unflavored protein powder

I really like the Quest products. They sell packets so you can just try it out before buying a huge container. -

I'm in Torrance. My sleeve was done in Harbor City and my bypass is next Tuesday also at Harbor City. I'm familiar with West LA though, my sister had her sleeve done in West LA a few years ago. -

Worst things people have said to you or behind your back regarding surgery
Norma Galitzen replied to Nickkibear24's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
He gave me the pre op diet 3 weeks before surgery. I lost 12 pounds total and I cheated a few times. I did get weighed in right before surgery and he was happy that I had lost. I don't know if he would have stopped the surgery if I did not lose any weight. Just don't gain!!! Get on track and stick with it from now until surgery. -

Norma Galitzen replied to Nickkibear24's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hi Nickkibear, the surgery is for you! Many of us got to out of control weights because we were not putting ourselves first. By the way, it looks like we have the same surgeon!! Dr. Mun rocked it out for me. -
5 days out and all I want is a bm
Norma Galitzen replied to ambwolfe's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I used the gentle Dulcolax for sensitive tummies (the pink one). I took 2. Be prepared to stay home for about 6 hours at least. I only had to take it once, that got everything moving. -

No but it sounds reasonable that they would be elevated. Just rest and relax. I wouldnt have minded an extra day! Good luck. -

Yikes be careful! I know I picked up a heavy bag today out of habit to get it out of the way then I was like oopsie! We must be careful so we can heal properly! Glad you are ok. -
I don't know what to do.
Norma Galitzen replied to mrh1282's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Something is stopping you but something is also keeping you going back. it is a scary decision but everyone who I know, including myself, who is newly sleeved, is glad they did it. I still have not (personally) met someone who said they wish they would have passed. Maybe see a therapist to help you sort out some thoughts and feelings? I did. -
Help! Just had surgery...
Norma Galitzen replied to xrayyoung22's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I only felt seriously nauseous the second day and slight waves here and there over day 3 and 4. My sisters driving me home from the hospital did not help. I only took my at home pain meds one time when it got unbearable and I got a pounding headache. Good luck.
