LOL i didnt think a few years would matter for a multivitamin... glad to see you think the same. Guess i never thought about turning fifty until i seen de darn vitamin box LOL  somehow the childrens chewable multi-vitamin  didnt seem appealing as the more mature on LOL anyways im all set whenever i need them...there wasnt too many chewable ones..and the vita-min ones seemed to have a dextrose n i thought hmmm, thats sugar i don't need.

As for the protein powder, I know my sister-in-law uses it for shakes in the morning...she was the one who suggested using greek yogert for it's higher in protein....so another thing i will have to give a try. I didn't get the name of what she uses though....probably will ask. Also a friend of mine's daughter is into the protein shakes as well and she gets hers at a gym......thought id ask here first.

Seen them into walmart the other day...so many of them... i imagine one looks for low sugar content. I know i have splenda and stevia to sweeten it if needed. just will be nice to know of what others use so im not getting something not so good.

Just thought i would ask everyone what brand of protein powder you use. I thought i would ask before venturing into uncharted territories lol...n too it's nice to know what ones are better..tasting etc etc before spending big money.

Also, i decided to start a multi-vitamin...get into the habit etc ..n i seen centrum forte on sale at walmart so i bought it. Was wondering what everyone else takes. I picked up the centrum chewable to have it...although it says 50+ ...im short a year n half lol but is this the one others used?

thanks so much for your kind words livelifeagain

One thing i have seen in the last few weeks is through me getting on the band wagon with my health it has spurred others around me with theirs...so just because you may have no experiences concerning the WLS to share, i know that just basic dealing with everyday issues that we all deal with is something i know you understand....and any tips that has helped with you is as of just as much importance. 

Waiting to hear is excruciating. I know when i had my first referal to Dr Klassin over 2 years ago..... i did give up... and when my second referral went in in sept last year...i didnt think i would ever hear. when i in fact called and heard of the wait...i could have given up again for it was frustrating hearing them say...well i could go to truro to get my hernia fixed...well hell i was told they couldnt do it in truro. i knew she had no way of knowing the seriousness of my situation but it wasnt until december when the receptionist at my doctors office got on the phone n kept calling and pushing that she resent the referrals and they finally said they would call the first of the year. I feel so sad concerning the wait some have... I know i still havent a date yet but i do have one visit in with dr ellsmere which is more than some.... my heart goes out to all waitin.

Food has been my friend for so many years...filling that hole whenever the emotional wind****when i think of the years with my head in the sand....and it took my husband being sick to wake me up....how sad..... but ... i know that it will also keep me on the path of healthiness remembering this....and too surrounding me with people who support me in my journey...i know will only result for the better. 

This last week has been so busy on working on walking, lifting weights, socializing etc...i miss home and my computer lol  but all these new changes are for the better...and i know eventually i will get into some sort of organized routine to fit more things into the run of a day.
