I too am an orthodox jew from Maryland. Got banded on 1-21-08.

These support sites are great, always make me feel much better when I am contiplating eating something bad.

I am a frum female from ny. I am apatient of Dr. Ren @ nyu. I would imagine there are a lot of frum people on this site based on the patients I see in their waiting room. Anyway, maybe someone should just start a new thread on the main page for frum people.

There never seems to be enough of us to keep it going. I'm being banding on April 30, and I'm off all foods that bother me, so matzah is included. I'm not asking how much.....I found a friend for first night who supports me and won't bug me to eat what makes me ill. That goes for hte grape juice also. In general however, other than issues on Yom Kippur, health comes before anything. Don't worry about it.

Does anyone know of a good Kosher (dairy or parve, of course) whey or egg based Protein supplement? My son needs to increase his calories (I should have such problems) and was told to take Protein supplements. Unfortunately, none of the standard brands in the grocery stores have heksures (did I spell that correctly????) and he doesn't want to depend on only soy products.

Thanks in advance for your help.

I've been told by someone who did the reseach, that most of these products are Kosher by but most don't go for the hecksher.

My view is different. It's medicine- it's medically required. As such it falls outside the usual kashrut standards unless you are extremely "darti" in which case you probably wouldn't find anything to use.

For myself, I believe health come first.

My advise for other is (always), consult your Rav if you live by one.

Best,

Gwenn

      It has hit me today, as I sit in my chair at work that I don't have my belly sticking out to where it would hit the desk. Oh and I can cross my legs more comfortably. It amazes me just how much I have loss in inches vs actual pounds, I have lost 24 lbs all together. But I believe in inches all over about 3 inches. I am noticing more energy and have pep to my step. My skin is a lot clearer. My watch band is shorter by 3 notches. the little things are what I am noticing. When I bend over I don't feel out of breath or I am going to fall over ( weeble wobble). 
      I am having a hard time with my sweet tooth, it is very hard to not want to get some ice cream or chocolate. Candy I can do without. I have no craving really for that, just chocolate and ice cream. I have gone as far as taking Popsicle and putting them in my mixer with almond milk and making like ice cream with that/ sometimes I have added un-flavored protein powder. 
      I feel better everyday. The energy is great to have with having younger kids and being able to have the energy to keep up. 😃

      If anyone has any advice on how to make your stomach feel better after you eat something you shouldn't have or at too fast, I would GREATLY appreciate it!! It's painful on both sides of my abdomen (like to the point I'm doubled over and using a hot water bottle in addition to medicine) and I'm really nauseous (the thought or smell of food is 🤢).
