  1. Hello I am new to the thread. I guess I am considered a 'lightweight' but I sure don't feel like it. My high weight was 220, just a tad below when I went to join the program. My BMI was 35 as I am 5' 5 1/2. I have lost 15 lbs down to 205 on the medically supervised dieting for the last six months. I have to say, that taking six months to do this has worn me down considerably. I feel like all I do is jump through hoops. Psychologist, 6 months supervised dieting, nutrition classes and appointments, more nutrition appointments, sleep study, gastric emptying study. Enough already! I am tired. I just want to do this! I have a follow up with the sleep doctor and my final visit with my primary for the medically supervised diet this week. Then next week one more appointment with the nutritionist and the bariatric nurse practioner. Then HOPEFULLY they will submit for insurance approval. I have been at this since February and I'm so ready to just do this! Did anyone else get worn down by the time they got approved? I'm trying so hard on the diet, and only lost 15 lbs in six months in spite of a 1500 calorie a day diet and working out an hour a day. I really need this sleeve!

    Protein shake recommendations

    I get mine from www.mercola.com The whey is made from GMO free, antibiotic free, hormone free, free range grass fed beef. no artificial anything. If you are lactose intolerant, he also carries a vegetarian pea protein, but I have not tried it. I get the chocolate, but I think this time I am going to order the three pack that has strawberry, vanilla and chocolate. I've been told that Unjury has a good unflavored protein powder, but I haven't tried that one yet.
