Great idea for a thread! ???? These frozen Greek yogurt pops are awesome!! I like the strawberry and blueberry the best. I put a coconut one, I put it on my ninja blender with a chocolate Protein shake....OMG it was sooo delicious! http://www.yasso.com

Have you tried making your own protein shakes? Skim milk, Greek yogurt, SF flavor syrups. I also use a tablespoon of SF/FF pudding powder in my smoothies and they are delish Hang in there....it will get better! ????

I did!! I was sleeved 12/30, I'm 10 post-op and had a follow up with my surgeon yesterday and he have me the green light to work out. I went today and it felt great!

DeezJeanz, my caboose buddy!!! You are in my prayers daily. I look on here everyday to see how you are. I can't wait till your feeling better!!! Keep us updated!

Hi everyone! I'm finally a week post op and ready to start logging my stats...yay! 36 female, 5'3" HW 290 SW 269 (12/30) CW 260 (1 week post op)

Starbucks Chai Tea Latte Nutrition Facts Serving Size: 16 fl.oz (448.0 g) Amount Per Serving % Daily Values Calories 200 Cholesterol 5mg 2% Sodium 95mg 4% Total Carbohydrates 44.0g 15% Sugars 42.0g Protein 8.0g If you have a smart phone they have several calorie counting apps. I love My Net Diary bc it will look up anything (generic and brand name items) and give you the full nut value not just calories. Then when you track it, at the end of the day it tallies up your total protein, calories, fat, carbs etc.

Before my surgery today my final weight loss for pre-op liquids was 21lbs! Surgery went great, I have very ill pain and no gas pressure. So excited to get home and start my 2nd chance at LIFE!!!!

On my way to the hospital. Best wishes to a my fellow 30'ers!!!! Make some room on that losers bench.....HERE WE COME!!!!

Hi guys! I'm 36yo 5'3" and my surgery is 12/30/13 Today is day 5 of my 24 day liquid pre-op and I'm already down 9lbs!! Started at 286.7 and my ultimate goal would to be 150. So put me down for 130 to lose!

Make yourself a cheat sheet of generic items. Portion size, nutritional info and calories. Also they will have computers on the ship that is much cheaper to access. Try and log on once a day for a few minutes or every other day. That might help you feel more in touch with your food logs

While I haven't been on a cruise POST OP, I have recently went on a cruise and I thought about what they had. First let me say there's a TON of options!! At every restaurant they are very happy to accommodate and please their guests. All the buffets have soups, yogurts, cottage cheese, applesauce, scrambled eggs etc. If I were in your shoes, I would pack stuff from home just in case. There will be a fridge in your room. Have so much fun!!!
