Tom, Thanks for the advice. I used to use Champion Whey Stack - it was the only one I could really stomach but after 3 years of drinking it 3 times a day it got old. I'm going to order a bunch of samples and see how it goes. Wish we had a live meeting we could have a protein party! lol. You...

You know, I'm thinking I may need to go to another forum because I'm 7 years out and not a newbie. Hope you guys don't mind my haunting the board - I have trouble sleeping. Here are a few things I think you need to do when you start this journey. 1. Get a BIG binder and keep all your test...

Hi, Yeah, the gas is horrible when you first get out. Are you by any chance using any milk products? I found that after surg. I was lactose intolerant - I'd get horrible gas pains. Have you tried Beano? You take that before you eat and it's more preventive. I'm not sure how that would be for a...

Hi, New to the site and hoping to find fellow "graduates". Need to get back on the ball as far as protein, vits, meds, exercise, etc. Would love to find a group that I could bounce ideas off of - I sometimes find myself educating doctors about the procedure and the issues that have come up...
