Weird philosophical thinking?
gamergirl replied to marfar7's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

The purest one I found was Now foods unflavored whey isolate (amazon has it). I believe unjury makes one like that too. You can add your own natural flavors since I don't think it's edible plain (not tasty I hear) but it does dissolve well. Juice seems like the best option early I'm, fruits blended in later.

I wish I could! I love to cook and let me tell you, we will be having a LOT of leftovers. I could barely finish 3 oz of it, R finished 6 oz. -

gamergirl replied to janie2024's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My husband and I had surgery August 2nd, and I'm blogging what the first few days are like. If you're interested to know some details, you can check this out: http://www.verticalsleevetalk.com/blog/2549/entry-6551-what-a-difference-6-days-can-make/ http://www.verticalsleevetalk.com/blog/2549/entry-6552-day-six-of-post-op-brain-fuzz/ http://www.verticalsleevetalk.com/blog/2549/entry-6557-day-seven-of-post-op-friday/ I hope it's helpful to someone. -
I really, really wish I could. I own my own business and while my employees rock, sometimes clients don't appreciate that you can't be there for them. I'm really trying not to overdo it.

Day Six (Thursday) Since I was feeling so much better, I thought I'd be able to work today. I'm realizing that physical recover and mental alertness are NOT the same thing. I'm in a complete daze and am having so much trouble focusing. I wasted the entire morning in front of the computer doing....I have no idea what. Nothing to show for it. Three meetings in a row took it out of me. Then I had to go to Dallas for a meeting and R offered to drive me. Well, his brain isn't working any better than mine. We were late getting out of the house due to poor decision making. We got lost on the way because we couldn't talk and drive at the same time apparently. By the time we got there, we were both stressed and late. By the time we finished the meeting and started back home in rush hour, getting lost a couple of times--seriously it was ridiculous. I mean we have a GPS! and 2 iphones and 2 ipads and we couldn't find our way back home!--we were so tired. Again fuzzy decisioning, we decide to go to a restaurant to get a spicy drink. We get to the restaurant and realize the drink has too much sugar. So we go to the Indian grocery and then spend an hour trying to get tins to fit together. Don't ask. Utter stupidity, but done with great concentration and dedication. At the end of this we are SO tired, that when we get home, I can't even make myself get up to take my makeup off. Both of us are bone tired. I was not prepared for this. I just thought if we felt better, we'd be back to normal. Apparently recovery takes longer than 6 days. Who woulda thunk?

5 months-62 pounds-bmi 29-pics included
gamergirl replied to tmbasuhre's topic in Weight Loss Surgery Success Stories
How cool to see that progression of pics! It really shoes the changes. Congratulations! -
We do that all the time. I don't even have a soda stream but we buy the diet flavors. The cola, ginger ale, root beers don't work with Water. But grapefruit, fruit punch, cranberry pomegranate, and to some extent orange work very well. I like being able to lightly flavor the water instead of following the ultra sweet proportions. My husband has made shakes with unflavored Protein and those flavors. Cranberry pomegranate is excellent made that way.

I mocked up a vegetarian day and I see how one can do it, if anyone else is trying to find an answer.

I'm so happy to see this thread! I posted asking about vegetarian sleevers for non-meat ways to hit protein goals-or at least one non-meat meal a day and this gives me hope. Thanks!
