I was wondering about this. I have it too and when I mentioned it to my lap band coordinator she acted like I was crazy.

This is. Very inspiring. I'm sure you feel great too.

I use premier protein from SAMs (only place I know of that sells it). For powder I buy Casein gold standard on line. Mixes great with sf oatmeal and comes in variety of flavors. Both of these were recommended by my nutritionist.

3 days postoperative I had to have all of my fluid taken out. I was still bruised and tender from surg and they didn't anesthetize. I'm a nurse and access a lot of ports. We rarely anesthesize. We do have a cream we use on kids with ports but I find that they do just as we'll without it too.

I had my surgery on may 10th. My kids are grown and I wasn't even going to mention it to them but finally with my husbands encouragement I did. they have been very supportive. I only have 2 coworkers that know and I'm ok with that. It's all personal choice. I've been picky about who I've told because people tend to be critical at times and at others they tend to be over supportive. I have lost 32 lbs and when people ask me how I lost it I say "I'm eating healthy and exercising," and I am.

Cool. I'll give this a try. I would be satisfied to not ever receive a fill. But years of yoyo dieting, I worry about loss and regain.
