The Unjury Unflavored Is Disgusting
kimmy*custis replied to Anewlifeforme23's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Oh, I agree 100% , it is nasty. I wish I could help you but I only drink Muscle Milk light, I refused to have any powdered protein, all tasted gross to me. Best of luck, did you look in the recipe area? -
Two multi-vitamins with iron a day for me. Costco brand

Worried About The Protein Shakes - What If I Can't Do It?
kimmy*custis replied to Strangefruit's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
All I can say is...keep on trying different ones. I disliked all the powdered ones I tried but I love the Muscle Milk light, ready to drink ones, I get them at Costco, both chocolate and vanilla. Go to a GNC or health club and buy a single and see if you like it. Those are the only ones I drink. -
Yummy, that sound great, thanks for sharing!

How Often Do You Record Measurements?
kimmy*custis replied to Musharooni's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I never started the measurements and I am dissapointed that I didnt. I know I have lost so many inches and I cant say how many...grrr! I went from a size 20 pant to a....drum roll please...a size 12!!! Yes, I went shopping last night and fit into a size 12 jean....sooo excited. Also from a 2-3x shirts to a regular size large...woo hoo! I would suggest once a month for the measurements. Best of luck! -
Trying To Stay Positive And Focused But Feeling Discouraged
kimmy*custis replied to Spirit Fire's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
I think you are doing great! I had the same issue and upped my calories and started losing again, give it a try. Maybe mixing up the exercise routine too will jump start the weight loss again. 2 lbs a week is good I think, less saggy skin when we lose slower!! Best of luck to you. -
Yay! (3 Months, 40 Lbs Down)
kimmy*custis replied to goldenraisin214's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
It happens to all of us. I have lost/gained 2-3 lbs in a weekend...grrrr! Dont worry, it will drop off again soon. I still cant help but weigh myself daily....my one bad habit! Keep up the good work. -
Slowly But Surely....
kimmy*custis replied to Vicki0618's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Great job Vicki! You are doing fantastic, keep up the good work and best of luck to you! -
Not one regret! I feel completely normal at 13 weeks out, like I never had a surgery. I can eat whatever I want ( had a weird experience with a apple a few weeks back but ok with them now!) and know I will be ok cause I cannot eat much at one time. This surgery has completely changed the way I look at food now. I am loving my life...finally!

Oh No! Mcdonalds For Lunch?
kimmy*custis replied to vampsy's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
You made a perfect choice, I would have not eaten the tortilla but still a good choice...and you can do that at pretty much any restaurant with a little planning, I do it all the time. -
I am not sure but I believe I was 5-6 weeks out before I tried one...no issues either.

6 Days Out
kimmy*custis replied to ValerieSJackson's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Yes, dont even look at the scale for at least 2 weeks, dont torture yourself, I would know...I did it! It will be dropping off like crazy before you know it. -
I cant remember when I tried salad, I am thinking 5-6 weeks, had no issues at all. I have them all the time now with whatever protein I chose for the day...yum!

Thank goodness that is all it was. Get well soon!
