Life is a risk when we are obese. In my case I was 55 and weighed 377 lbs. If I didn't do something I WOULD die. It was worth the risk to me. I encourage you to read lots of profiles, before and after photos, look at life now. Do you want it better?I think the balance definitely tips towards the "good" than the "bad". Hard not to be worried; I was anxious but at almost 6 years post RNY I would do it again in a heartbeat.Best wishes,

Ok I had a melt down and posted in haste/panic about a Nutritionists who takes Medicaid in Spokane Wa. After a day of waiting for phone calls from Nutritionists. I have obtained information to help not only myself but, others who need that information.....

I have to throw in a plug for Syntrax Nectar.  It is the most amazing protein drink I've tried.  It's like drinking crystal light, mixes right into water (even chilled), and is sugar free.  There are 23g of protein per 90 calorie serving and at least a dozen flavors to choose from.

I mix the fuzzy navel flavor into an orange or fruit punch vitamin water after an intense work out to recover.

Seattle Super Supplements sells Nectar on the cheap!

If you choose rice protein, go with Mediclear.  It is by far one of the healthiest protein powders on the market.  You get all of your needed vitamins, minerals and omega fats with their blend.  Mix it with orange juice and it tastes a little like a creamsicle. 

Vega is good too, but it tastes like butt. =)
