  • It’s called The Inspire Diet Support if you do a search on Facebook...if you’re already s member of either of the other support groups they have you can do a search with the keywords in the group or look through the posted photos and there’s always a link on them. I make their shakes with add ins...ie: SF flavorings,…
  • Have you tried putting the choc chip bar in the microwave for about 8 sec? I’ve tried all but the PB&J one, which gets delivered today..they’re all really good warmed..way different than eating straight from the wrapper :)
  • There is a closed group they have for the 14 and 28 day plan participants only..if you’re on their Facebook support group it has been posted several times. They are starting a 28 day diet challenge on Mon the 26th only for the diet box purchasers if you’re interested you can ask to join the group and join up in the…
  • I use fat free Fairlife or the skim...6 oz and I spoon mix them because I absolutely can’t stand the frothy stuff. Every am I put my cafe Bella in my hot coffee, (make sure you watch the video on how to add Inspire to hot beverages before doing this) and I have used it in flavored teas. Sometimes I add other spices or…

  • and I didn’t try the pumpkin pie, but I know some loved it, others hated it..just like anything it’s all about your own personal tastes
  • I am currently..have been on it since I got my 1st order on Dec 9, 2017..it is the 1st protein powder I’ve been able to get down since my sleeve surgery almost 3 yrs ago. Love the Cafe Bella in my coffee every am, Holy Cannoli, white chocolate Strawberry and chocolate covered cherry make amazing shakes and mug cakes...…
  • This isn’t just a WLSurgery issue...my son who is now 18 and 6’ft tall, weighed about 220 last year at this time, did not have WLS...he worked his butt off in the gym (a couple of hrs a day, almost daily) he completely changed how he ate and started taking care of himself nutritionally (protein, vitamins, supplements etc)…
  • My surgeon really wasn’t specific other than the protein amount of 80-100g, water intake 64 oz MINIMUM ( I’m usually no less than 80oz daily now and I’ve noticed if I stalled a lil upping my water intake over a few days helps move it) and a daily cal intake depending on how much activity I was doing...but her Nutritionist…
  • Greek yogurt, smooth refried beans with a little shredded cheese, scrambled eggs made with a touch of cottage cheese (makes them more moist), sugar free pudding if you want something sweet, unsweetened cream of wheat (I added sweetener and cinnamon and a little skimmilk to)..Congrats on your sleeve, best wishes on your…
  • Sleeved 3-4-15...I gained back 30 lbs and never made it to my personal goal....HW 272 SW 265 LW 178 RegainW 207 CW 201.6...I let go and started having things I knew I shouldn’t...carbs, pizza, nuts, alcohol...all things in moderation right? Because my Nut said it would be ok to have a glass of wine a month or handful of…
  • I’m pretty sure it can be tempered like the Cafe Bella is with coffee, I did with the Buttermint and coffee...there’s a video on their site how to do it, very simple, and worked perfectly...let me know if you don’t find it, I’ll post a link. I’ve been watching posts on the eggnog reviews, and there’s been a lot of tips on…
  • I haven’t tried the eggnog, but I did just get the buttermint and holy cannoli and the rest of my 1st order from them...so glad I decided to take a chance on their proteins, I’ve finally found one I can keep down! If you order from them, they have a promo for free shipping, a free mug and also a chance to win $300 in…
  • You may find some inspiration here... https://www.facebook.com/search/top/?init=quick&q=No%20Bariatric%20Regain%2C%20Back%20on%20Track&tas=0.08879325292462792 It’s an amazing group in my opinion, but either way, I hope you find some inspiration, it’s so hard if you don’t
  • I just joined this group...had VSG 3/4/2015, lost 99 lbs initially... over the last year due to old habits and poor accountability on my part; that just led to me wanting whatever I wanted and basically having it, I regained 32 of those lbs lost..a week ago I got fed up when my clothes were way too tight and I had to go…
  • I just came back to posting here again about 6 days ago..for those wanting to know the Facebook group that was talked about is through BariatricEating.com....it’s amazing! It has proven plans to get Back On Track ( BOT) and BEE (Be Easy Eating) they also do a 48 hour rest, they also have a Keto plan. Last Sat, I had…

    in New! Comment by duffslove July 2016
  • I'm at about 1 1/2 yr post surgery, never had this problem before..my food doesn't seem to be overly dry, but I find my mouth feeling really dry when I'm chewing..I mean, I'm not drinking a lot or big gulps..just a sip or 2.. Which is still bad, but it just seems like I need to give my mouth more moisture when I'm eating,…
  • I'm right there with you..so similar in many aspects of your post. I took what I thought was a much needed tracking break, and wound up gaining a few lbs back...time to get on track with my plan and get those last 20 lbs off me also and stop letting my old bad habits creep back in...You can do it, look how hard you worked…
  • I had gained back 7lbs because I wasn't logging and paying attn, old habits of eating bad stuff crept back in. I took it upon myself to try the 5dpt if that is what you're referring to..I was able to get through it well and had lost 5 of those 7 lbs back in Jan-feb. I then gained back 3 lbs in the next several weeks when I…
  • Congrats to you..that's fantastic! Way to hang in there and work your butt off..literally..lol..may you have continued success and many happy and healthy years enjoying your healthy new you
  • Good luck tomorrow! Sending positive healing thoughts your way
  • I had surgery on 3/4/15...getting close to maintenance..feel free to add me. Welcome back, and I wish you well in continuing your life's journey
  • That's awesome! Always looking forward because that's where your future lies :)
  • I went 3 months without logging my food exercise or weight..it started out that I wanted to try an experiment to see if I could keep myself on track without being stuck with having to log all of the time, I too wanted "normal" it didn't work well for me, I figured out I wasn't holding myself accountable the longer I did…
  • Fantastic! You look so happy and healthy! Way to go
  • I too became very lack with my program since around beginning of Nov..both exercise, eating the right foods and tracking my food...sadly put on about 4lbs through the Holidays. I'm on Day 3 of the 5DPT, had some pretty bad carb withdrawls yesterday, was so nauseous, and I wasn't surprised because I was really abusing…
  • Wishing you a very happy birthday, hope it's a fantastic day :)
  • I really love reading your posts and although I am not nearly as far into my journey as you are in yours (only 9 months post VSG) I will most likely be hitting my maintenance period shortly and I am finding that I really need to start taking a good look at how things are going with my own..I've started slipping and I hate…
  • Great job! You're doing fantastic!
