*** REGARDING PROTEIN ***
This list suggests vitamin and mineral supplementation with a schedule. In addition we suggest that protein needs to be supplemented as well. Since many people struggle to meet their protein needs, the following is our suggestion on how you might address it. We suggest the use of Whey Protein powdered drinks as the  best, most complete and highest bio-available protein supplement source available.
Using protein supplements daily may help with volume control, appetite and craving control, along with meeting your daily protein requirements.
Patients choosing this plan should drink 30 grams of protein four to five (4-5) times a day for a total of 120-150 grams.  For men, two (2) additional protein drinks per day might be considered, as men tend to lose muscle mass quickly.

Thanks Gina!  I just had my labs done and am currently "tweaking" them.  This helps out a lot! 

Still waiting on some of the results, but some my calcium is a 9.2,  my PTH is a 30 and my cholesterol went from 377 pre-op to 106 (low-out of range on their chart).  Oh and my A1C is a 4.3 from a "controlled with meds" mid 8 score.


I'm gonna post all my labs once I get all of the tallies in!

Thanks again!

That calcium and PTH sound pretty awesome right now!

Vitamin C at night because...?

I think she just wants us to get 2,000mg a day.

Anti-oxidant value. place it wherever you want it in your day

Michelle, I sent you some info on my recent labs via email. Did you get it?

I hate to keep waving this around, but I had this cataract surgery 10/29. I have had a coupla the rare complications with it, so one that eye only works sorta part time. Because of it, I didn't do eye #2 yet.

I run back 'n forth to the eye doc while they have fixed the technical problems, I still can't SEE and it's 100 mi round trip.

My eyes have been dilated more times since Oct than my whole life total, I think.

So, I am not here and/or I have so much trouble reading labs that I can't be sure I'm giving you good answers. I did see 'em and I think I culd read 'em but then the power went out.

KWIM? As we speak, I'm nearly 400 emails behind. Gives me heart palps to think of it.

I'm doing the best I can, but for example, what Gina posted is completely unreadable to me right now. Your font is about as small as I can see.

My friend wondered how I could have so many issues with such a simple surgery, but I told her I spent all my surgery tokens on my WLS. LOL
