I was told to never take it again after surgery.

New member. Hoping to find lots of information and support.

Welcome! -
Looks like he didn't love you - his loss! Don't fret - soon the ones who appreciate you for being you will be lining up to dance with you.

In the end, you gotta do it for you. You deserve the best and you certainly deserve the best quality of life for yourself. Taking care of yourself first will reap the benefits you want. I wouldn't go through this for anyone but me. If it gets me that look from an attractive lady or two at the mall, I certainly won't complain!

Why are there 3 billion types of protein powder?
DonRodolfo replied to karpouzian's topic in Protein, Vitamins, and Supplements
The first GNC I went to made me a free sample. I don't know if all GNCs do this, but it can't hurt to ask. -
I need to lose 30lbs in 3 months! HELP!
DonRodolfo replied to Dreamingofhealth's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
If you haven't already, work on taking smaller bites and chewing each bite 20-30 times each. What'll happen is that you'll eat slower and feel full before you finish your plate (vs the other way around) or you'll get tired of eating before the plate is empty. Eating slower has caused me to not eat at much at each meal and is helping me lose weight. I've lost 30 pounds pre-op. -
Wait - what? For which protein shake is a scoop only a half a scoop?

Favorite tracking app?
DonRodolfo replied to asmaclare's topic in Weight Loss Surgery Success Stories
I also teamed my DigiFit with myfitnesspal - works for me! -
Sorry, being moody and snappy sometimes comes with the package . Give him time for the treatment to do its thing. In the meantime, you have us here to lean on.

Hang in there and if he's resistant keep reminding him of the benefits he'll see once he starts treatment (which we're hoping will deliver benefits to you as well!). Let us know how it goes.

Disgusting Protein Shots Beware.
DonRodolfo replied to MsVictorious1020's topic in Protein, Vitamins, and Supplements
I'll warn you in advance - they can be a little tart! I let my coworker sample some and he added Water and thought they were not bad at all. -

Best way to keep track of food intake?
DonRodolfo replied to BriDawn's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Myfitnesspal works for me. It also keeps track of Water consumed and exercise you've done. -
"Eating-too-fast syndrome".... anyone else?
DonRodolfo replied to racoon_439's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I fear this happening to me after I have my surgery. Someone here mentioned an app for Android called "Eat Slower", I plan to lean on it heavily. -
Not so much but that doesn't mean your hubby would have the same symptoms that I did.
-
If you're talking about the "Yes Whey" answers are yes and yes. I wouldn't recommend the "New Whey" at all.

24g for the 8oz I made (the entire envelope) - note that this is considered 4 servings, but only 100 calories or so total. -
Can I tell you that I appreciate what you said here? I wish more people were this honest.

I was diagnosed with it last year. Irritability is one of the symptoms. I was prescribed Axiron which is applied just like underarm deodorant. That didn't work for me so my PCP has me inject myself every other week with Testosterone and that brought my number up. I have more energy now and am less agitated so easily.

How much weight did you loose pre-op?
DonRodolfo replied to rochelle25's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
You're fine - they'd probably have a few words with you if you had gained weight. -
Cool. So how are you feeling about it? Excited? Nervous?

first post op flying experience
DonRodolfo replied to Fiddleman's topic in Weight Loss Surgery Success Stories
Thank you for your post, your story made me smile. I love travel and this has been my hangup as well, except I got over being embarassed asking for the extension belt (still needed it in first class) - I couldn't wedge my behind into a coach seat. I can't even imagine having room on the sides!
