ga board and Congratulations on making it to the losing side!!!!! Sounds like you are staying very positive so soon after surgery... you need to stay positive because that is the main thing that will get you through the hard times!!!!! Keep us posted and please come on the board and ask any questions you want! Have a great weekend! Jennifer W.

Jennifer, Thanks! You have done awesome too! I love your support page! It is so cute! I do have a question, I have a liquid high potency vitamin and mineral. It is orange flavor. The smell is so bad that I can' bear to take it. I can mix it with other liquids, but the smell is just too much. Have you found a vit/min that works for you? Please let me know. I don't want to go too long without them. Thanks. Hope you have a great weekend! Sherry

Well... now I am so far out that I eat like a normal skinny person. But I can remember having a hard time finding a protein suppliment that worked for me. I bought at GNC some kind of protein powder that didn't have a taste, color or smell. I mixed it with my food. The texture wasn't great but it was tollerable. I put it in mashed potatoes, grits... stuff like that at first. Then when I was able to eat more I made sure I had my protein first. I love South Beach Diet Cereal Bars. They are great! You will be fine! Keep up the good work girl! Jennifer W.

Welcome to the board - this board meets typically every month for lunch or dinner so watch for information about the next gathering. I believe it's Nov 11th. We're meeting at Jillian's in Gwinett so it will be lots of fun! Glad you found us! Dee Dee 350 / 172 / 165
