I am, most of my friends have gone inactive. Looking for new ones

No need...your tool is your tiny tummy. Get back on a bariatric diet. Increase your water and exercise. I gained 15 during covid, 4 lbs down in 5 days. My VSG surgery was 2013

I am 3 years out. Just came back after a 1 or hiatus and a gain of 12 lbs. Lost 4 my first week back. My diary is open. Feel free to add

Thanks for the info. Been doing a slight variation for a week and down 4 lbs the first week. 10 to go to be at my lowest weight since surgery. I will be 3 years post VSG on 3/10. I need to get to my first goal of 160 by summer....50 to go

Ok, time to fess up!! I will be 3 years post VSG on 3/10/16. I have gained 8 lbs in the past 4 months. Seems I can eat whatever I want with no issues. Okay...time to turn this around. In a nutshell can someone recap what the 5DPT entails. Shakes and a small meal at dinner?

Not sure how one would know how much potassium to enter into the database for each food if it has not been captured on the food label. Many people add foods from taking a picture from their phone of the product bar which automatically adds the food to their diary. You could always look up foods for their potassium content,…

I use it all the time, hardly eat beef anymore. I will say you need to season it up as it is very bland. I also use ground chicken a lot which is just as versatile. Google ground turkey recipes, or search it on Pinterest if you have that. - turkey, spinach & feta meat balls - turkey meatloaf - turkey sloppy joe's - turkey…

I already had some last night.... 5 oz sliced corned beef 1/4 c shaved cabbage (the stuff in the small bag used to make coleslaw) 1 oz swiss cheese 2 Tbsp thousand Island Dressing Never missed the bread or potatos

Was wondering the same. I bought some this week. Down about 2 lbs so far with another day to go before I weigh in. Stick has darkened a tad but wondering how dark it should be to be in true ketosis.

Definately going to try the soup recipes

Absolutely! I am a planner, helps me with grocery shopping too.

I still remember the day I quit for good....10/10/2009. Yes, I had tried a million times and many ways before. I guess for me it was that my health was on a steady downward slope, I ate too much, drank too much and smoked too much...it all sucked! I had high blood pressure, high cholesterol and I could barely walk to the…

Don't know what ay of your goals are but my morning drink consists of 1/2 scoop chocolate Body Fortress protein powder (15g), 1/2 c So Delicious unsweetened almond milk with 2X protein (5 g) & 1 c cold coffee. That gives you 20 g to start the day. Sometimes I add peanut butter or PB2 and whir it up in my nutra bullet.…

I have about 6 of them, never washed any of them. One thing that perturbs me to no end is the Velcro peeling off. Everytime I call and complain about it they end me a new band...LOL. I will have to try the superglue.

I have a nutra bullet and have loved it. I actually burned out the motors while making some ice cream in it, got it replaced with no problem. Don't know what your diet is so I won't take time telling you all the ways I make mine. I would look through the recipes that came with it. there are some great options in there. DO…

Sunbutter is good too (sunflower seeds) as is cashew butter, any nut butter actually is fine with me. NUTELLA....ah yeah that is like crack to me too.

cottage cheese, dill and lemon pepper

Thanks for feeling the need to point out my spelling error :blushing:

I used to be a faithful Chobani girl until I discovered the Dannon Light & Fit Greek. For me and my dietary needs it is a better choice as it is way lower in sugar content. Flavor and consistency are fine for both. Sometimes it is a matter of which is on sale. I also have a local farmer who makes goat milk yogurt which is…

You said you are getting 60 g of protein per week....I hope you meant to say per day. that is my minimum, goal is 80-100 but I am 8 mths out. I was at a goal of 60/day when I was where you are.

No, there are too many free sites out there that would serve my purpose. Their food data base sucks, no recipe sharing, buggy releases-need to do a better QA prior to releasing, slow development. I know it is a hugely popular site but imagine how popular it would be if some improvements were made!!!

I have had mine for a few years. Works fine with the iPhone 5 the only thing I hate about it is the damn Velcro on the armband. they adhere to the armband with some kind of sticky crap and the eventually come detached. I have had to take a heavy needle and sew mine back on to the band which is cheaper than ordering new…

I was in your boat a few years ago......if you smoke, stop-if you don't exercise, start. Replace bad fats with good fats. ...meaning relace butter olive oil or coconut oil, whole fat dairy for low fat dairy, eat avocados, walnuts, olives,. There are many good sites out there. I find Mayo Clinic and Web MD to be a couple of…

I have one and use it on and off. I hate the band on the arm and I hope they could refine it with a better inconspicuous look. I also find the Velcro wears out and I have had to sew the closure on. I do find it to be quite accurate and it did help me to learn what my true calorie burn is as well as my sleep patterns.

I know some folks absolutely swear off all bread, I do not and maybe you do not either. I love the Fiber One English muffins or a slice of Ezekiel's bread toasted (both loaded with protein/good carbs and plenty of fiber) I top them with many things such as just peanut or almond butter (natural-no sugar added), a tablespoon…

same here, been on MFP for years with little to no success using the traditional methods. Was sleeved 6 months ago, down about 55 lb so far. Best decision I have ever made. NOt without its challenges, but so worth it.

walking only for 2 months.....no swimming, no machines, no zumba, no yoga....NOTHING per my doc. Remember you just had major surgery. You MUST let your insides heal. A few weeks is certainly not that long to avert a trip to the hospital due to complications. Your healing from that would be 10 times worse.....Be patient you…

I wear Champion brand work out tights. I don't wear any other shorts over them, don't see a need. What is the difference between these and "compression" clothes? They hold everything in nice and tight. Do you just wear shorts and a t-shirt and you are looking for something that is tighter? If so, hit up Target and try on…
