if the problem is feeling full long-term over the duration of your shift, you need to add something else with protein, like a cheese stick. I also personally find that I don't need the salty&sweet combo so much if I can get some spice in instead, so you may want to try a hot trail mix or something. when I work nights I try…

I'm 5'10". weight 350 size 28 or 4x weight 300 size 22 or 3x weight 255 size 18 or 1/2 x

I buy my everyday clothes at walmart so that they are tight when I buy them, and when I have to wear a belt I go buy more that are tight again. that way I can keep jeans and shirts rotating a little better. I'm 5months out and it is time to buy dress pants AGAIN so I am glad I didn't pre-buy because I would have bought too…

seriously, the PB one tastes like a reece's cup. so good.

if you're a big fan of mashed potatoes (like me) you can always add protein powder during that stage to make them better for you without altering the taste or texture too much. Dark meat is the way to go for sure, but don't pressure yourself into eating meat too soon, keep in mind that you still may not tolerate it well at…

Before surgery, I could lose about 5 pounds over the course of 6 months of REALLY working at it. which is not nothing, but it's not the kind of weight loss I needed, and is certainly not enough to keep motivated. It just didn't feel like the effort I put in was worth what I got out of it. So yeah, I probably could have…

I have PCOS as well, and bypass was the way to go for me, my doctors and I decided that it would be more likely to have good long term effects for me. as far as children go, the stats available where I am say it's about the same for either procedure that fertility rates go up, but you do need to check if your birth control…

I'm in Canada, and the way that the doctor's do it here is that RNY is the standard and the one they aim for, you only really get the sleeve if there is some specific reason to (you have specific medications that need to be absorbed differently, have previously had surgery on your digestive tract, etc). It also depends how…

My doctor wouldn't let me take less than 2 weeks, I ended up taking 4. I was healthy and off pain meds and feeling okay at 2 weeks, but I am glad I took the full 4 to re-train myself to eat at specific times and figure out how much liquid I could handle at once, etc.

I am sorry your friend didn't support you immediately! I did have a few people react negatively, but I found most of them were my close friends concerned about the risks of surgery, they didn't realize how safe it is and how long it's been studied now. She may be someone who thinks it's the easy way out, or she may be…

protein shakes vary a lot, it may take some trial and error before you find one that works for you. my doctor said I was ok to use whey protein, and all the bodybuilding guys at work directed me to cellucor - the peanut butter marshmallow flavor tastes like reece's cups, and the cinnamon swirl tastes like cinnamon toast…

I am also in Canada - GNC has some good stuff, but I also tend to buy protein from bodybuilding.com when it's on sale. I've been using powder in place of about 1/3 of the flour the recipe calls for and so far that's keeping the texture pretty well. There is a cellucor whey protein flavor that's basically confetti cake…

I told my parents and siblings as soon as I started the screening process. I told my in-laws and larger family a few months after once approval was pretty well secured. I've been pretty open about it with everyone, it's not like it's a secret that I am overweight and they will notice me dropping weight so quickly. Once I…

I'm only 3 weeks out from my RNY and I have the same issue - never full and never hungry. My dietician says it's actually a good sign with me because it's partially due to me drinking enough water and getting enough protein. I'm just into pureed food, so there's still a lot of protein shakes and broth in my life, and I…
