Has anyone used any other flavor besides unflavored Unjury? I only have vanilla and wonder how that work. Think I'll try it!

How do we find you on Facebook? I would be interested in hearing about exercises for loose skin.

There is a drugstore across from my surgeon's office that sells it for $23. It is worth it to me. I have tried the cheaper ones like body fortress from Walmart - the taste is fine but it is a little gritty. Unjury and Syntrax both mix up instantly and absolutely no chalky grit. Totally worth it.

My favorite is still instant coffee (Taster's Choice is my fave) in a vanilla protein shake (Syntrax or Unjury are what I use) and a little sugar-free coffee mate or Torani syrup. Either shake it up or blend with ice. Just like Starbucks!

I tried these this morning. They are wonderful! Not exactly like bread but I think I can get used to them as a substitute. So light and fluffy. Thanks!

I have lost 109 and want to lose about 35 more. Need to get back on the exercise train!

Sugar-free stuff does this to me too. I go from one extreme to the other if I don't take my Benefiber every day. Sorry you're dealing with this. Maybe you could find another doctor that is sleeve-friendly and will take your issue seriously? Good luck!

I've definitely noticed it. Cashiers, salespeople, people in general are more friendly now. I think that people can be uncomfortable around a really heavy person so they don't make eye contact or talk any more than they have to. Sort of like how some people are uncomfortable around a disabled person maybe. They don't know how to act or where to look or what to say. Now I'm more "normal" in appearance they seem more at ease around me.

Wow. That is amazing! Congratulations and keep rocking that sleeve!

That does not sound right. Maybe your nerves in your stomach are still numb from surgery and you just can't feel that you're over-full? Four eggs is way too much. I'm a year out and I don't know if I could even eat 4 eggs at a time. Not that I would ever try. Be careful. Ask your doctor what he/she thinks.

Oh wow thanks guys. Star, the chicken breast sounds great - I will def look for it. Lauranbob: I used to eat fresh mozz and tomatoes a lot - I had forgotten about it. And the cucumber and balsamic sounds delish. Calikat: yes, I have discovered the sugar-free vanilla latte at McD;s. My fave on-the-road treat! And those other suggestions are just what I need. I have done the mini quiches and they are great. I haven't tried the turkey pepperoni but I will and the fruit dip is just what I needed! I don't know why I don't think to go to Eggfaces site. She always has such good ideas. Thanks!!

Maybe that's why I like it! LOL! I also like the Mio energy Green Thunder flavor. I just googled it- Mio says their ice tea does not have caffeine but the energy ones do.

I know this gets asked a lot and I'm sorry. I just can't find what I want with the search function. I tend to snack between Breakfast / lunch and lunch/dinner. But I'm so stuck on the foods and want to find some more interesting ones. Right now it's usually boiled shrimp or cheese and crackers. I know the crackers are carby so I'm looking for something to substitute. I do make the cheese chips sometimes and that's good. But still looking for something that I can keep in the fridge and grab for a quick bite. I have been told over and over by my nut that I need to eat fruit because I get constipated all the time. Maybe all the cheese? So if anyone has a good fruit dip, maybe with greek yogurt, that would be great. Anyway, what are your good, easy, non-constipating non-carby snack foods?

You should get this checked out. I was having flutterings/palpitations and got it checked. Turns out I have premature atrial contractions which are not dangerous but just annoying. They are usually not associated with heart disease, just something that happens in a lot of people who are otherwise healthy. There were annoying enough that I elected to take medicine for it. I take metaprolol. It's cheap and I take 2 a day. If I hadn't went to the cardiologist and got checked out I would be very stressed out and worried. Do yourself a favor and get it checked. Better safe than sorry. And btw, this had nothing to do with the surgery. I was having episodes way back before surgery, but they had stopped for a while.They just came back after surgery but I don't believe it had anything to do with it.

I like the Mio ice tea flavor. I like Mio in general better than Crystal Lite. It doesn't taste AS artificial.
