Supplement to die for; wife is new post op;plea for help

[Guest guest]

WOW Now THERE is an idea for me,,,,,since my Dexa showed Osteopenia (albeit

mild),,,,,,NOW THERE IS A SUPP!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am calling my doc

tommorrow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well,,I might wait awhile,,,,,as in other news,,,,my dear wife just had Lap

RNY 100cm bypass this past Monday at noon, and as of today made a shopping

excursion (a short one) to Walmart cause she was sick of being in the house

and wanted to walk in A/C space. We are in SW Louisiana,,,,,,so with the

heat in the mid nineties right now and humidity that can only be described

as " slimy " this is an essential.

I am proud to say that we tossed the surgeon's nutriton sched and did our

own and she is getting in 80-120g of protein via the Champion Whey Choc

route made with water,,,,,I get em down to the four to six ounce range and

use the braun hand blender to crush and smooth out the crushed ice I

add,,,,it is frothy and while she does not " like " them per se (she will

learn), she knows the necessity. I am very relieved, happy and proud for

her.

On that same vein,,,,I need a BIG favor! Those of you who have access to

nutriton guides that you think have merit (as in recommended by the

operating surgeon) wouldja consider sharing with me? I want to work with

this surgeon, he is especially good and has ears (I saw them). I am still

waiting to see if he read the instruction manual for em tho! I want to try

and compile something that I would recommend for him and will try and work

with is patients in organizing a suppport group as well. I just know it is

essential for anything to be a success IF AND ONLY IF we are on the same

page nutrionlly.

If anyone has something they think has merit, only if a portion of it has

merit wouldja contact me via email and I will either pay any costs of

obtaining it, or shipping etc!

Re: height

An interesting aside to the whole bone density thang........if you're a guy,

testosterone supplementation not only zips up your social life, it makes

your bones more dense. Also, weight-bearing exercise helps a lot. Of all

my tests, I passed my dexascan with flying colors and my calcium

supplementation had been less than stellar.

Just my $.02
