Thanks for your product idea. I will look into that brand. I am looking for one for when I need that extra protein and for a quick easy breakfast to get my day started.

Certainly appreciate you taking the time to reply to me.

Hope you are having a great weight loss journey and continued success to you.

Have a great day

Shari

I did everything I could to NOT have the surgery, although I was moving ahead with the surgery preparations (Life Skills Class, psych eval and also began seeing a counselor who specializes in disordered eating). I also had diagnoses that I wish I never had to deal with in which the best approach to management was losing a significant amount of weight. When keto/intermittent fasting didn't change things all that much, I moved ahead with my surgery.

Is the commitment you refer to just a commitment to having the surgery? Or is it your wavering on your commitment to the lifestyle changes that are necessary for long term success? Finding a counselor who specializes in eating disorders/disordered eating can make a big difference if that is the case.

Good luck to you as you move forward now with your surgery. Take advantage of every preop opportunity that your program offers.

That's right, but the interesting thing is that it doesn't cause you any addiction, unlike marijuana, alcohol, cigarettes or any of the harder drugs. They're recommended by doctors and they're legal, and I think it's cool. I myself use cbd edibles canada, when I feel bad, especially after working three weeks without a holiday, feel very tense and realize that you need to rest, and CBD helps me.

All protein powder does is help you to get in calories quickly. Unless you need to gain weight eat your protein as food.

Well a few issues that come up that could be related to WLS

*loose skin or PS scars
*not being able to eat much at one time
*not drinking soda or cola or much if any alcohol
*not eating a bunch of crap
*taking supplements. like multi and calcium daily
*having issues related to the WLS like dumping, anemia or hypoglycemia

None are really issues related to dating BUT if you start spending alot of time together or sleeping together it comes up. Great they you have been lucky enough to find someone who loves you just as you are, but not everyone has been so lucky yet. I wouldn't post the info on a dating site, but still they are issues that you eventually need to discuss with someone. And BTW I am 14 years out and yes, it would still come up.
