Goonie

Thank you, Lateese92!

Hi there! Is it too late to join? If I can join my stats are: CW-180 GW-169...I know it's only 11 pounds but holy cow, I've been in a super stall & am hoping a challenge is just what i need.... If it is too late to join then there are my stats anyway, LOL

So for a while now I've been feeling crummy after drinking/eating protein shakes & bars....my dr. suggested taking a new whey protein shot in order to get all my protein in. So I choked it down yesterday...within minutes I was nauseated. Long story short I lost 3 pounds last night & feel like my abs had a weeks worth of working out (if I weren't feeling so weak I'd consider it a victory) I don't think I'm stretching it when I believe I have a whey protein issue...my question is....does anyone else have this? If so, can you recommend any non whey shakes or bars? Grazie!

Truffle shuffle..LOL! I'm actually in Portland/Beaverton...just a die hard Goonies fan????. Good to hear you're feeling better....it's quite the ride!

Hi there! I had issues with isopure first....but thank you for the suggestion. Sorry you had issues too!

It took me 6 weeks to feel "normal". 8 weeks to feel good/energetic! You'll get there, it just takes time....believe me it's much easier to say that at 5 months out....those first few weeks just dragged for me. Take care!

192....congrats to all who made goal!

195....it's coming off SLOWLY now but it's still coming off (or I've shed 2 lbs of hair this week...feels like a possibility)

197 Thank you!

199!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

202!!!!!

107...waa..waa...waa

I'm sure you can...it's that insanely loud gurgling-creaking-moan like craziness that is being created by my midsection now...holy crapoli, it's embarrassing & it does not seem to care that I'm completely annoyed by it...I just hit three months & the dang thing does not shut up...is it my stomach trying to desperately alert me that it's still there & it misses it's friend Doritos? Or are all my other organs loudly taunting the now streamlined stomach? Does it end? Will my core ever be quiet again? I need a loud hobby to drown out all this noise....but seriously people...DOES IT QUIET DOWN???

@finediva...I only had a few noises post op..but on Monday when it hit 3 months it started creaking & has not shut up!!! I had 2 people at the grocery store today ask me if I was hungry...just the kind of question a wls patient wants to be asked, lol! Maybe you're just advanced or on a brighter note maybe your belly is getting all the talking done early out .

Congratulations!

Congratulations...so inspiring!

I'm posting a bit early as I won't be home most of tomorrow...I "get" to chaperone a bunch of 7 year olds to scout camp (keyword, get). And post camp I plan having on needing an adult beverage or three My current weight is 208 Woot woot & thanks for doing this!

Congratulations! You look amazing!

I was extremely exhausted the first few weeks...lack of calories=lack of energy. At 4 weeks post surgery I was more energetic. At 6 weeks I felt normal. At 8 weeks I felt better than I had in years...I'm currently 12 weeks out & am so happy with my surgery...that first month was harder for me to recover from than my c-sections...it will get better!!!

Today 7/14 212.. Thank you!!!

Most people begin to lose hair at, or around, 3 months post op....I'm a few days shy of 2 months & am a hair shedding machine....seriously, if I were to shake my head near my 3 year old I'm afraid I'd bury her in a sea of (my former) golden locks....of all the things to be "advanced" in...

Awesome! Good luck all!!!
