Hi Jill.

Welcome to LBT and the begining of your wonderful journey. I'm in Bakersfield and was banded Nov 07.

Hi,

In the begining, I ordered Isopure protein drinks from GNC, they are fruity like and they don't taste half bad, and come in 4-5 flavors. I also bught EAS chocolate [protein mix from costco, the flavor I could handle. I sometimes drink Low carb slim fast when I am on the run or out of town. I don't drink any other slim fasts becasue they are low in protein and high in sugar, which isn't good for diabetics. Recently I went to DS Nutrician and bought Myolean, peanut butter cup flavor. I dont care for it as much but I can tolorate the flavor. I did pick up some great protein bars. Power crunch, peanut butter fudge and supreme Protein that is awsome. Gerry is great there he is so knowledgeable and will answer any questions you have.

I need to really start exercising more, with this hot hot weather I have been slacking off.

who's doing your surgery?

I am having it done in West Hills by Dr Sergey Lyass. They are opening an office in Bakersfield, but I didn't want to wait. I am heading to GNC this weekend. Where is DS Nutrition I haven't heard of that

DS Nutrition is at 4701 White lane.

I am looking for a fill DDr as my fills cost $350.00 right now and I have great insurance but my Dr bills out of network and insurance wont cover it when they bill that way. So hubby is like, find a new Dr so we can use this insurance.
