Hello all!
I'm soo happy to be here! I finally got my date, March 28. I can hardly wait to be on the loosing side. I am trying to get myself organized before my surgery. I am lactose intolerant, so, I have to be careful with the protein shakes. I've tried the kashi shake which is very good, I mix it with water or soy milk. I would be interested in learniing what others have used with the same problem. Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi Joan, Pleased to meet you. Thanks for your post. I will be having Lap RNY at NSMC Salem campus. Dr Frederick Buckley will be doing my surgery. I feel very comfortable with him. The support available at NSMC is wonderful. I think having a good support system is so important to ones success.

You took the words right out of my mouth!! I too am very excited about my surgery. My surgery date was just set for April 5th. I can't wait to start loosing these miserable pounds. As for the lactose interolerant shakes, I have taken HMR in the past and they have an HMR 70 shake for lactose intolerance that is very good. They have vanilla and chocolate flavors. I have ordered the HMR 800 shakes which were okayed by my nutritionist and which have 16-17 grams of protein each. I wish you all the luck in the world with your surgery and post-op. Keep us posted!!!
