Hi everyone...

Being three weeks post-op I have have tried my share of protein shakes and powders. I also know they can be pretty expensive if you buy something that you like one day...and don't the other.

I have several things I would like to give away to someone who could really use them. I have a few protein sources that didn't sit right with me and I would hate for them to go to waste...especially when they could work for someone else!

If you are in CT (either local to me in Norwich) or on the other side..I could either meet you or ship it to you. It wouldn't cost that much..and honestly I paid good money and do not want it to go to waste.

I have a list. It could go to one person..or I don't mind splitting it up between two.

Money is tight for everyone...just doing my part 

1lb bag of GNC Pro Performance (resealable)
Unflavored
Two scoops missing
21g of protein a scoop.

1lb bag of GNC Pro Performance (resealable)
Vanilla
Two scoops missing
21g of protein a scoop

GNC Pro Performance 50 Grand Slam (please note, this is currently refrigerated)
Very Vanilla
Unopened
50 grams of protein a can

4 Atkins Advantage Shakes (please note, these are currently refrigerated)
2 Vanilla and 2 Strawberry
Unopened
15g of protein a box

I hope I can help someone out. If you don't want to reply in the thread, feel free to send me a message!

Update: Everything has been promised.

Thank you.

Hi,

My name is Yasna I had gastic bypass surgery with Dr. Crum almost 6 years ago.
My lowest weight was 165 but at a size 9/10 I was fine with this....now getting close back to 200 and I am freaking out. Ive gone to 2 support groups already which were great but I was hoping to find more friends on here or even the ones that were at the NORWALK HOSPiTAL support groups..

I dont know what else to do... I have a 2 year old son and I am pretty busy but i need in invest some time on myself before i go to 300 again!

Good, it was meant to be a joke.

I did have Dr. Bell~he is an incredible surgeon!  He has support groups the first Tuesday of every month...at 6PM in the basement of his Temple Street office...and he attends all the meetings...the meetings are for people with questions...I can understand your worry about the process starting over...it took me 22 months from start to finish...but my life has changed so much!!  pu**** with Dr. Bells office...you will not be disappointed!

Hi Lois!

I work at St. Francis Hospital and Medical Center (SFHMC) in the Anesthesia department AND I'm a patient of Dr. Raftopoulos.  Prior to becoming a Dr. R patient, I did research on all the well-known doctors in CT, some in MA, NY, PA, and even OH. 

I decided to go with Dr. R. because of his reputation, the fact that he publishes all of his statistics, and the fact that his pre-op testing is so thorough.  He stated in his information session, "I may do more testing than other physicians, but I don't like surprises."  He wants to know about every single system in your body and how well it's functioning.  Once you meet him, it's clear that he is proud of the work he does and that he truely wants to help his patients. 

That said, yes, he does more RNY than anything else.  I'm not sure about the DS, although during his information session I believe he did say he does perform them.

Hope that helped some!
