Ok. I have had enough. I called the doctor. He says he has never had a patient that had a whey protein allergy. I am faced with switching to a soy protein which the girl at GNC says is grainier and she doesn't like it because of that. She refused to grade it on taste. SO...if I can't deal with that for 4 more weeks do I cancel my surgery? He is so particular about the liquid part and the fact that it had to be high protein so my hair won't fall out. I get no other options from him. I took a break today just to get my digestive system back in order. Now towards the end of the day I am starting to feel better. I have to taste the soy tomorrow. I won't get back to town until two days before my surgery but I think I will get an appointment to talk with him at length about my options after surgery. Tell me this is the most miserable part. Tell me I will not regret this. Today is the first time since I made the decision to have the lapband that I have doubted my resolve. The scale says I have lost no more weight but then I am so bloated with gas that who knows. :smile2:

It is so beautiful and peaceful in the NC mountains. I don't want to go back to Texas. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE Texas and I don't think I could ever leave permanently. but to be away from the heat for at least part of the summer is the best.:thumbup:
