Ms.DLH

You AMAZE me! You look fabulous!!! Great Job, keep it up! I myself am 3 mo. out and 60# down :-) it's soooo exciting!!! Question, how tall are you Hollirrose?

Yes, 5 individual packets.

Hi, thanks! My goal is around 160# (aiming for a healthy/normal BMI), I'm 5'7.5" I started at 301.7# I'm now 243# at -58# @ 3 months

Btw, you're very welcome!

I have several, message me you interests and I'll share what I've created I'm working on typing them out so I can share. Same ol' same ol' gets boring real quick! Especially in the 2 week shake only phase!

Great job!!! Keep it up

Thanks ladies! I appreciate the encouragement! You girls keep up the hard work too!

I've finally perfected my personal favorite Protein shake :-) & now I shall share it with all of you If you love coffee + chocolate… Enjoy! chocolate Classic® Mocha Shake (or Iced Coffee): •8oz 1% milk •1 scoop Chocolate Classic Unjury® Powder (can be purchased online @ www.Unjury.com) •1 1/2 Tbps. Unsweetened Cocoa Powder (I use Hershey's®) •2 Tbps. Decaf. Instant Coffee (1 1/2 Tbps. for a weaker coffee taste) •5 Splenda® (4 if using 1 1/2 coffee) •Add Ice to cup until full (I use a beverage blender, it works best in my opinion) Blend until ice is smooth, but don't over blend or your drink will be liquid)...if it is liquid add ice cubes afterwards & it's still a delicious iced!!! Let me know how you like it, if you try it ♪♥D'Anna♥♪

I recommend my surgeon, Dr. Roc W. Bauman, he's excellent!!!! He's very serious about my care & his patients! He's the Doctor of Carolinas Weight Loss Surgery in Concord, NC. He practices as Medical Director of Bariatric Surgery @ CMC Northeast. He is accredited & his practice is considered a "Center of Excellence". Over 2500 surgeries with positive results. He personally offers free info sessions at his office...it's on the website when they're having a session. I think it's worth the time & they're very informative!!! Worth taking a listen to, especially if your in search of a surgeon or information!!! There's no obligation, it's just to educate YOU! WEBSITE: www.carolinasweightlosssurgery.com Hopeful this is helpful to those in NC area. I honestly wouldn't have considered a doctor without a rating like his. ***BE SAFE & REMEMBER TO DO YOUR RESEARCH!!! CWLS Office # 704-403-7580 His staff are awesome too! TAKE CARE Ms.DLH

We have the same doc!

Hello! Glad you're doing well!

You need to contact the hospital administrator immediately!!!! They should have a care line that you can call for someone to help you. Hopefully this helps.

I'm so thankful life is beginning to change for the better :-) -33.9 Total Pre-op + Post-op & Since Surgery (2wk) -17.2# Blessed!

Thank you ALL!!!! And YES, WE ALL WILL BE SUCCESSFUL!! Life has been a journey, and now it's just going to get better :-) It's so great to have this circle of friends aand the support we all can share...I need it!!!

@Summer, Unjury is good. I didn't care for the strawberry sorbet. The chocolate classic & vanilla are good, splendor is really sweet. & Unflavored is good for mixing w/ foods/soup.

I love my mocha Protein shake ... 1 scoop unjury chocolate Classic powder 8oz. 1% milk 1 tsp. Unsweetened cocoa powder 1 tsp. Instant decaf coffee A few ice cubes Blend & enjoy! 29 grams of protein!

Next Thursday!!! I can begin soft foods, does anyone have any yummy recipes they'll share? Looking for recipes I can prepare for myself?

Dont give up! It's only the beginning, things will heal! Some people just take a different route in getting well. I'm healing slowly too. Yesterday was my first day since surgery (10/25) that I got all my Protein consumed...still working on my Water... This too shall pass, stay plugged in for support and keep your chin up!!

Correction...@JBurkley...sorry

Congratulations on your 78lb loss @Jberkley!

@shellee, Completely normal! Good luck to you! I myself, am one week post-op tomorrow. :-)

Anytime hope it's helpful.
