Hi - I'm using Unjury shakes - they told me to only use whey isolate and unjury is a really good grade of protein - it blends really well - I have unflavored, vanilla and chocolate - I have been trying all different flavors to change it up - like mixing chocolate protein with a tablespoon of SF Butterscotch pudding - or vanilla with SF Cheesecake pudding - I also got some general food international SF instant coffee - I had some decaf coffee the other day and it tasted pretty good.
How many grams of protein are you getting in a day? I'm supposed to get 100 - and come close to it or meet it almost every day

Topic: RE: optifast
I know Dr. Raftopolous has his patients on optifast for a pre-surgery diet - but doesn't recommend it for post surgery.
Why are you looking ot opti-fast and not just using a good quality protein shake?
What kind of food are you eating? Are you exercising? Are you portions getting bigger or are your food choices just not the great? In other words - do you know the source of your gain?
Good for you to catch it before it gets more the 20!!
Best of luck to you

Hello!
I had my rny gastric bypass 5 1/2 years ago and I went from a high of 296 to low of 217! This morning I got on the scale and it read 237.8! Yikes! Up 20 pounds! I know this is how I got in trouble in the beginning! I certainly do not look forward to diabetes, knee pain and high blood pressure again.
Does anyone know where I can find Optifast (again?). Also, I had my surgery at Bridgeport Hospital which has since stopped it's program. I know Dr Tran moved to Virginia, but does anyone know what happened to Laurie Jordan RD? I called and she is no longer at the hospital. She was great!
Also, does anyone know of any support groups in the Bridgeport-New Haven area?
Peace,
David K

Tammy, I am so glad that you are doing better. It is normal to feel "run down". Remember you recently had major surgery and you are taking in a greatly reduced amount of food.
Sounds like you are doing great.... keep sipping!
All my best

Glad to hear you are doing well. I will be 3 week on Monday. So far so good for me too. You must have read my mind on the avacado and chicken salad. I tried that for dinner tonight and it went down easily. I do have the run down feeling and think I need to review my vitamin intake.
What protien shakes are you using? I just don't like the taste post surgery. Today I also tried my frst cup of coffee and that didn't taste quite right either.
Things are changing but I think it's for the better.
Since you are so close we should meet some time - for coffee?

Yes, I would call the main Plastic Surgery number (203) 785-2570 to see about the residency program. I heard that most of the services run about $3-4k each. I know that is not cheap, but its less than what the others offer.
