I would love some! I am preop and testing them!

Sorry to hear of her complications! Does she post here? There is a section for those with complications and maybe knowing she isn't alone will make her feel better.

That is just how Nectar labels and what they consider a "serving." Always good to check serving size - they do vary!

I am going to have an egg white omelet tomorrow

I was just wondering about MRI's - good to know!!

Tanita is a very good brand, I have owned 2 - bought a second one because the first only weighed in .5 increments so I bought one that weighed in .2. I have had the first one for around 8 years and second one for about 6 years and both are still going and accurate. BTW, this is the brand that weight watchers uses.

great idea to put it in it's own thread! I sure won't be buying an EAS!!

here is the email I got from them on how to order We are currently offering a one time only, limit one per person special on the nectar ‘Variety Sampler’ containing 13 full serving packets of the following flavors: Apple Ecstasy, Caribbean Cooler, Crystal Sky, Fuzzy Navel, Lemon Tea, Pink Grapefruit, Roadside Lemonade, strawberry Kiwi, Twisted Cherry, chocolate Truffle, Strawberry Mousse, vanilla Bean Torte and Latte Cappuccino.

www.mybariatricpantry.com has Soups with Protein - haven't had them but they look good! http://www.mybariatricpantry.com/Pantry_Selections_From_MyBariatricPantry_com_s/40.htm

I just had my 4th month of the MSWL visit. I am hoping to be submitted in July.

how long do you cook it? I bought egg whites today - this sounds so easy and filing!

Love it! Congrats on your loss so far!!

My program has us take Bariatric Advantage brand chewable and the Multi vitamin is the one with ADEK in the name. We also have to take calcium, b12 and iron I believe. I haven't started them as I am preop. They have a kit set for our program on their website so we just have to select the flavor or the type of calcium. We can take capsules after 3 months I believe.

I will be interested to hear any answers you get. Have you tried adding it to anything else? I have only tried it with decaf coffee with cream and although I could smell it I couldn't taste it. (pre-op sampling )

Thank you so much for sharing!

Congratulations! I am in Central IL so not too far away - I am hoping to have mine by August!

Angelah and Amanda - I subscirbed to you both - I am karibrenmom on youtube!

Someone had posted a link to a list of high protein foods in the last few days - maybe try that?

take a sample pack of protein mix with you or even a baggy of a scoop - you can get water on the plane and mix it then.

vicki - are you on facebook? there is a facbook group Gastric Sleeve Support Group maybe you could post there too?

I have been thinking of making a list of things I tend to think I won't be eating after surgery and the week before my pre-op having the top 5 things on my list. I am doing WW right now so I don't want to be bad now!

I voted too! And it looks like we can vote each day? Can we tell who has the most votes?

awesome NSV's!! What a reward!

Some doctors just aren't people persons. If you believe in his ability then I say stick with him. I can tell you I saw the counselor, dietitian and physical therapist before I met my doctor, loved them all, lots of encouragement from them. People kept telling my my Dr was rude but when I finally met him he was very nice. His PA came in first and answered most of my questions but then when he came in he went over things again. Honestly, at that point, even if I hadn't liked his personality I would not have changed programs because I know the important people for my journey were nice and helpful. I will see the dietitian much more often than him and she will be the one who helps me work to get where I want to be with my weight loss, as well as the physical therapist. Something to think about!

I think I will tell people the same about portion control, etc but think we could get away with my stomach has gotten smaller? hehehe!! I have told my mom, husband, kids, a few friends, sister in law and I work from home so with any luck the fact that work people only see me once a month at the most they will not see the week by week things. If they ask though, I will tell them. My biggest thing is explaining the sleeve - lap band and RNY have a big stigma of failure around here so I don't want them thinking I had those!
