I am addicted to egg beaters. They have a new 3 cheese which is so good. I also used egg whites in the beginning and made egg salad with low fat mayo. So good.

Insurance paid for everything.

That's perfect and you won't gain once you add more.

GNC has a pretty good chewable hair vitamin. I enjoy those.

I was told I can never have soda again. I thought I would miss is(I was addicted to diet soda) but have no desire for it.

I only weighed myself when I had my monthly checkup with the doctor and NUT. Now that I am only 8 pounds from my goal...my doctor said to only weigh myself once a week to see how I am doing. I think we can get ourselves nuts weighing ourselves too much. I am down 127 pounds since 10/15...

In the beginning, it's all about the Protein. Did your doctor give you a range for protein?

Gnc had pretty decent chews.

That's great. I am not sure I can. I was addicted!!!!

Isn't the whole point of WLS to make ourselves healthier and to not eat these types of bad foods. Seems to me that this is defeating the whole point of this and were only hurting ourselves. Especially in the beginning stages, we shouldn't allow ourselves the taste of it because it will make us want it down the road. This is just my opinion.

What is the name of the oatmeal supplement you use?

It's not allowed on my plan until goal. My doctors plan is very restrictive. Every doctor is different.

It was disgusting but only lasts a few minutes.

Still have more to lose...

Had it Oct 15th in NY.

I also had mine in October. Been falling out like crazy for 3 months now. Down over 125 pounds and 10 more to go. I hope it stabilizes once I hit maintenance.

The smell is so good. Lol!

I have to vent...it's so aggravating when people get this surgery and then complain that its been 2 days and they didn't lose 100 pounds. Maybe we all have different expectations, but I can't believe people who have just had the surgey and are upset they only lost a "few pounds". This isn't a cure all, miracle...it's hard work and it takes time. I didn't gain 140 pounds in a night....and I am not going to wake up in recovery 140 pounds lighter. I am very happy with my success...but I think I have to leave this forum as there is way too much negativity and I am only about positive things now. Sorry...just so frustrated reading these posts.

My doctor said no to the gummies but the chews are allowed. I enjoy the chewable a from GNC.

I follow my doctors plan exactly. I have a Protein shake for breakfast, one for lunch. They are each 110 calories. 1 snack (usually cottage cheese or Greek yogurt (80 calories) and then dinner is 3 oz protein (egg beaters or fish), 3 oz veggies and if I am not too full I have 3 oz salad with dressing. But I am use too full to eat that. I am down 125 pounds in 7 months.

I was and am still just under 500 and I'm 7 months out. Did the doctor tell you how much you should have? It's more about the protein. Between 60-70.

I didn't like the muscle milk but everyone is different. I love the EAS. I bought cases
