I love this idea, I already have the PB2 so I will shop for sf/ff cool whip. Thanks for the idea

Are you getting enough protein each day and are you drinking enough water? When I do not eat at least 80 grams of protein and 64oz of fluid I feel tired.

I had not idea, I am looking for ways to increase my protein so thank you.

Hello to All, my name is Cheryl and I had gastric bypass surgery a year ago. I have lost 125 pounds as of today and I still need to drop another 40. It has been a long road to get to this point but I am happy that I followed thru with my surgery. I had tried so many diets like most of you with never achieving any success.…

I have already lost 111 pounds and need to drop another 60. I see alrady that I need surgery for my arms; can anyone tell me how much does an arm lift cost? Thank you,

I am almost a year out from surgery and I can tell you that after losing 111 pounds I need my arms done. They really have turned into bat wings for sure. I should also have a tummy tuck done but I am really afraid and as long as there are spanks I will keep a tummy tuck on the back burner. I really need the arm surgery…

Hello, I am six months post op but at 3 months post op you should be drinking your protein shakes, clear chicken broth or beef broth, low fat yogurt, low fat cheese, sugar free jello and low fat cottage cheese. Also, you should be getting close to be allowed cooked green veggies like green beans, broccolli and squash. All…

Someone else that I knew gained around 15 to 20 pounds back after several years post surgery. She shared with me that she decided to go way back to the beginning of only liquids for 2 weeks and that included her protein shakes, clear broth and her bariatic soup mixes that had around 15 grams of protein. She said it was…

Thanks for sharing, I will have to try this they sound yummy

Hi Tricia, thank you for sending me this link, I will check it out right now. I am sure this will help me. Thanks again, Cheryl

Sherrie, thank you for your response. I do find the chicken does go down the best for me but pork, and beef are real problems for me. It seems that my nutriontionist is reluctant to give me any suggestions on protein that is not animal based protein. She tells me that I must be low on Zinc can if I take 3 teaspoons of zinc…

Ann, thank you for your suggestions, I will give them a try. I just was not sure where to start. Thanks again.

I do not throw the word addiction around but many people do to describe their reaction to any substance. I am not a doctor but I have been told by several doctors that there are chemical components of sugar that are the same as alcohol. Like I said I am not a professional. I do have a serious problem with sugar and it has…

I just read your post; I had my gastric bypass surgery on March 11, 2013 and I am now down 73 pounds. I want to congratualate you are your 121 pound weight loss that is just awesome. I am wondering if you could give me any tips on how you lost your weight in 7 months. I would really appreicate any help you can give me…

I have lost 72 pounds and need to drop another 109 but I can tell you I have to agree with you the stomach fat has to be the last to go. I see weight loss in my face, neck, breasts, and upper legs but the middle section all though going down still makes me look heavier. the legs on my shorts/pants are way too big but still…

I had belonged to Shapes Fitness for women and they do have an area for circuit training. All the women are very repesctful of each other and do 2 or 3 sets on each machine and then moves to the next machine. I like they way they have it set up. I also like the fact this is a women's only center so everyone there fpr…

Ann, thanks again, this is my first day with only 1 protein shake a day. This is so hard and I am so afraid of gaining weight. I have lost 72 pounds but I have 109 more to go. I just do not want to mess this up. I had my first beef meal today. I had shredded beef and ate about 2 oz's will eat the rest tonight. I have to…

Ann thanks for your reply and I check out the vitamins that you have suggested. I have been loosing lots of hair each day and I need to be on these vitamins for at least 30 days to know if they are doing their job especially the Andrew Lessman skin, hair and nails from HSN. I will keep you posted.

I just saw this posting, I am 4 months post op, I had my gastric bypass on March 11, 2013. I have been taking the vitamins my nut sells from her office but I am starting to feel the pain of the cost of these vitamins. I bought them off of her because she told me hers were the best (of course they are), but I have decided…

Congratulations on your weight loss, job well done. I had my WLS done on March 11, 2013 and now four months out I am down 72 pounds. Since you are further ahead of me can you please share with me any difficulties you have had getting towards your goal? I have already had a stall that lasted almost a month but seem to be…

Hi Ann, I just read your posting and I have been doing the same thing mostly eating protein and a few fruits each day. It has been 4 months since my surgery and I just went to my nut. last week and was told to add veggies and more fruit to my diet and that this woulod help with my hair loss. I was also told to only have 1…

Good Morning, Can you please post the bariatic food pryamid it would be so helpful to me and I am sure it will help those who just joined this group. I have a nut. but sometimes she is so confusing to me and I just want to get this straight in my own mind. thank you again.

I am so happy to see this subject being discussed. I am now 4 months post op. I had the gastric sleeve done this past March and I am only now experiencing hair loss. The past 2 weeks have been incredible with the hair loss. My shower drain is so full of my hair falling out I could just cry. I have just changed my multi…

Hi ladies, I have lost 66 pounds as of today, it has been 4 months since my surgery. I sometimes get frustrated but for the most part I am happy I have had WLS. Before this surgery I did think about cosmetic surgery down the road. I can already see my arms are going to have to be done first. With 66 pounds gone I already…

Grim, I want to thank you as well for your response. I guess I am a carb junky at heart. I hear what you are saying about food cravings. Before my surgery 4 months ago I felt like I had no control over bread, pizza, cookies, cake and candy. All I wanted was anything high in carbs and sugar. I would try so hard but I gave…

Amy, Thank you for your reply. I really would like your Gluten Free bread recipe. I will give you my email address so you can send it to me. I really miss bread and this will help. I will also look up Udi's online and place an order. I know bread on line is expensive but I live in an area where gluten free is hard to find.…

Ann, thank you for your reply. I will try some oatmeal for breakfast and start there. I see you are only 12 pounds alway from goal. I want to congratulate you on your success. I have lost 63 pounds but I still have a long way to go. I made an appointment with my Nut. for next Thursday and I hope to get this straightened…

I am going to try these for sure, thanks for sharing.

This odes sound yummy, but I have to ask what kind of cottage cheese did you use? Low fat, fat free or regular cottage cheese. Thanks again,
