wishin n prayin

Doing really well. I have my good days and bad days as far as how much protein I get in! I know I need to get into a routine, and door the most part I do. Most of the time I am just not hungry!

I was on the 24th!! How r u doing?

Friday nights have been hamburger night in my family for 40+ years and I think I want a double cheeseburger from Wendy's with large frys and a diet coke oh and a frosty. I THINK that is what I want but what I will have is maybe 2oz of shredded turkey and maybe some soup later! That will make me feel so much better!

I'm sure they do. This is the only one ink have tried. I get it at complete nutrition and i know they give samples.

Welcome! We have the same date!

I take a V-core Vantage, two scoops. With two scoops it has 300 calories, 18 carbs and 50 grams of protein. I mix it with water 16-18 oz or some times I put in 1/2 cup of low fat yogurt. It is the orange creamsicle and I like it. Some times I use the isopure grape with vanilla EAS protein too. I tried the strawberry ones from unjury, yuck! So I stick with what I like. So with that and what I eat, I think I am ding pretty good. Just need to get all my water in too!

I am just at the soft food stage, I have to set a timer to remind me to eat! Never a problem before!! I have a protein/yorgurt shake in the morning (about 50g), I try and go for a walk or go to the gym and then I have cottage cheese, then tuna or turkey or soft cheese and lots of water (which is the hardest part for me). I did notice this week that my weight is NOT going down. I am trying not to stress about it. I just really want to be in the 180s! What are you doing?

So sorry for what you are going through! I feel somewhat like that too, I am/was an emotional eater. My sister and I joked about it last week, I ate when I was depressed, happy, angry, sad, etc...so really I just ate. So now what do I do. Drink (water for now). I hope you find your replacement soon. PS I just started back to the gym and it has helped my attitude.

Hi all- sleeved 9/24 in Denver, Dr Snyder but I live in Fruita.

Feeling pretty good! Sleeved 9/24, HW 225, SW 216 and today 193.6! YIPPEE!!!!

Boy oh boy was I feeling that way last night. That has been my habit for years, late nite eating, just for the company. It's gonna be a tough one for me!

Thank you for the info, ????

Hello all my 9/24's - how was your one week appointment? I seem to be doing well. Finally came home home today! I have lost 13 since surgery- happy about that but for some reason I thought I would be more.

I'm just 9 days out, and the thought of losing my hair frightens me! How much hair are we talking about? All? 75%... Just want to get mentally prepared!

I was sleeved on 9/24 and doing well! Looking forward to my future!

Wish me luck, I am asking for the time off this morning. I think I am more afraid they will say NO than I am of the surgery!

I'm hurting, not gonna lie about that! Gas Pains. Hard to drink anything. On the bright side, it can only get better!!!

IF I can get my B/P down. 170/100 is high, so she asks if I am nervous- well YES!

My surgery is Tuesday and I am nervous about getting all my protein and fluids in, how are you doing it?

Asking for time will no longer be an issue for me! I was laid off yesterday!

September 24th and scared as all get out! Scared of failure!

Hello all, I am still waiting on one more appointment and then it will all be turned over to the insurance. I live in Fruita (Western Colorado) and I have to go to Denver for my surgery. Not really happy about that, however, Dr Snyder seems like a great doctor. Anyone have any feedback?

I got the time off and now have the surgey date: SEPTEMBER 24th!!!!!! That is 11 days away!!!!

I agree! This is what sick time is supposed to b used for!!!
