  • Welcome to the group! :D
  • For premade, I stick to the Atkins shakes because they are the only ones that don't have a nasty flavor in my opinion. I like the Vanilla, Strawberry, and the Cafe Mocha Latte flavors. They have a great taste and 15 grams of protein each. My favorite protein drink is from Syntrax Nectar called Latte Cappuccino. I buy the…
  • fixed it :)

  • oh, and btw..thinnertimes.com has been absolutely amazing. the support you get from those folks is awesome.
  • I had surgery on 2/17 and I've lost a total of ~56 lbs si nce I started the whole process. Weighed in at 296 the day I met with my surgeon and weigh 239.8 now. The surgery is definitely an amazing tool to help those of us who have struggled with dieting for so long. Good luck to you on your journey. I sent you a friend…
  • Hmm..Are you drinking with your meals? This can cause hunger because the liquid helps push food out of the pouch faster. Also, you may need to ask yourself are you really hungry, or is it just "head hunger"? I've been struggling with head hunger quite a bit.
  • Amazing transformation! You are lookin' hot!
  • I don't think it's a man thing. My mom lives with us, and she couldn't really notice a difference either until I showed her some side by side pics from before surgery and 1 month out.

I figure if I can handle working full time while also going to school full time, then I can take more classes without a job in the way. I think my husband and I would turn…
  • I haven't had any issues, but I hope you're able to figure it out soon. I had chronic diarrhea when I was on my diabetes medication and I know how horrible it can be :(
  • Welcome and best of luck to you on your journey!

  • It is so strange how every doctor is different. My doctor strictly forbids gummy vitamins. :(
  • I take the Celebrate brand ones. They are geared toward bariatric patients as well. I am taking the mandarin orange flavored multivitamin, and while it isn't the best, it's tolerable. I also take the berry flavored iron pills and I really don't mind them at all.
  • I had my surgery on Friday, took a shower Saturday evening (which is when that happened), and the doctor came in Sunday morning and decided to just remove the on-Q pumps since it was leaking and causing me more discomfort than they were worth. I luckily didn't have to deal with any drains! I was so happy she took them out,…
