"Every morning I've followed the same routine. Glass of chocolate milk made with skim milk and the Walden Farms Chocolate Syrup and then coffee with a South Beach Cereal Bar. The chocolate milk is great and the milk, coffee and SB bar add up to 21 gms of protein. A tasty delight and good amount of proteinto start the day."
"I was paying $4.15 for a venti iced coffee with Sugar Free Carmel Syrup. It finally dawned on me that I could do this myself. If brew a pot of decaf coffee so it counts for my liquids. let it cool, add half and half (I won't give it up) and the DaVinci Sugar Free Carmel Syrup. For an extra treat you can pour a glass and and Sugar Free Cool Whip or Regular Whipped Cream if cholesterol is not a problem for you. It is divine!!"
"Dr. Lalla took the time to explain the procedures he would be doing, including the risks and benefits. On the two occasions I called him with questions in the first few post-operative days he called back within an hour. He was very receptive to suggestions I made that I felt would help others who had significant weight loss and were now going through other body image changes."
"Pay attention to the questions they ask you. There were several problems with my history. The anesthesiologist told me I had a history of frequent bouts of pneumonia which was not true. One of the nurses asked how long I had my pacemaker; I don't have a pacemaker. On three occasions they told me my glucose levels; I am not diabetic and my glucose levels were not checked. My first meal tray came with a gold colored napkin; it fell to the floor and there it remained until I was discharged about 36 hours later. The napkin is not a big deal, just a comment that no one came to mop the floor in all the time I was there. "
