    Estrogen released from fat cells...who knew?

    I had to give up my hormone shots. I have took one since surgery it caused a huge stall in weight loss. I had hysterectomy in 1997 never took hormones until almost 2 years ago. I am now pre hysterectomy weight.

    water aerobics

    How has it helped with weight loss ? Also how has it helped with stomach and hips ?
  3. I found yesterday water aerobics seem to be working on stomach muscles in lower part of stomach. I could feel it when I was in water working out. It was just like old school exercise in water. Yesterday was first class ever so we will see. Worth a try though.
  4. cheesecake sugar free pudding mix taste ok

    water aerobics

    I thought that also until I called and ask. I told the girl I couldnt swim. She said alot of people actually dont know how to swim. There was a life guard on duty at all times. I was not sure at first when I got in water. I didnt use the belt though. I used a noodle at first, but then i turned it loose and put on side of pool. I also stayed in 4 ft water
  7. I get most of my protein from unjury shakes. I have just been able to increase them. I ahvent tolerated protein to good. I cant eat hardly any food just a few bites

    water aerobics

    I wore shirt and shorts today. It was alot of elderly ladies in there. I gave in and went got the one piece swimsuit. You should be able to wear shorts and t-shirt though
  9. I was told 90-100 grams I am only 5'5
  10. I had the same problem with shakes. I started using unjury chocolate splendor mix with 8 oz almond milk. I can tolerate it. Also I can tolerate advocare berry meal replacement shake. Yes we can have the advocare ones. I learned about them from nutritionist, I had never heard of them. Advocare you mix with water but you can make it thinner. Unjury is like chocolate milk. Unjury also has a chicken broth that is good. You can get a sample pkg. from unjruy. I am almost 4 months post op and can only tolerate these. Hope that helps you.
  11. I will be 4 months out on Feb. 8 and have only lost 64 pounds. i feel in a way that is slow, but I am happy with that lose.

    Skinny Fiber ?

    thanks for the help. I thought the same thing, but wanted someone else's opinion.
  20. Is there a good colon cleanse out there ? Can we use this post op ? I have MOM, I use colace and I have tried miralx. I have a very stubborn system when it comes to going to the bathroom.

    Colon Cleanse please help

    Thanks I bought Metamucil Clear and Natural today. The pharmacist said it would probably be best with the gastric sleeve surgery. I ask about the other one, she said you needed to drink a big glass of water with the kondremul. I explained I couldnt hold over about 2 or 3 oz. so she told me the Metamucil would probably be better. We will see if not I will get the other one. I am seeing alot about skinny fiber. I don't know nothing about it other than you can take it with gastric sleeve surgery, its expensive and suppose to help with weight loss.
