  • This is probably not what's going on, BUT, before I was diagnosed with diabetes, my feet drive me crazy itching. When I finally went to the doctor, I had full blown diabetes with comications. The itching was neuropathy. I did also have an insane itching at one time from the B vitamins the doc had me on for cholesterol…

  • Don't they give a calorie count on the menu? In California the nutritional information is listed on a menu, or if you ask for it.
  • The only powder I'll use is Genepro peptide protein. Its 30g for one tablespoon of power. You can add it to hot liquids as well as cold beverages. I add mine to my morning yogurt. Stir well. The only taste I can detect is a SLIGHT salty taste. I'm done waste
  • I'm adding my two cents. I HATE, seriously HATE fish. I don't eat it. Periodddd!!! I don't know how others do it, but I won't touch those nasty protein powders, or premades. I've spent far to much money on, "try this flavor" "add this to it". Yadda. They suck! I have my tastless, non thickening, can add to HOT beverages,…
  • Yoplait strawberry cheesecake yogurt and two scoops of Genepro protein powder for 65g of protein. Why? Because I like it, need it and deserve it. :D
  • Awesome post AND pictures. Your the incredible shrinking man! I've noticed, at the gym, most people working like it's their last day in earth. They load up on weight, do a few lifts, or pulls, and they are on to the next machine. Me on the other hand, opt for reps instead of heft. I've had issues with my back for several…
  • I can understand your feelings towards the man at the theme park. I've found myself thinking I'd like to share my good news with people I see in similar situations, but don't dare for fear of a negative response.

  • Good loss!
  • Welcome aboard, and congrats. I was sleeved on 2/3/15. I'm down 35lbs, not a lot of weight, but I'm a gym rat, working out at least 5 days a week, so I'm loosing inches and getting strong. I didn't mind the liquid diet. I did a lot of chicken and veggie broth. What I HATED were the shakes. I just wasn't hungry the first…

  • I seriously hate the protein drinks to the point, a few weeks out, I stopped drinking my protein. Then I found Genepro peptide protein. In each tablespoon is 30g of protein that will not thicken your drink, and you can put it in hot liquids. I add two scoops for 60g into my yogurt. Just stir well, and eat. The only taste…
  • Wowza! What a difference
  • My surgery date is Feb 3 My insurance required a sleep study, a visit with the psychologist, one on one with a dietician 2x a month for 6 months, a mandatory orientation at the hospital, which....is a 2 1/2 hour drive. I still have a preop appointment later this month. I see others that sail over these steps. Call your…
  • I bought, at, The Vitamin Shoppe, Designer Whey. Vanilla Almond. I added to it frozen pineapple, and a slash of Toblerone almond sugar free syurp. Also used Silk almong milk. It tastes like a Pinya Colada. Ask your surgeon if he has samples. Ask if your insurance plan has wls support groups. They usually have samples. I…
  • Had you had any previous surgeries? I had my gall bladder out in the dark ages, 1980. Laproscopic hysterectomy 1996, and Laproscopic apendectomy 8 years ago. Do, I'm wondering if I should assume my sleeve is going to be status quo. Yes, the gas that's pumped into you makes you look preggers for a time. I'm taking Gas X to…
