Feb 16th - Ellis Hospital Dr. Panemanglore
I hated the shakes too, but got thru it. I took 1/2 packet vanilla and mixed it with 1/2 cho. I was having terrible diarrhea, so I was allergic to the soy in it, so I had to do slim fast and didnt loose the weight as fast, but got thru it. Find a friend to call...I called Michelle P all the time, she was my saving grace every time I was having a tough day!
I had Dr Clarke at Ellis, RNY on 4/8/08 and have lost 118 lbs. I feel great and you will too. Albany does not require you to do the medifast, but Ellis does, that is the diet prior to surgery so you loose your 10%. Also watch out for the carnation instant breakfast, there is not much protein in it at all. Read up on it here on this site... there is a lot posted about it.
I bet you will do fine...Good luck, and if you need to chat or talk, or just get thru the day feel free to email me, [email protected]. You will find lots of support here. Every day gets better on Medifast, drink it REALLY cold, hey you may like it, my mother did...it didnt bother her at all. Good Luck!!

Hello neighbor!
I just mixed a french vanilla with some pumpkin pudding powder and some allspice. It is not that bad. More pumpkin spice next time would be better. One more week of the shakes then its time. Ellis has been great so far. Very organized. I can't wait for it to be over. 118 lbs! Thats fabulous!
How were your first few weeks after surgery??
Thanks for your email too!
