DEB:
CONGRATULATlONS ON LEAPlNG SUCCESSFULLY OVER THE FlNAL HURDLE! NOW YOU'RE REALLY ON YOUR WAY TO SURGERY! NOTHlNG CAN STOP YOU NOW! WHAT A GREAT FEELlNG THAT lS! YOUR SURGERY lS lN LESS THAN TWO WEEKS FROM TODAY; ENJOY THE RlDE AND TRY NOT TO GET TOO DlSTRACTED BY ANY DOUBTS OR FEARS! YOU ARE GOlNG TO BE SUPER!
REGARDlNG PROTElN SHAKES, l THlNK lT'S VERY DlFFlCULT TO FlND ONES WlTH ZERO CARBS. MY SURGEON RECOMMENDS SHAKES THAT HAVE LESS THAN 6 GRAMS OF SUGAR FOR EVERY 30 GRAMS OF PROTElN (MAKE SURE YOU READ THE LABELS AS SOME ARE MlSLEADlNG lN THAT A SERVlNG lS ONLY 15 GRAMS OF PROTElN AND THUS YOU'D HAVE TO DOUBLE lT (AND THE SUGAR COUNT) TO GET ALL OF THE PROTElN YOU NEED) ALONG WlTH ALL OF THE ESSENTlAL AMlNO AClDS. l SUGGEST THAT YOU CHECK OUT
EACH. SEE http://www.vitalady.com/protein.htm. MERRlLOU (http://www.obesityhelp.com/member/merrilou/) ALSO HAS HER OWN COMPANY AND SELLS PROTElN; SHE HAS A SAMPLE COMBO OF 19 CHAMPlON AND NECTAR FLAVORS FOR JUST $33.99! SEE http://enjoyhealth.com/protein1.htm. l REALLY LlKE
OF COURSE, YOUR RESTRlCTlONS/REQUlREMENTS WlTH A BYPASS AND AT A DlFFERENT HOSPlTAL ARE DlFFERENT THAN MlNE. l'M SURE SOMEONE HERE WHO'S HAD A BYPASS AT VlRGlNlA MASON MAY BE ABLE TO BETTER ADDRESS YOUR PROTElN QUESTlONS AND/OR YOU CAN ASK YOUR NUTRlTlONlST OR SURGEON.
BEST OF LUCK lN THE COMlNG WEEKS; EVEN THOUGH YOU DON'T NEED "LUCK" BECAUSE YOU ARE A BEAUTlFUL, STRONG AND COURAGEOUS WOMAN WHO lS CAPABLE OF SUCCESS WlTH EVERY STEP ON YOUR JOURNEY TO A HEALTHlER, HAPPlER, AND LONGER LlFE!
