There are many good protein shakes to choose from. I was on a 10 day protein shake and water diet pre op... no food

Awesome! Thank you

When was the last time you lost 25 lbs in 6 weeks? That's over 4 lbs a week! That's a great loss!!! I've lost just over 45 lbs and gone from an 18/20 to a 14/12 and people still dont say anything. You are still very early out and so far it sounds like your right where you should be. Just stick to your plan because it sounds like your doing great

My prayers are with you that your recovery will be as easy as mine. Congratulations and good luck!

At first it's exciting. .. then it gets expensive. Almost all of my tops are like tents on me now and I have to wear an undershirt to keep from being obscene! I go to Ross or TJ Maxx to get a new pair of jeans about every 3 weeks because I just can't wear my pants too big. I'm not spending a significant amount of money on one size of clothes until my weight loss starts to stabilize. In 9 weeks I've went from a size 20 to a 12-14. Pretty much wear the same pants every day and with a different tent on top.

Search forum for 3 week stall.. You'll feel better

Keep a log of how much Water your drinking so you are sure to hit your goals

Fried food. Only time I've ever thrown up through this whole thing! Stay away... lol

Feel free to add me Seela13

I haven't had any at all

Tried it. Baby food sucks! I can't believe I ever gave that craps to my precious babies

Hmmm... that's a tough one. I've already broken so many bad habits. I think for me the number one thing is to eat more slowly. .. remember it's not a race and since I have such a small amount of food it's ok to take longer to eat it. And exercise. . Remembering how much healthier I feel when I get at least some exercise even if I dont want to.

Ah.. the dreaded food police! I had an "issue" with this big time at thanksgiving. Lol... I threw a fit and it has gotten better. It still happens from time to time but even though annoying I feel it's now out of simple curiosity or concern so I try not to flip out. Going postal seems to have worked for me though! Good luck!

Nsv's are the best. . Congratulations

My surgeon told me he sees the best ling term results in patients that continue to have one protein supplement a day through the first year.

I have an incredibly low tolerance for pain but I was pleasantly surprised at how easy the recovery was. Just dont lay down flat for the first 4-5days!

What a great accomplishment, Especially considering everything you've been through. So glad you have something to celebrate! !! Congratulations

So wonderful for you to have it all figured out! I bow down to your superiority and perfectionism. As for the rest of us stupid people with lives to live... just before the stitches break (normal) that muscle starts hurting bad again for a couple of days. Then all of a sudden it'll be gone. Get some rest and remember not to over do it. You'll be fine

Welcome. . You'll love it here

Take your meds. Almost all of us are given the acid reducer for the first couple of months. It doesn't matter that you never had reflux before, you never had your stomach severed before either. It was prescribed for a reason and taking it is important to your overall health and success.

I don't feel hungry from my stomach. When I'm working I don't always get time to eat and I can feel that my body needs fuel. I get a headache, light headed, weak... must be my new hunger.

Awesome work. .. I'm very impressed.

What a beautiful baby! !!

That is so awesome! Congratulations

Awesome! ! Great start
