Have you heard of Geneen Roth? She's a great weightloss motivational speaker. She speaks on the aspects of weightloss dealing food addiction & emotional over eating compulsion. She has some wonderful books & workbooks that have been helping me this past year or so. You can find her website at http://www.geneenroth.com/ you can order her books, workbooks, and video's either off her page or for cheaper on Amazon.com.

Have you tried the Nectar. I know BJ Bariatrics in Carmel, carries this at a really good price. He has sample packs that are very economical so you don't have to buy the 2# tub and then throw it away if you just can't tolerate it. There are several different fruit flavors. I am not fond of the fruitty ones though. I personally like the sweets line and I like the chocolate the best. My husband ( not a WLS person but who has lost about 50# the other way, following my lifestyle change and exercise) only likes Strawberry anything.

I tried all whey protein powder drinks only one i like is Isopure clear fruit drinks. I need to find out if there any other brands out there like those. Need get more protein in.

NSAIDS are bad bad bad. Tylenol, biofreeze (a type of icyhot) and a chiropractor are my tools of choice.
Biofreeze is actually a HUGE help. It's "hotter" than bengay, and comes in a spray, cream, and roll on. 2 spritzes on my necck and I'm good to go all through the night. (it will clear your sinuses too, so if you are afraid of the smell, don't use it hehe)

Do you have a number for this dr? I am very interested! Also do you know if Anthem medicaid pays for the VSG
