Hi,

In the begining, I ordered Isopure Protein Drinks from GNC, they are fruity like and they don't taste half bad, and come in 4-5 flavors. I also bught EAS chocolate [protein mix from costco, the flavor I could handle. I sometimes drink Low carb slim fast when I am on the run or out of town. I don't drink any other slim fasts becasue they are low in Protein and high in sugar, which isn't good for diabetics. Recently I went to DS Nutrician and bought Myolean, Peanut Butter cup flavor. I dont care for it as much but I can tolorate the flavor. I did pick up some great Protein Bars. Power Crunch, peanut butter fudge and supreme Protein that is awsome. Gerry is great there he is so knowledgeable and will answer any questions you have.

I need to really start exercising more, with this hot hot weather I have been slacking off.

who's doing your surgery?

I am having it done in West Hills by Dr Sergey Lyass. They are opening an office in Bakersfield, but I didn't want to wait. I am heading to GNC this weekend. Where is DS Nutrition I haven't heard of that

DS Nutrition is at 4701 White lane.

I am looking for a fill DDr as my fills cost $350.00 right now and I have great insurance but my Dr bills out of network and insurance wont cover it when they bill that way. So hubby is like, find a new Dr so we can use this insurance.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
