Topic: RE: Monday Menu for LWs

You have probably learned what protein coffee is by now. I received a message yesterday that someone was asking a question. I quit posting here because i wasn't getting any responses.

Protein coffee is a cup of coffee with protein powder added. You must mix the protein powder with a liquid such as water, creamer, half & half, milk, etc. If you add the powder to the hot liquid, it will clump. You can also make iced coffee.

Hope this helps.

Hey Jeff,

Are you local to St Louis? I live in South City and I'm two years out of my DS. Welcome back to the boards and I hope you continue to improve from your stokes.

Topic: I didn't realize....
Dear Friends,
I looked up this site again after much time because I had been in and out of the hospital from a series of strokes for the past year and a half. My WLS numbers still look fine and I only have a slight speech problem and some tics. You LW's are great people and I hope to hear from you. Oh and I have CRS or I Cant Remember Stuff. Anyway I didn't realize it's been so long.... Your friend, Jeff

Topic: RE: VGS with BMI 35
David, It sounds like you and I had about the same body issues. I had a DS/BPD 8 years ago, I lost the weight and am maintaining at weight since 6 months after surgery. Results for WLS vary greatly as I have observed and people get upset when they have to work hard to maintain. My sleeve was about the size of a banana and it has stretched some to about 12-14 oz size. I indeed had co-morbs so I opted for the DS. And the BPD hooked up my pancreas separate from the common channel. Because my stomach was very large and the Small Intestine so long I absorbed every oz of food I ate and I ate a lot! Dr. Anthone the surgeon made the call on common channel and I must say it is perfect as I take in with regular eating habits everything I need in Vitamins and protein

DS/BPD 5/10/2010
Common channel: 250cm
BPD: 500cm
Total length before surgery: 755cm
