I get tired of the protein shakes too! I have purchased unflavored protein from Unjury and have been adding half a scoop to applesauce, or sugar-free pudding, or cottage cheese etc., just to get in more protein. Also if you like egg-drop soup it is super easy to make, low-calorie and high protein, and is also easy to…

I'm 3 months post op, my best advise is follow your doctor's advise! No matter what other well meaning people tell you, do what your doctor says. You're paying him, he went to medical school, he is very experienced in how to make it work. He wants you to succeed, he would love for you to be his next poster child for…

Best wishes! It is worth every up and down. Do follow your doctors instructions and recommendation to give yourself the best possible success!!! Blessing, Lisa

Low fat cottage cheese was very easy for me post-op. Weight Watchers String Cheese. Protein shakes, even Unjury has a chicken broth protein, that is a nice change. Many beef jerkies are 98% fat free, high in protein, and since you're just nibbling on a small amount, not a whole serving, the sodium is too bad. Hope that…

Thanks for the update! I'm thinking of doing this, glad to have the feed back! Lisa

How awesome! I love weights, hate cardio, but I'm working on it! Your pictures are inspiring! Thanks for sharing! Now, I'm off to the gym!!!!!

wonderful!!! way to go!!!! Thanks for sharing!!!

Something that helps me is if it's a breakfast then I make 'good' choice for that meal. I don't think too far ahead, just one meal at a time. Exercise is tough especially when your calories are low, but if you don't want alot of excess skin or to lose muscle then you have to exercise. I walk, I'm not fast, but I try to…

I feel that way at times. I know I've lost weight, but still feel like the fattest person in the room. Yesterday was the first day I had gone to looke for new jeans, I tried on a 22, then a 20, next an 18, then a 16, finally a 14 fit! A 14 from the Jr. section not the Plus section. That was a real motivator!

tortilla soup is in the crock pot! With chicken breast, diced tomatoes, onions, olives, green onions! Smells yummy!

Wow, what a journey! Welcome!

fantastic!!

You guys are great!!! It's good to others are going thru the same things! I had a 'friend' join in a conversation as other friends were commenting on how great I looked, she says, "well, I never saw how fat you were, you were just my friend.' It was said in a real back handed way. I too am learning there are those who are…

Welcome! I am 7 weeks post op from the Vertical Sleeve. Every week I feel better and stronger. I did 3 months diet with the nutritionist at my doctors office. My understanding is they want to create the healthy livestyle you will need to have in place following the surgery. It gave me the chance to get carbonated drinks…

thank for sharing! i needed some inspiration this morning!

I am 7 weeks out from having the sleeve surgery. I visit the dietician every 4 weeks, I'm 5'2 and about 200. My dietician said I should stay between 600-800 calories for the first 12 months following surgery. He said my protein need to be at 70 minimum, If I stall or stop losing then bump up my protein, but stay in the 700…

most articles on WLS suggest a stool softener first. If you can, hold off on any diaretic, you don't want your new stomach having spasms. Probiotics are also suggested, they helped me. Good luck!

Also, keep positive things in front of you. Whether it be a book, healthy living magazines, upbeat music, funny sitcoms, etc. Make sure you are getting plenty of protein, along with taking your vitamins. Give yourself a chance to succeed. If you were fighting for the health of a child, there would be no end to the effort…

Sounds great, I haven't done a challenge! Thanks Name/ real name: KidsKart / Lisa Current Weight: 193 Challenge Goal Weight: 163 04/09: 04/16: 04/23: 04/30: 05/07: <<<183>>> 05/14: 05/21: 05/28: 06/04: <<<173>>> 06/11: 06/18: 06/25: 07/02: <<<163>>>
