Dr Pohl sells the Proti drinks and also the Optifast chewable vitamins.  I was given this web address from a patient in Dr Pohl's office: www.nashuanutrition.com.  I don't use the protein shakes anymore but the woman told me you could order them for a little less than at the doc's office.

Good luck with your move!  I have lived in and out of RI all my life and it's ALWAYS interesting when I come back!!!

Have you tried the 5 day pouch test?  If your pouch is still working, then you can go back to following the rules for using it as a tool?  Forgive my ignorance if this is way off.  I am still in the first year so I don't have any input other than what I have read about from other people struggling.  Whatever ends up happening, I wish you the best!

Some names for you to research in the Providence area:

University Surgical, affiliated with RI Hospital
   Drs. Dean Roye, Beth Ryder, and David Harrington

Drs. Dieter Pohl and Jeannine Giovanni, affiliated with Roger Williams Hospital

There's also a bariatric surgeon at Miriam Hospital with a very long first and last name

I don't know who sells what, but you could find that out as you are researching.

Miriam and RI Hospital are part of the Lifespan network of hospitals, so you could research Lifespan to find out about them.

I'm Dr. Ryder's #1 fan.
