Protein Powder - looking for new source and good deals
I need to buy protein powder. I need to try a new flavor/brand because I've overdosed on the one I have. In the past I bought from BJ's Bariatrics but their website is down/out of business. Anyone have any sample/coupons/websites they can recommend? Thanks.

4 months out and losing control
I had my VSG in May and have lost 82 lbs since starting on MFP and beginning the weight loss jourey. I am down 35 before the surgery to qualify and the rest since then. So, I see success. I know that I have lost inches too since my clothes are now too baggy to put up with. I am now wearing clothes for the last time and…

If I knew then........
There usually aren't regrets posted about weight loss surgery. Most of us don't have any, but I do. I now feel as if I sold myself out in the beginning. Mistakenly thinking that surgery would be the answer for me. I didn't research the way we should eat post op, other than the few weeks following surgery. I know now that a…

Am I the only guy in this group?
Hello everyone. I got my surgery on November 4th and have not regretted it at all. I have been losing weight a little slower then I expected, but it's still coming off. I joined this group to see what others are experiencing and to see if I could help anyone else along the way. I look forward to talking with you. --- Bob…

Starting the Process
Hi! I am new to this group, however, I must confess, I have been 'lurking' for a few weeks as I waited for my first appointment to begin the surgical process. The things that I have read on this board has been very enlightening, to say the least. I started researching WLS 5 years ago, but, the insurance that I had at that…

Experimenting with cottage cheese
I like cottage cheese; fat free, low fat, 2% and 4%. Right now I'm consuming fat free to maximize the qualities : calories ratio!! I've been mixing in different additives for variety. So far I've tried tomatoes (yum), pineapple (yum), shredded carrots (ok), and blueberries (yuk)! What, if anything, do you all like mixed in…

Hi I'm new here and preop
Hello all. I'm Aimee from Illinois. I'm in the very early process of vsg and just downloaded mfp today. I found this group and figured maybe I can make friends and get inspiration. I just had my consult last Thursday with the surgeon so have a ways to go. I started the liquid protein shakes Friday. Anyway, nice to be here.

What do you mean when you say...?
What do you mean when you say a food doesn't agree with you? I'm 4 weeks post-op (sleeve). I'm in the soft foods stage. I have had heart burn, gas (especially burping), and a drippy nose since day one. (Couldn't eat anything for first 4 days!) But honestly, I can't tie it to food consumption. I might get heartburn or burp…

I unfortunately do not get sick from things I should not eat. I have gained 25 lbs :( I do NOT want to go back to the old me. I was so uncomfortable and…

Where's the fast forward button?
I've been feeling a little impatient today. I want the weight to come off faster, I want to be in a smaller size of clothes (i lost 40 lbs (pre and post op) and still am the same size), and I really want for someone to notice my weight loss who doesn't know about the surgery. I'm a little over a month out (I had surgery on…
