Hi everyone! I am from Dover, DE and having bypass surgery on Wednesday with Dr. Singh from CHRIAS. I went through the Bayhealth Bariatric program and they were wonderful! I started my journey in April with my first seminar. I am so glad to have had the time to attend nutrition meetings and support group. If anyone is interested, there is a support group mtg at Bayhealth the first Wed evening each month at 5:30pm. Two more days!! Hopeful for a good experience. I will post later this week!!

Another good brand is Nectar. They even have flavors like iced tea that mixes clear and aren't milky.

It does not have any protein taste at all. It provides 27g per scoop. I use one scoop with 16oz water, 2 squirts of Maxwell houses iced coffee drops (similar to Mio) and a few ice cubes and shake it up. I usually make it first thing in the morning and let it sit in the fridge while I get ready for work. It's the only way I get my protein in first thing in the morning since I'm not a breakfast eater.

Yes! I like Unjury unflavored protein powder mixed in my iced coffee. It dissolves well with no lumps.

Hey everyone! I have been a forum 'stalker' for several months now, but never posted. I began my pre-op process back in April and my last NUT appt is Sept 1. I am scheduled for final PC doc appt on Sept 10th, then my pre-op visit with the surgeon is week of Sept. 14th. As of now, I am "penciled in" for surgery the week of Oct. 5th. I am very excited to see the light at the end of the tunnel....what a long process of doctor clearances and appointments!! Half way through my process I had to switch surgeons, which was a blessing in disguise. My new surgeon has recommended RNY Bypass instead of Sleeve. I have high blood pressure, high cholesterol, sleep apnea and borderline diabetes. After much research and reading and even a few youtube videos, I realize that I have metabolic syndrome and SOOO ready to fix this!! Recently I have had pain in my feet that really slow me down. And started noticing a 'clicking' in my right knee when I walk. So my body is telling me that it is definitely time to change! I do have one question.....how much time off of work are you all expecting to take? My surgeon suggests 3-4 weeks. I have an office job and sit in front of a computer most of the day, and have the ability to pack my meals for the day, so I was hoping to only take 3wks including my hospital stay. MV

How many people attend this support group meeting? I started attending the monthly meetings at Kent General as a pre-op. Always looking to meet others who have been through the process.
