The gladiator protein powder from smoothie king
EllaJo posted a topic in Protein, Vitamins, and Supplements
Has anyone used the gladiator protein powder from smoothie king? I was wondering how people are liking it or not. I'm 3 days post op and I'm struggling to get my minimum of 80 grams of protein l... The gladiator had 40grams per serving so I was thinking of getting it for the high protein content. -

How bad does it hurt when YOU cough?
EllaJo replied to taylormarie421's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

I haven't tried it yet. I don't want to buy one when I know I won't be able to finish even the kid size... I hate to waste money... If you try it let me know! -
I went yesterday for my first post-op appointment... I am also losing about a pound a day! In the words of the nurse, "you are really knocking those pounds out" I was so excited to hear those words! Also congrats to you on your weight loss!

The secretary at my job is THE only one that questioned me. She was just totally negative..which is nothing new since she's always negative. I straight up told her," if I could have lost the weight any other way I would have by now... And it's my decision. Thank you for your concern, but I'm going to ask you to respect my decision." She simply said alright and we haven't spoken about it since...

It depends on your insurance. I had a required 6 months of NUT visits. From the time I was approved it was 2 days and I got a date. My date was 6 weeks from the day they called to tell me my date. Dr. Richardson was my surgeon. If you new anything feel free to shoot me a private message... I don't always read through all the posts on the threads. Xoxo

I'm glad y'all are doing well! Today I had some of the juice from the pork n Beans. And oh my it was yummy. I had a little tiny bit of gas pain, but nothing that a gas-x couldn't handle. We are all going to ROCK these sleeves!
