Need to buy good Scales....any recommendations?
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.

Vitamins!
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.

Looking for unflavored protein powder
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 )

Would you change doctors?
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!

Awkward moment
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!
