I don't remember. My calories are relative to my Protein. What is your protein goal?

I don't see a problem. What does your NUT say? Edited: because autocorrect.

Bumping. Happy Summer! -
Two thoughts: Sodium Tracking Even if you "cheat", "eat off plan" or whatever you want to call it, still track it. You may be surprised.

Higher BMI with vsg
Inner Surfer Girl replied to Pinkberry2's topic in Weight Loss Surgery Success Stories
I started with a much higher BMI than you and got the sleeve. Everyone in my pre-op class was either getting a sleeve or a band to sleeve conversion. Everyone who was getting the sleeve for the first time was also starting at a BMI of greater than 50. You can absolutely be successful with the sleeve, it just takes longer to reach goal. -

Damn! food police are the worst. If someone took my plate away I would have probably taken off their arm.

How Do You Stay Cool Without Ice Cream?

Ice water! When I am out and about in my car I usually go through a drive-thru and get ice water. -

Family problems
Inner Surfer Girl replied to tanyarahmes's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am so sorry you have to deal with this. I guess it depends on whether or not you want him to be there for you. I can see his point. You are asking him to keep something from his wife. You don't have to tell all of your business, but you may want to consider at least telling her you are having surgery. Best of luck with your decision and with your surgery. -
Glue stitching
Inner Surfer Girl replied to hazelzay's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was told not to rub the incisions and to let the glue fall off by itself. If it naturally fell off I wouldn't worry unless it is painful or doesn't look like it is healing. If in doubt, you can always call your surgeon and ask. -
Obesity Surges among US Women -- 40% Now Obese
Inner Surfer Girl replied to VSGAnn2014's topic in Rants & Raves
Just hazarding a guess, but poverty and lack of access to things like well paying jobs and childcare probably have a lot to do with it. If you have to work 2-3 jobs to make ends meet, and have to raise a family, you don't have a lot of time to exercise, etc. Women in this country are disproportionately impacted by low wages, etc. -

I like premier protein ready to drink, GNC Lean Shake 25 (made with water), Syntrax nectar (made with water), unjury (made with water), carnation no-sugar added breakfast essentials (made with 1% milk), quest (made with water). -
Sleeve vs Bypass
Inner Surfer Girl replied to Anthrogeeke's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Talk to your surgeon about what is right for you. I chose the sleeve and couldn't be happier. -
I want to do yoga. When I am confident that I can get up off of the floor I am taking a class.

Does everyone get the shoulder gas pains?
Inner Surfer Girl replied to Lovin2lose's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I did, but they dissipated within a few days. If you experience has pain you can walk and use a heating pad to help manage the pain and shift the gas out of your system. -
Protein powder
Inner Surfer Girl replied to britt_12's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I usually just use water. I know some people add the sugar free flavorings (like davinci syrup), or even PB2. -
Stalled completely, even gaining some
Inner Surfer Girl replied to stephyr's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
If you are only eating 800-900 calories and are working out twice a day, no wonder you are stalled. Have you talked to your NUT about making sure you are getting enough nutrition for your exercise level? -
Almost there...mama in Kuwait
Inner Surfer Girl replied to ummfaisal's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
Welcome! I was anxious about my surgery since it was first surgery ever. My guess is that compared to delivering twins it will be really easy. -
Wow! Congratulations! This is awesome!
