My mom and sister both had gastric bypass and NEITHER of them every had to drink whey protein or other afterwards. They were recommended Centrum Complete and I know after that during follow ups they were checked to see if there were others needed. Mom I think needed B-12.

If it is nutrients you want, why not sugar-free Carnation instant breakfast drinks??? That is the nutrient drink the bariatric drs here put patients on prior to surgery for breakfast and two snacks along with lunch and dinner consisting of 18 g of protein and one cup of low cal veggie and 64 oz of water.

I usually make quesadillas or jalapeno cornbread...cant say its a healthy option but those are my options with my soup.

Whatever is cheap and fits.

I have not ran a mile since I was in 9th grade over 20 years ago. And even then it took me 8 min 26 seconds to do so. Only running I do now is running in circles and running errands and that is the only running I ever see me doing! I want to be healthy. I am not trying to be athletic.

It was told to me once that 3 oz of chicken, beef, pork... was about the size of a deck of playing cards.

I have WW online and this and I choose this over the WW!

This was posted in recipes.... I am looking forward to trying this! http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/349068-butternut-squash-gratin-perfect-fall-meal I was told to cut in half fill with a mix of pineapple, pecans and a little butter and brown sugar and bake... I was just never told the amounts to use :(

I would love to have more too! I could use an army of support!!! I have 100+ to lose and just start Sept 13. I will send you a request :D Anyone else feel free to add. The more the merrier.

Oddly enough for me it was hurting my foot and having to be off of it for four days. I know I would not have had to be off that long had I weighed less and may not have even hurt it.

oops....posted twice

I am over one protein, fiber and sugar every day. Even with that I lost 10 lbs my first week. I have started taking in more carbs and a few more calories this week and scale numbers don't seem to be moving so far. For me, I am going to adjust according to the results I get each week until I find out what numbers work best…

I agree. It is dependent on the person. Eating too much or too little can affect weight loss. Food choices can also play a factor. Age plays a factor. The healthy,ideal weight loss for anyone is 1-2 lbs a week. I was told Having to lose over 100 lbs myself that I want to lose it slowly to give the skin time to adjust…

I have been a stylist for over 20 years. Sexy Hair makes a dry shampoo. The witch hazel as suggested helps. Baby powder helps. As a stylist though, shampooing should not be making the hair oily. Oil and sweat both come from scalp pores. Shampoo should be helping manage oil. Maybe check the shampoo and conditioner you have…

Flirting is dependant on the purpose and is also mistaken. As a hairstylist, I can say I have been called a flirt MANY of times. Call it what you will. I am full of kind words, smiles, etc. I know when I am flirting and I know when I am being nice. It's not my fault if someone else reads into it!

I saw a difference in people who did water aerobic exercises. Not sure if that works for everyone. It was part of my exercising when I was 17/18... LOL! So I don't remember. I was told, also not sure how accurate the info was, one of the reasons to lose slow it because it give the body time to adjust. And on that note I…

Welcome!!!! I am an equal opportunity fat employer. I am looking to terminate a great deal of fat from all areas. I wish you much success on your journey. Feel free to add me if you would like.

Have you tried looking at other food diaries to get some new ideas? I know I like to view others that have that option open! A lot can be learned! Good luck to you. Hang in there. You will get use to it. I have only been at this a week and it is becoming easier.

I log as I go so I know what numbers I am working with. I tried to log the day before but something comes up that makes my meal choices change if I do that unless I go with things not need cooked on the stove or in the oven. I was not over today, but I felt guilty because I ate a McChicken! I ate what I wanted at the time…

Same ones I still use TRY to use. The main one is that I see all fit people working out therefore I tell myself I can't do it. And in reality I can not do it! I had to face that fact and realize I have to start of at the bottom of the ladder just like any other successful climb.

Basically anything on the outer perimeter of most every grocery stores. The less processed the better! And the whole grains. Wish I could be better help.

You handled it better than I would have!!!! Both sides have a right to his or her own opinion, but in that type of professional setting the nurse should have kept her trap shut after hearing where you stand!!!!!

I understand that you are just starting the site. Seriously we ARE here to help!!!!!!! It is not meant to push you away. It is just the best suggestion at the moment.

I am not trying to be rude or mean in that either. It was not too long ago this question was asked and well....

Day before is my worst! I could be at a buffet and not get the right food. And it is that way for about 3 or 4 days. I wouldn't eat as much if I could just figure out what I really want. I will get what I think I want, then I will realize that wasn't it....I think all it really craves is more water!!!!!!!

Rather than having to cut the egg roll wraps, do you thing it would come out close enough using wonton wraps which are already smaller in size??? (I have some of those here...LOL)

Good information to know! But no more squats for me then!!! I am wide enough!

What an accomplishment!!!! Thanks for posting!

Awesome job!!! I hope to see the good results you have! I have a LONG way to go!
