You are so close to providence hospital, have you considered going there? They are a weight loss surgery center of excellence. It was a great experience...

Hi All, I'm really struggling with this & would love some input. I decided to take 2.5 weeks off for my surgery, after announcing my 2 week "vacation" rumors started swirling that I was having Gastric Bypass. Funny thing is -- I'm NOT having Gastric Bypass - ha! ha! and I have told no one about the surgery. I don't feel like it is anyone's business & frankly don't want to deal with all the opinions. Now that I've been off work I've lost 25lbs & the weight I'm sure will start falling off. I still feel like they can talk all they want, but need to mind their own business. Thoughts?

I was at St. John with Dr. Sabir (part of Katz's practice on 1/8....

Yes!!! I was starting to feel like the only one. Today was the first day I was able to finish a 40g protein Isopure. I sipped that darn thing all day. I had a 1/2 a small yogart for Breakfast & the other 1/2 for lunch (8g), and then some broth for dinner. This 60g of protein is impossible

Thanks all for the great insight & dialogue!!! Much Appreciated

That's awesome!! I tend to be sarcastic so I just may say this

Great point! Thanks for your insight....

Thanks everyone good insight! I guess I technically didn't lie. I was asked if I was having Gastric Bypass & said "No"... I didn't have Gastic Bypass, I had sleeve - LOL

I'm the HR Manager so no LOL

Would love to see pics. I'm always looking for formal dresses for work events. Thanks for posting!

Just requested you on MFP -- Heidi

Wow!! You have had such great success. Any tips? I'm in pre-surgical waiting room right now. Trying to take in any tips before I officially start my journey.

Sarah, I'm 5'9"... Good luck tomorrow!!! What's your goal? I'm shooting for 100 lost by August 6th

Sarah, We are sleeve buddies!! I too am 1/8 & around the same starting weight. How tall are you? We may have to have a friendly competition Best of Luck to you!!!

Hi All, I'm fairly new to the boards and just started my pre-op diet today. I will be sleeved on 1/8/12-- whoo hoo!!! I cannot tolerate milk or milky substance things so I knew this whole Protein shake thing was going to be a challenge. So after much research I think I found something AWESOME! The "proteinblitz" by designer whey is brand new & 30g protein, 1carb, 120 calories, & 1g sugar. When cold it tastes like grape kool-aid. Enjoy!! Please share if you've found something you think is "non-milky" and good also.
