Let's put a twist on it- Beautiful weather lets go to Lindenwood park.

Bring your own beverage (BYOB) lol

Upper part east of baseball fields, by new park building.

IF it is cold/wet etc.. let's do Luna's as normal.

Hope to see people there!

GNC is another place to buy, spend a bit more but they are usually running a special on something.

Topic: RE: Protein shake recipes
I use nectar chocolate, nectar vanilla bean, and nectar peach for my protein powders. I occassionally will use unjury chicken broth or unjury chocolate also. The chocolate or vanilla bean I mixed with unsweetened almond milk. The peach I mix with cold water and the chicken broth i mixed with ho****er.  Occassionally I will mix some fruit in to the shake, but not very often.

Topic: Protein shake recipes
I am lacking in creativity lately.  Does anyone have a few good protein shake recipes or know of a good place to look for some?  I tend to lean towards the chocolate protein powder.
Thanks,

Topic: Introducing myself
After being on this site for about a month now,  I finally found the ND forum. Lol Anyways, I wanted to say hello to my fellow local WLS peeps. I live in Fargo. I had my surgery at Sanford on Feb. 22, 2012, Dr. Fabian was my surgeon. So far I'm down 47 lbs & extremely excited about my new journey. So far no complications Thank the Lord. Would love to get to know you all & I'll pop in here ever so often. I mainly hang out in the Roux-en-Y forum.

Topic: RE: Revision?
First of all, what are you looking at revising to? If looking at revising from RNY to DS, there are only a few surgeons in the nation that. Second of all, does your insurance have the one bariatric surgery in a lifetime clause. If that is the case, it is next to imposssible to get anything covered with regards to a reviis. Good luck.
