WELCOME TO OUR HAPPY, LITTLE GROUP, MS DONA! WE'RE ALWAYS EXCITED TO HAVE A NEW WLS FRIEND COME TO OUR THURSDAY NIGHT GATHERING! WHEN DID YOU HAVE YOUR SURGERY & HOW ARE YOU DOING? ANYTHING SURPRISE YOU? DOING OK WITH FOODS & PROTEIN? WE TRULY HOPE THAT THIS IS THE BEST THING YOU HAVE EVER DONE FOR YOURSELF & YOUR HEALTH! GOD BLESS YOU DAWN & NICK

Hi, had my surgery 10/4/05, I'm three weeks out today and I've lost 22lbs. Biggest surprise is how much I wish I had lost weight on my own without the surgery, (don't we all), but I didn't. Getting the protein in is hard because you forget to eat, when you do eat you can't eat much, and for awhile drinking was hard just because I was working so hard on sipping, I find I'm getting better now. Black Bean soup from Med Deli is wonderful as are La Hacienda's refried beans. I also enjoy baked potatoe soup with lots of cheese. I use advantage protein shakes and like them with some extra powered protein, I tried stallones pudding, but the chalky afterfeel doesn't agree with me. I'll try more later. Don't care much for crystal light, but I'm tired of water all the time. A friend made me some homemade chicken noodle soup, run through the blender it was great. Be prepared for lots of head tripping, I've read your posts so I know that you are walking into this with good information, and a good attitude, but just know that the head stuff comes into play, but you can work around it and you certainly do lose weight. I hope to meet you Thursday night.

OH MS DONA, YOU ARE DOING FANTASTICALLY! I HAVEN'T GONE CRAZY BUT I'VE LOST ABOUT 10 #s FROM MY HIGH WEIGHT. I'VE PURCHASED PROTICA PROFECT ... 25g OF PROTEIN IN ONLY 2.7 OUNCES OF FLUIDS. VIOLET, ON THE OCTOBER 2005 BOARD, PUT ME ON TO IT ... PERFECT FOR OUR SMALL POUCHES. I ALSO LIKE MOST OF THE FLAVORS OF ISOPURE & I DON'T MIND THE "DRY" TASTE (MUCH LIKE THE EFFECT OF DRY WINE WITHOUT THE RELAXING AFTER EFFECT ... HAHA). TRY MINUTE MAID LIGHT DRINKS ...
