I had my Lapband done in 2006 with Medicaid (NJ) and I guess I was one of the very lucky ones that didn't have to wait much. From the first pone call with the doctors office to the day of surgery was only 3 months with all specialists and requirements in between.

I've read in numerous places people cooking with protein powders (flavored & unflavored). I've also read that cooking protein at high temp will destroy the protein. So you're basically wasting the powder and its doing nothing for you. Any input on this?

Congrats. Fellow Lapbander here, can't wait to get this thing out of me

SAME HERE!!!

Hello ladies, I have no business here but just need to ask a question. My girlfriend and I have been trying to conceive for some time now. Her weight is no help but the main problem is P.C.O.S. (Poly Cystic Ovarian Syndrome). I assume most of you know what it is (given your are all females), if not here is a link explaining what the syndrome is. ( http://womenshealth.gov/publications/our-publications/fact-sheet/polycystic-ovary-syndrome.cfm ) She's leaning towards the RNY to help her weight but recent researching discoveries indicate women getting pregnant after WLS and P.C.O.S not being a factor anymore. Any of you ladies have any input or direct info in regards to this? Any of you have P.C.O.S and have gotten pregnant after RNY?

Apply an ice pack to the painful area of your head. Try placing it on your forehead, temples, or the back of your neck. Take a warm bath or shower; take a nap; or take a walk. Ask someone to rub your neck and back, or treat yourself to a massage. Apply gentle, steady rotating pressure to the painful area of your head with your index finger and/or thumb. Maintain pressure for seven to 15 seconds, then release. Repeat as needed. Rest, sit, or lie quietly in a low-lit room. Close your eyes and try to release the tension in your back, neck, and shoulders. If you have excessive muscle contractions in the neck, it may be helpful to perform physical therapy exercises every day.

Geez no one????

I'm making meatballs with Mashed potatoes. Substituting ground beef for ground Turkey. Throwing in a scoop of unflavored protein powder in the meat as I season it. And a scoop in the potatoes as I mash them. With Greek yogurt to sub the sour cream

If anyone here drinks either or has tried both, which of the two do you guys prefer? http://www.amazon.com/dp/B000W08118/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&colid=2UGN8RF7ZQCEE&coliid=I2Z9GDRRIXPFR http://www.amazon.com/dp/B000UVCIHW/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&colid=2UGN8RF7ZQCEE&coliid=IP3CQZ2NKKEGP

oh wow didnt know they made them greek as well. Never seen them before besides the other light & fit yogurts. Good to know!

My nut told me I need between 90- 100 g of protein daily. My height plays a factor as why so much I was told.

Danon light & fit isnt a greek yogurt. It falls into the regular yogurt category

Currently eating.... Plain Danon greek with half of green diced apple with a shake of ground cinnamon and two teaspoons of creamy Peanut Butter. HOLY SH!+ !!!!! What a treat !!

Awesome! Glad I was able to help while being helped.

I found one by Nature's Best. here the link.... http://www.naturesbest.com/en/powders?product_characteristic=1

Looking for a tasteless whey protein so i can sprinkle some on to my foods. Any suggestions?

In other words...not much difference from the band.

Which do you guys prefer and why?

Does food get stuck with the RNY like it does with the band?
