Thanks so much everyone

Ok here it is week 1 of the weigh in! I'm excited and nervous and I'm hoping to have lost at least a pound lol! Here goes nothing: last week: 190 this week 04/27: 187.6 (aunt flow arrived) Down 2.4 lbs yay!!!! So I am no longer on my plateau thank god I was starting to get worried because I wasn't loosing!

I had RNY on January 11, 2012 my starting weight was 247 and I got down to 180 gained up to 190 and I'm currently at 187!

I made another thread for this Friday lol!

It's really up to you I had gastric because I heard too many horror stories about the band!

People loose weight at different rates so you just could be loosing slower than others...not the news you want to hear....I know! I have heard loosing the weight also depends on how overweight you were before surgery so that could also be another reason!

I am wondering if there is anyone here that is on a plateau that would like to do the 5 day pouch test with me?!? I need all the encouragement I can get. Last week I weighed in at 180 and today my scale is trying to lie to me and tell me that I weigh 191 which is an 11 lb gain......I'm going crazy because I feel like I'm doing everything right except maybe getting in all my protein so that's why I'm trying to find a buddy to do the 5 day pouch test with me!!

Your welcome!

I do a couple different ones lol I like variety! One thing I can tell you is a blender makes a big difference when it comes to frothy or thickness! I make my shakes ahead of time so that they aren't frothy! But I use myoplex, carnation instant breakfast, unjury and the syntrax nectars and their shakes lol!

I'm not sure if you can buy them in the store but best bet would be somewhere like gnc but I buy mine online!

Good luck both of y'all!

Girl I don't blame you when I think about trying it it just turns like stomach too!!! I did exactly what you are doing I took it one day at a time something's didn't work and some do!

Anjela most definitely worth it!!! If I had to do over again I would in a heartbeat! I couldn't imagine loosing the weight I have without my new weight loss tool! I'm just getting frustrated because I weighed 180 got up to 190 and I feel smaller but it's not coming off like I want it to!

Losingit the nectars are absolutely yummy!!! Which flavors did you get!!

Amyrae I'm in va not far from Raleigh!

It was hard the 1st day but yesterday I didn't even want to eat! Got in over 60 g of protein! I haven't weighed myself in almost a week I'm doing the Friday weigh in so I can't let myself cheat!

I stayed for 3 days from what I understand you have to get an upper gi done to make sure everything is a go and also you have to be up walking and taking in at least 4 ozs in an hour

That's what I'm hoping I'm looking slimmer and slimmer so I've got my fingers crossed for weight loss this week

Anjela I use my fitness pal too!! I love how it always tells you eating only between 600-800 can cause your body to starve lol!!

Hang in there!!

I go through plateaus every 3 weeks!

Congrats!! My best friend had The gastric sleeve done on the 17th!

Thanks so much kmiller!

Try the syntrax nectars they are tasty!!! Also you could blend some fruit, ice, milk, and protein powder.....makes the best smoothie!! Also try unflavored protein powder in pudding or yogurt!!!

I'm glad your doing so well Berniec!!! I was wondering when we were going to hear from you! Glad you made it!
