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. Elaine

Hi Elaine, Congratulations on your upcoming surgery? What type are you having? Which hospital and Doctor? I think if you repost this info you'll have folks chiming in! Best wishes, Joan F.

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. Elaine

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!!! Holly
