I was only suggesting some healthy snack and alternatives. She should of course consult her OB. I have had gastric bypass, so my daily intake is around 800 calories. I supplement my food with protien drinks and many vitamins. All according to doc and nutritionst. :)

Had to add something after seeing the other posts. If you gain too much weight while pregnant, it is unhealthy for the mom AND the baby (speaking from someone who gained 100 pounds during pregnancy). Dieting while pregnant when your BMI is too high is perfectly okay. Make sure you discuss your plan with the OB, to ensure…

Leslie Sansone's Walk away the pounds is a GREAT program! The easy walk (1 mile, 17 minutes) and brisk walk (2 mile, 30 Minutes) sound like viable options for you. Record what you eat religously... Then review to see where you can cut calories, and choose healthier options. You can do this in a painless, safe manner! BTW i…

Make sure you get in at least 60-80 grams of protein daily, and I would also take 2 multivitamins daily. Since you are so low calorie, you may need the extra nutrients. I had gastric bypass in 2011 and eat 500-800 calories daily after exercising. I have to have that much protein, the 2 multi vitamins, iron, calcium, and…

I used to be... Had to get drastic and have Gastric bypass. I also DO NOT buy my binge trigger foods anymore, or ask my family to purchase them for me. Very hard to change!

I was married at 20, and 5 months pregnant. My husband and I have been married almost 21 years and my son (the best thing I have ever done) is 20 years old, and a Marine, and beautiful inside and out! Parenting is the hardest thing you will ever do, but also the most rewarding. I am sure I made TONS of mistakes on the way;…

I had Gastric bypass in Dec 2011, so I have to do 60-80 mg of protein daily. That in addition to my lack of green leafys causes a problem. I take 2 colace one in morning one at night (no laxative) and for bfast I have a yogurt mixed with allbran cereal. It helps things move along! hope it helps!

I had RNY Gastric Bypass on 12/11/2012... SAVED MY LIFE! I though about it for years before I did it, was the best decision I have ever made! I am almost 5 months out, have lost 105 pounds and have 90 more to go! J :flowerforyou:

UMMMM...lol Quit smoking 10 yrs ago. You are lucky it is only 8 pounds! You will find that you have soooo much more time to fill now, try walking. Make new habits when you used to smoke... i.e. after meals... THAT was what triggered me to stop eating... Hang in there!

Things I have learned: 1. Food is NOT a reward! 2. It is okay to throw food away 3. Get rid of Soda and Alcohol - empty calories (also makes you eat more) Make sure you have non-food rewards for weight loss: 1. New clothing 2. mani -Pedi 3. Waxing, or electrolysis 4. Teeth bleaching 5. Permanent make-up 6. New book, or new…

Congrats! What an inspiration you are! Did you do this with diet and exercise alone? I had gastric bypass Dec 12th 2011 and have lost 99 pounds so far, but have a really long way to go. I could not do it alone. Very AMAZING accomplishment!!! Thank you for sharing! J:noway:

I would LOVE to join... that is my next goal... to break 200

Great progress!!!! You HAVE to be feeling so much better! Keep it up!

The liquid diet, you just have to fight through!!!!!! Protein: Pro Joe Chai Tea - 20 grams protein 9.5 oz 120 cal, 5 carbs twice a day then Pure Protein Frosted Chocolate - 23 grams protein 120 cal, 12 oz Unjury protein is good too, but those two are my favorites!!

I usually have 3 protein shakes a day, gives me 63 grams, then my food gives me the rest. Hope this helps!

I have sampled a ton of crappy protein! Below are the BEST! regular stores Pure protein frosty chocolate www.bariatricadvantage.com pro joe chai tea www.unjury.com Unflavored, Chocolate, Vanilla

WLS was the best thing I have ever done (and it probably saved my life)! I had gastric bypass on 12/12/2011, have lost 69.2 pounds. I am feeling better everyday, my friends, family, and co-workers have noticed a difference in my personality and the way I treat my life. No one can put a damper on my decision! Don't care…

Joining MFP, and logging your food intake and exercise is a HUGE STEP, and will alert you to the changes you need to make in your food intake. Portion control is a huge thing!! We Americans are just not taught how to eat. This site is a great tool, as well as great support. Good luck on your journey! J

6 gained, but I have lost it since then... The holiday buffets were killer!

I usually prep the night before and make a sandwich, salad & yogurt: 2 pieces whole wheat bread 1 tbsp light mayo 3 pieces fresh turkey (sliced from deli) 1 piece fresh turkey (sliced from deli) romain lettuce (ready go pac with cabbage & carrots) 2 tablespoons light salad dressing kroger lite yogurt Bottle kroger water

Make sure you communicate your fears to the dentist and staff, they have lots of ways available to ease your fear. Hang in there, get the treatments done, then go regularly! Coming from someone who knows!!!!! Jeanine -(Been in dentistry field for 10 years and STILL a scaredy cat!!!!)

What happened to cause you not to be able to walk. I am schedule for bypass on 05/04/2011 and am interested in hearing about the complication if you don't mind. I am not limited to a wheelchair, but mobility is hard due to my weight. There are lots of exercises online for sedentary adults. Do a search for them. Good Luck!.…

AWESOME! I know you saw a direct relation to weight loss from eliminating Soda Jeanine
