I thought it was supposed to be "two consecutive days" Was I misinformed??

Since May 2006 I have had the Chocolate Champion Pure Whey Stack in my morning cup of coffee as my breakfast. It doesn't throw up that awful "whey smell" in your nose as some can. It has (in a 1.6 scoop serving) 195 calories, 35 g protein, 3g. fat and 18g calcium.

This has befuddled me or a LONG time....Why is it called "plastic" surgery? Isn"t it more reduction or reconouring surgery. Or is it that you have that "numb,plastic" feeling at the incision site?

I can only lay witness to my own experience. I hit a plateau 8 months out that lasted 7 weeks so I decided "If I'm not losing weight, I must be eating too much" so I cut my lunch and my second protein shake. This resulted in another 7 weeks at the same weight. When I expressed my frustration (I was SO near ONEderland it…

Congratulations!! :happy: I remember well the struggle I went through to finally hit ONEderland. It is an AWESOME feeling!!!:laugh:

You are right, Pal. I should not get discouraged...I had my RNY surgery May of 2006. I started at 245 (my highest weight was 265). My goal weight was 150 but somehow I stood at 135 for almost 2 yeard. I did not like this weight as I felt "frail" and you could see every bone in my ribcage. I felt I looked like an OLD…

WHY am I NOT losing weight????:sad:

I hit my plateay and it was huge. My starting weight was 265 and I hit my plateau at 200-201. I rocked bacl=k and forth on these numbers for about5 weeks and then said to myself "if you aren't losing, you must be eating too much" so I cut out my second protein shake and a snack.. much to my chagrin, I still couldn't break…

VERY GOOD - LOVE that smile!!!!!

I am 6 years post op (RNY) and remember WELL when I experienced hair loss. Mind you , I didn't have a lot of it to lose....there is male pattern baldness on both sides of my family. I am just glad my hair has some texture to it and is not limp. The greatest thing - for me - was when my hair started coming back in, it came…

Since I've started watching my calorie intake at 1200 calories, I've lost 4 pounds the first week then nothing for the past 3 weeks. this weekend I was frustrated and didn't log in anything. and now I'm back to where I started....177. Time for an upset. Instead of random calories(all within limits), I am going to try a…

Ginger is GREAT for calming the stomach. Ginger tea (made by steeping ginger and straining it) also works great. I always heard ginger ale is good too....I've always, again, steeped some ginger, - cooled it - and added it to the ginger ale. I love the spicyness of ginger

Checking in... this AM I was STILL 173. Staying within my 1200 calorie daily goal. I admit my exercise is lacking. trying to get in my 64 0z water but I'm not a big water drinker. I have been rocking between 172-173 for two weeks noe. Ideas???

Just a bit if advice. Get you bike from a place where they actually fit you to a bike. I went with my son, (who KNOWS bikes) and he put me on several bikes until we found one that fit ME. It isn't the color I would have chosen but it RIDES really comfortably and I can ride it LONGER....

Pepto is a NSAID. if your doctor said to avoid them then don't take it. If your surgeon has no suggestions, talk to your Pharmacist. they KNOW their stuff and how it workds with the body. Have you tried walking??? Are you passing any gas?? if not, your surgeon should be told. you may have a "kink" in there somewhere....

I typically use the Good Seasons Italian dressing mix and use olive oil instead of veg or canola oil. just let it sit out to religuify and use (Olive oil tends to thicken when COLD) I do stick to the 2T or less.

Are you willing to share the recipe??

If I join now I still have a month. Current weight - 172 goal weight - 165 on july 4 ultimate goal weight 150 by my daughters due date Aug 28.

I do like this one except the "don't drink your calories". My daily breakfast is my protein powder in my morning cuppa.

Hi, if you are still looking, I'll twin with you. I'm 59 (will be 60 in Aug) and need to lose 25 pounds. my top weight was 365 pounds but I had gastric bypass surgery 6 years ago, I was able to mailtain my weight loss until about 1.5 years ago. I'm sure I've become lazy as I got older - or maybe my hobbies are more…

new here.... what is bumping???

research....research....research..... then decide 6 years post Op and never regretted my RNY

I agree with all the posts. IT WILL GET BETTER. you have to figure...the body is trying to get rid of a LOT of waste. water and exercise will help flush it. Good luck and keep ona keeping on. (I'm :wink: post op 6 years)

This happens to me when I eat more than 1/4 c ice cream or drink milk. PAINFUL

I love the Champion Pure Whey Stack. It doesn't hit your nose like most protein suppliments do. My breakfast is 1.6 scoops of Chocolate in my morning coffee. Kinda like a cafe mocha.

Larry, I grew up in PA. at the intersection of rt 322 & I-80

Northern VA is my home now.
