Gus

kinda wondering why most surgeons reccommend whey protien instead of the isolat with zero carbs i always thoguht whey protien made you gain weight and the zero carb actually did the same as the whey but without the carb intake which would eventually help with weight loss. Can someone please enlighten me on this???

thanks guys will keep my eyes peeled to all of this probably goin to tough it out with the isolate

gum

water...juice... lol

lioness thanks alot!! yea i feel great just trying keep at it n get back in the gym

Ok im practically new with the surgery only 7 weeks but according to the scale 39 lbs down so

TeachAmy im glad the post is helpful and i knw they say chew to that point but even so sometimes honestly it doesnt happen sometimes you swallw without even noticing and then think oh thats going to bite me in the butt later.... but again its all part of the decision we made or in your case will make and trust me i think it is still worth it i wish you well on your surgery and it will truely be a rollercoaster ride but at the end youll be so much stronger

Well its probably nothing but i was excited about being cleared for normal foods but for some reason i cant really have more than a bite of anything because i have a nauseating feeling and want to puke and its pretty painful i guess its just adjustment issues but it gets old quick and there are times i jus wish to quit foods all together liquids are extremely fine like fruit smoothies, water juice or stuff like that. ALso i have read the usually the stomach is still irritated and mayb swollen still from the procedure up to 8 weeks so could be that too anyone have this issue but on the plus side lost 3 more pounds lol so there is a bright side.

yea ive had that one usually its annoying gas bubble pretty painful but itll go eventually

DreamBig yea i can relate to your feelings sometimes it feels like ive swallowed a brick! and i jus pace around my house hoping to walk it off but it does get to the point where ive gone back to the previous diet for the whole day just because that feeling is horriblebut like Aspiring Evangilist said hang in there it´ll get easier in due time. Thanx for sharing ur experience with this.

hey thanx for the advice Aspiring yea thats exactly how i feel trying to get in 3 meals a day feels impossible. YEa i have been trying to change it up every chance i get but ive seen i can tolerate foods but cant mix for example il have grilled chicken and some steamed brocolli a real small amount but couldnt hold it down now if i just have chicken thats fine or just veggies thats fine too. but i do hope swelling goes down and can get some food in and thanx about my weight loss im pretty surprised myself plus now that im going back to the gym i hope to keep it up at this pace if not well then hey life goes on! hope your journey is going well also

im also 6weeks out and down 36lbs. hopefully i make 40 by november jusst going to add some elbow grease work hard maybe by december ill be a different person

u can always crush them not going to be best taste but itll get the job done

well just got back from the doctor and i had taken in some blood work to see my current state he was impressed. Ive lost 36 pounds and feel pretty good. Well the good news for me personally started when he said well now you can eat pretty much anything slowly but surely,he finally decided to put me on protien supplement and some type of vitamins which i am estatic about since i was into the whole gym thing before i injured my back an opted weight loss surgery and most of all i can finally go back to the gym also i can finally go swimming whoch is important since i live in the caribbean being surrounded by beaches and pools and only soaking my feet was torture well this was just a happy rant hope you dont mind! thanks

mostly everyone here has 50 or more pounds to loose anyone who doesnt probably wont need surgery. Also everyones body is different and assumes the surgery their own way but i have lost 36 pounds in a month and a half no complaints what so ever.

To sum it all up Relax dont take it the wrong way you might be filled to the brim with gas or like tapsnap said you might be filled with water retention.Trust me itll come off and dont get worried too quick because you will stall again its normal to stall just have faith enjoy your new life dont over stress yourself about it itll come off eventually it has no choice. ALSO when your not losing pounds you might be just losing inches so verify that too

i said i wont lie about it because im proud of the life changing decision i came to but i will warn you the Questions get boring quick!! number one most asked question How Much Have You Lost?! and i just say idk What do you mean you dont know? 2.Are you goin to have loose skin? 3. DID it hurt? 4.HOw long til you can eat? 5.can you have sex?? like really i had weight loss surgery i wasnt castrated lol so just have a sense of humor when all these pop up because they will. also the most annoying part is whe your close friends that know say it for you ¨Yea he just had surgery hes lookin thinner than ever¨and im just like DUDE! i dont even know this person lol if i was the one with surgery why the hell would u say anything about it and not me lol its like their personal achievement that i had surgery.But hey its all cool if this happens to you dont worry itll get more akward as we go. Anyother questions that get you bored quick???? ohh almost forgot another one you know you have to get back in the gym quick so you can buff and tone up!!! NO $h&% SHERLOCK lol but its all love

jajaja totally agree!! jajaja i totally agree!

i just told them the truth matter of fact i told them before they even asked jajaja ive never been keen to feeling ashamed of anything why start now i am an adult and i do with my life and money as i please and especially if its a positive health wise for me pretty much blocks any neg. feedback about it.

it can be due to a couple of reasons maybe caloric intake or diet plan might need a change or change your workout routine the body is an amazing tool but also a stubborn one it tends to adapt to situations and timing so maybe changing things up can help shock your body back into track but thats just my opinion.

just wondering anyone here used animal pack yet i was wondering how were you taking animal pack multi vit.. and or if were they harsh on ur stomach?

yea i know the pills are huge but i was planning to take them as the site suggests if they are to big to handle crushed into your protien shake. nut thanks on sharing how they made your stomach feel. how long after surgery did you begin taking them??

so i started my 4th week post op and my doc told me i should start walking atleast 15 min a day to get some excercise but i shouldt do nothing excesive but i wndered if i can walk my dog while i do so but i have a pitbull which my boy is pretty fit alot better than i am at the moment but he still needs his daily walks anyone with a similar issue and experience??
