  10. You just have to keep working on it. My guidelines are a little different with not drinking before and after for 30 mins. My routine is 16oz water when I first wake up, then 11 oz shake, another 16oz bottle before lunch, another 16oz bottle before dinner, usually another 11oz shake a few hours after dinner and another 16oz bottle of water. It's all about timing and having that water with you at all times. That's 86 oz of water (I include my shakes). It takes time. I was probably a good month out before I was able to to that daily.
  11. @@txfirefly979 If I could have had this surgery before having my Kids I would have. In my case I put on quit a bit of weight between having all 3 kiddos. There are some ladies on here now that have had the surgery and are now pregnant. They say you only need to Increase your calories by 300 when pregnant. Now with that being said I wouldn't have surgery and then get myself pregnant within a few months..I would defiantly wait a year if I had the choice (Which technically you do). Maybe you can search and find the ladies that are going through it now and ask? I'm just telling you what I've read, no personal experience! My baby making factory is shut down!

    Protein Questions?

    @@Thumper79 I got all my protein in pretty much after the first week. I get at least 90+ grams a day. I am 9 weeks and I've lost almost 40 lbs now. I haven't weighed in a while but last time it was 36.

    @@marbelvsg Depends on the nutrition in your shakes. I drank the premier protein shakes (ready made) and they are 160 cal a piece I had 3-4 a day. Drink LOTS of water!! If you need to, take a water pill for a few days before weigh in and make sure your Bowles are nice and empty! Stay away from salt and sugar!
