Does it help to dilute them some so they're not so tart? I've got a bottle sitting in my fridge that I've been too scared to try yet! lol

I really like the Muscle Milk Light no sugar added RTD's. I like the banana creme muscle milk light powder too.

I came home weighing 13 lbs more after surgery than I did when I went in for surgery. I've lost that now...tomorrow will be one week but I'm definitely still a little swollen in my abdomen. It's still a bit sore too.

Hi Shasta, Congratulations and best wishes on your surgery next week! Go to Graphical Tickers and Trackers: Weight Loss, Trying To Conceive, Pregnancy... and go through the steps. Afterwards it will give you code to copy and paste..you will go to your user cp here and click on edit signature on the left hand side. Paste that code there.

Hey I see you're from Louisiana! Me too...I'm in Mandeville. Who's doing your surgery?

Congratulations and welcome! Do you have to do a pre-op diet? There are several band to sleeve revisions here so you're in good company! Please keep us posted on your progress.

OMG..I know EXACTLY what you mean! I can't even do broth..it makes me want to hurl. And I've never been so aware of tv commercials about food! I can eat a whole jello cup at one time..just not first thing in the morning. I tried that the other day and could only eat 3 bites. But after a while...no problem. I was able to start drinking Protein shakes on day 5 and I've never been so glad for something in my life...just for some variety! Next weekend on day 10 I can add yogurt, creamed Soups, and sf pudding.

She told me it wasn't the best thing to drink..that it had a little too much calories. But...2 scoops of my prescriptfit powder gives me 220 calories and 28 g of Protein in about 12 oz. of Water. The OhYEah! is a 14 oz. bottle..although they do have 8 oz bottles also. She also said she'd prefer I find something with isolate over concentrate. It figures the one I really LIKE is the one I really shouldn't have!

DAMN! 17 lbs in 2 weeks???? That's fabulous!

I have my post op appt today and I think I'm also meeting with the nutritionist so I think I will bring her a bottle and show her and see what she thinks. I'll also bring my container of muscle milk light. I'll let ya'll know what she says!

I have no idea!

I got them at GNC. I did find them at several places online as well but I wanted to make sure it was an OK source of protein before I ordered a few cases of it!

Great job! Especially on that walking! That's going to be really tough for me. Exercise is going to come very slow but I'm hoping as I lose some weight that my back will be able to take more and I'll be able to walk more. Up till now, I couldn't even walk around the block or even just stand up at my kitchen sink doing dishes for more than about 5-10 minutes without being in extreme pain. All I've been able to do so far is walk up and down my driveway several times several times a day.

I've never heard of it! What is it?

Good Luck Jack! We'll be thinking about you! Post as soon as you can and let us know how you're doing! *hugs*

All day long I burp. This constant feeling of needing to burp is annoying. Is this something that is going to stay with me forever or is this still part of getting rid of all the gas they pumped into me?

Welcome! Do you have any idea when you might have surgery?

Welcome to the boards! It's a great support system!

Good luck to you! Wishing you all the best for a smooth surgery and a speedy recovery! Please post as soon as you are able!

yep I read that too...I think that with that much larger size they were leaving too much of the stretchy part of the stomach in and regain was a big issue because it was just stretching out. And yeah I bet Tiff does know all the deets. lol

I bet that feels just great!! Congratulations!

I "think" my surgeon used a 34

Welcome Brian! We are very glad you decided to post and introduce yourself. Just consider us part of your extended family now! I'm very sorry for your loss and I think it's wonderful that you have devoted yourself to your children. I had the same fears as you...my husband did as well. He was worried I wouldn't wake up from surgery or that something would go horribly wrong during the surgery. Of course it's a fear but I knew the risk of dying of a heart attack or stroke from my other health issue related to being overweight were much greater. Doing this for yourself and getting yourself healthy is the greatest gift you can give to your children. Congratulations on your decision and please keep posting! We will all be here for you! Do you have a surgery date yet?

I've never been one to throw up easily. I haven't had any nausea whatsoever and haven't even come close to throwing up.

lol BJean!! That there ticker looks mighty nice! lol
