I go to the one at Methodist Hospital off of Beckley and Colorado Ave. They have one every 3rd Tuesday of the Month from 6p-7:30pm in the Weiss Auditorium. Great place to ask questions of people who have had surgery as well as bariatric nurses that attend. Anyone who has had surgery or is going to and their families are welcome to attend and it's free.

You can post a link that shows Yes Whey contains collagen-based protein or is this your opinion (you said "likely").

Were you planning on going to/have you been to any of the support groups in the area? I went to my first one at Methodist last month, planning on going to the one this month as well.

Howdy from Forney, Dallasgal!

Ask your doctor but it should be safe as long as you're not trying to carry it!

Prayers sent for you, please check in when you can.

I am a big fan of the GNC AMP Wheybolic Extreme 60 chocolate - it's the best tasting Protein Drink I've found using just Water. Add milk and it's amazing! I've also found that I don't like ANY of the vanilla-flavored protein shakes, no matter the brand. Also, the Syntrax nectar are really good. I'm a fan of the Roadside Lemonade, Caribbean Cooler, and Fuzzy Navel flavors.

My surgery is on the 28th as well and I'm on day 2 of my 2-week preop diet. My surgeon gave me two bags of Bariatric Advantage shakes to live on, I picked chocolate and iced latte. I was told I could blend them with fruit or mix them with milk but not both. I've found with almost every brand of Protein shake that mixing with milk (even no-fat or skim) is better than Water. Good luck to you!

These are a better alternative (and taste a whole lot better): https://www1.bariatricadvantage.com/catalog/group/77102/

That's a lot to have on your plate at once. Best of the best to you in both!

I started at 416, and there are folks here that started higher than me. You are definitely not alone! My surgeon suggested bypass to me as well but I insisted on having the sleeve.

Screen getting blurry over here. So happy for you!

I started mine today as well - 2 weeks, Protein shakes only, fruit blended in OR milk is okay, not both. 64oz Water minimum. Feeling a little tired and week, and waking up with allergies is not helping, but what I want more than anything right now is SOME CAFFEINE!

I think yours is a brilliant suggestion. Something to look back on for encouragement when a person is feeling less motivated.

Just my opinion, but to me it seems the Fitbit Flex is nothing more than an overglorified pedometer. I get more value from my heart rate monitor and it was cheaper.

If you make it to two shots, please post video instead!

Welcome to Onederland!

I was told 60g-80g for females.

I'm in Forney and go to the 24Hour Fitness there on Emporium on weekends - howdy neighbor!

Fantastic - keep up the good work!

I also live in a two-story home and asked this same question. I was told it should be okay but to remember the carry limitations.
