Need a vanilla bestie? I'm the same size basically. Still pre surg.but my goal is 175 lbs size 14-16 and neither my Dr Miller nor anyone on Bariatric Pal has said that's unfeasible. Big commitment,but I'm up for it Sent from my VS880PP using BariatricPal mobile app

GeorgiDean, I've lived a long time(72 years) and although I am a very nice person there is a little niggling thought inside. Maybe your surgeon sends his patients there first to gauge their commitment to t he whole weight loss process. Sent from my VS880PP using BariatricPal mobile app

Oh Fluffster thanks for downloading my man Ricky Nelson and my favorite of all time songs. Its all right now I've learned my lesson well- now sing the last line with me! I didn't cry when the Big Bopper et all died but I cried 3 days at Ricky's death. Ah the injustice of it all, like a shooting star HE WAS GONE. Sent from my VS880PP using BariatricPal mobile app

Hi Patricia Holland I just saw your post. My grand father in law was from North Holland, great grand mother in law Freislander. My FIL never taught my late husband the language, they must have been too eager to assimilate into the US. Don't worry about your written English-language, I have been trying to,learn basic Dutch, there is no one left of the older generation to teach me. I even had trouble pronouncing gadaan. I wanted to learn because it is a part of my children and grand-daughter's ethnic heritage. I wish I could have met Opa and Oma. I shouldn't be over here although I too will,be having weight loss surgery I will have a RnY in March. I just wanted to welcome you to Bariatric Pal.

Some of these dieticians and nutritionists must have taken a semester course in mean and nasty. I'm sure you aren't sentenced to a lifetime of mush and gruel. There are too many things in this life that are colorful, tasty, full of vitamins and minerals and have a texture. As one small,example,i like to nuke a small sweet potato in the microwave, split it open like you would a baked white potato and have at it. And it is a good source of vitamins.

Probably depends on your state. Rulings are not always uniform. Yes Medicaid. Does approve but it does depend on your comorbities and probably your BMI also. Were you at this weight when you started? Say you were 270 at the start even if you went down to 250 it would still be okay. Hopefully your surgeon or some of his staff know where to tweak things for the maximum benefit for you. Good luck,on your weight loss journey. Sent from my VS880PP using BariatricPal mobile app

Alas that will have be my first choice, I am violently allergic to chocolate. Is the banana and cream good? Also have you tried the plant based Vega, Wal-Mart has it in vanilla.? Sent from my VS880PP using BariatricPal mobile app

Mrs Gamgee I just met a new bari-friend and maybe you' d like her too. Her name is Lesliebari, lives in the BC Rockies and b will,have, hers somewhere on the coast, I'm guessing maybe Vancouver. Now to remember what thread she was on? Oh pafizzle, I'll go searching and see if I can find it. Sent from my VS880PP using BariatricPal mobile app

I have had multiple surgeries, like others have said it's smooth, quick and a deep sleep sensation.,i remember a few times being asked to count,backwards. My last time "out" was for my EGD in December. I was laying on my side, IVd, with warm blankies on, I said Hi Dr Mujtaba to my gastroenterologist, nice to see you, the next thing I knew I was waking up in the Ambulatory Care Center room and my procedure was over. Other surgeries I remember waking up in recovery cold and slightly disordinated but I always had nurses and surgical techs,to watch over me, I felt protected,and even loved, like I was the most important patient in the world. Although nothing something you would want to do everyday it's not THAT BAD. Sent from my VS880PP using BariatricPal mobile app

Wslmart has a plant,based shake called Vega, haven't found anyone who has tried it,but I would guess,there would be no whey in it. Sent from my VS880PP using BariatricPal mobile app
