"I'm not a cliquish person. I hate cliques. However, there is a fairly large one on 3600, the WLS ward. Of my stay, I had one excellent nurse (too bad on my last night, too -- Theresa), and two wonderful techs (Ryan and someone else whom I forgot her name).
This is the training ward for the entire hospital, thus the staff changes on a regular basis as more experienced staff move to different wards. Thus, training was a bit off (I had to wait 11 hours to walk the first time, and 7 hours to walk the next day since a nurse had to "see it"). When I asked for help to clean up a bit, I waited 8 hours before a tech came in and told us that since it was a private room, they didn't help with baths/showers (which turned out to be BS).
However, once some of our issues were made light, the entire administrative staff of the hospital began to notice the issues, and have since begun training on WLS patients, with the promise that more WLS patients will create a WLS-only ward."
"So far, I've only tried the AppleMelon, but it seems ok. Hubby didn't care for it, but it beats having the milky protein all the time. Buy the premixed first and see if you want to invest in buying the powder to make it yourself in bulk. Provides 40g of protein in 20 oz."
"Tried the Choclate Caramel -- HORRIBLE! Tried mixing it with other things to disguise the taste - nonono. If you can stomach it, it has 21g of protein."
