I met with Dr. Rohrscheib monday (feb. 22) he is very nice and answered all of my questions! I am really looking forward to my lap band experience with him.

Any other patients of Dr. Rohscheib on here?

The support group is at Dr. Sid's office in Champaign. It is the first Thursday of every month 6-7:15 and is run by the nurse practitioner. I think I may skip it though, since I see the doctor today and I have found so much support here on LBT.

Thanks everybody for all your encouraging words and posts!

sleepyone, I live and work in Bloomington/Normal, so I wouldn't be driving to Champaign at night (I get up about 4:30 am!) PLUS, I've found since surgery I'm just exhausted all the time. I'm getting enough protein, I just wonder why I'd be so tired. I drove to Peoria the other day and by the time I got back home, I had to take a 90 minute nap!

PS - I was on another diet (weren't we all at one time?) and used this for a Protein substitute (since I don't eat meat)....

Blend the following 3 ingredients and enjoy - look at the ricotta cheese package to see how much one serving is so you don't overdo, because this is SO yummy! My favorite is pistachio.

1 small container of low fat ricotta cheese

1 package of sugar free pudding, your favorite flavor

a few drops of skim or fat free milk to thin the mixture, if needed...
