Topic: RE: Gaining weight before surgery
It was 7 months from our consultation and my surgery.  I gained a few pounds and when I asked him he stated it would be better if I lost some of the weight but he never made it mandatory.  I lost 3 lbs.  There does not seem to be much that rattles Dr. Schweitzer.

Topic: RE: Want my opinion on the best protein powders and shakes?
Hello! Well, I'm on a frozen fruit kick right now. I use 4-6 oz milk, 4-5 frozen strawberries (or blue berries, etc). and a scoop of the Max Protein choclatore (or the body fortress vanilla). I'll also include a pump or two of the sugar free flavored syrups, depending on that day's combination. If I dont use frozen fruit, I'll just use 4-5 ice cubes. :)

Topic: RE: BayView...Dr. Anne Lidor?
 She wasnt my surgeon but I know she pissed me off when she checked on me post op.

She told me "now we arent going to go home and crawl in bed and watch American Idiol reruns now are we??!" 

Thats when I told her I dont own TV...she  was kind enough to share that she doesnt let her nanny show her kids TV either...

She totally rubbed me the wrong way...I had dr schweitzer...only seen him for like a grand total of 20 minutes, he seems fine..

Good luck with her...just dont be a lazy fat AI Rerun watcher and you will be fine!! LOL

 I did the same thing...I just had a sleeve done by same doc..I also put on weight in the 6 months prior...he never mentioned it and it was no big deal...I am now down 21 pounds in about 10 days...I have no regrets over any of my last suppers!! LOL...but I was scared to death he was going to XL my operation because i was too fat!

They have no pre-op diet to speak of so I guess they arent too worried! 

Good luck, you will be fine!! 

My gain was also almost exactly 17 lbs since march...

Hi there, I have an off brand magic bullet that I bought a few years ago.  What do you like to mix up in yours?  Meanwhile, I have to search the kitchen for the parts for mine

I am scheduled to have Gastric Bypass on November 16th.  So in the meantime i have been enjoying my food and all the Blizzzard baby showers food.  I havve put on about 17lbs since March when i first went and saw Doc Sweitzer has anyone else had this kind of issue and what is your advice to me??  I go see him tomorrow and actually i am pretty nervous about the weight gain!!
