Topic: Invite to join NEW GROUP....
Good Afternoon all-
This is a group dedicated in trying to quit refined carbs and sugars for 40 days- it's not about any religion, or faith- other then faith in yourself. We started the group a few days ago and figured that the beginning of Lent was a good lead in for the group. 40 days seemed like a good start- but honestly, IF we can do it for 40, we can do it for 60? 80? 365? for good?
Many of us have started to cheat a little after wls- and the purpose of the group is to help each other deal with the day to day struggle many of us face. There isn't anyone being judgmental- if we eat something we shouldn't- we help each other move on. Think of it as the 'One day at a time' approach.
Anyone/everyone is welcome to join- the only requirement is a desire to try to quit (or at least greatly lower the amount of our intake of) refined sugar and carbs over the next 38 days- and to be active in the group- offer your opinions, your feedback, your suggestions... You have nothing to lose but a few pounds:

Hiya Katherine!!
Consider samples samples samples! www.vitalady.com
Also, on the main page of O.H. there are some banners you can click on for info and samples.
Eventually you'll find your brands and flavors that are "just the thing" and you'll even start craving them! LOL! I can NOT even try to go to sleep these days until I've had a hot chocolate protein drink with s/f Torani peppermint syrup! YUMMO! Nothing says "night, night" quite the same:)
Locally: Wal Mart has protein that is inexpensive. I"ve been told the protein quality isn't as high as the Isopure and Synrax products but as far as flavor....go to Smart and Final and purchase a couple of your favorite s/f syrups (like Steph said) and you can doctor all kinds of proteins to become the best drink in the world.
Check out www.theworldaccordingtoeggfaace.com for oodles of recipes for protein drinks!!!
Good luck!

Topic: RE: Looking for Plastic Surgeon
I have lost 116 lbs and am in the process of finding a PS to do a total body lift. I have had a consult with Dr. Steven Gitt and am thinking of choosing him to perform my surgeries. I would really appreciate talking to someone who knows anything about him. Or id anyone would recommend another surgeon? This is such a hard desicion to make! Any info would be appreciated. Thanks

Congrats on your amazing weight loss! Wooooo Hooooo!
I'd be happy to attempt to answer any questions you may have. I used to work for Dr. Gitt and I currently work for Dr. Mazaheri.
I went to 8 different consults and visited with an additional 3 or 4 when deciding on my own plastics!!! kudos to you for doing research!
Your plastics can be the start of an entirely "new" you or the beginning of a nightmare! It should be the best reward in the world for your weight loss journey!!!!
High Fives!

You can try the Click brand available on line - think you can even order samples. It's a strong Exspresso based drink - I beliee it's a blend.
Matrix has a cappuccino ( sp) - I believe Vitamin Shoppe carries it - or at least they can order it.
A couple things to remember - your taste changes after surgery - you never know what you will like or not like !
** I love the instant coffee sticks from starbucks - add just a touch to vanilla or chocolate protein drinks. it mix's very fast !! also safeway has a coffee stick type product - look in coffee /drink section.
ask for samples whenever possible.

Topic: RE: Protein Options
if u pick up the Torani brand sugarfree syrups you can make any combination of flavors. that really helped me early out.
Topic: Protein Options
I really need help. I am trying several different protein shakes/drinks for my pre/post op period. So far I have not liked too many that I've tried other than some of the vanilla and chocolate shakes but I really wanted more options. I am going to be able to have fruit flavored protein drinks, whey protein isolate, powder or pre-mix and protein bullets. I have already tried the Isopure pineapple/orange/banana flavor and hated it. I was surprised because I like pineappe and banana flavors. I also would like something with a coffee type flavor in it.
Can you provide me with some ideas of products to try? I am really wanting to purchase it at a local store if possible. Thanks in advance for your suggestions!
