@@wannaBthinsoon Ha! I got nothing but time today!! And no he's just lucky because I hate math!

You're welcome!

@@phillyfan99 I drink the ready made premier protein drinks (chocolate) you can buy them at Walmart but I get the 12 packs at SAMs. I've been drinking them since pre-op.They have 30 grams of protein per shake and 1g sugar.

@@phillyfan99 Oh you won't be disappointed! Cookie dough is my number 1 favorite! I just had one for breakfast.

Quest bars! Quest bars! Yay! I love them! I just order two boxes from vitacost (chocolate chip cookie dough and cookie n cream) my favorites! They come 12 in a box. I also ordered the syntrax peanut butter cookie protein powder off a recommendation from another B-pal. Since I haven't tried it yet I Can't give you my opinion but she says its like drinking melted peanut butter ice cream! I got both boxes of quest bars and the powder for 67 bucks! Free shipping and 10 dollars off because My total before the 10 off would have been 75! I LOVE that company. They have the best deals, and I get all my vitamins from there. Anywho...That's probably more than you wanted to know but I just thought I'd share!@@phillyfan99

If your 5'9 with a BMI of 42.8 then that puts you at 290 lbs. your BMR (the amount of calories you burn in a day even if your just laying in bed and don't move ) is roughly 2,241 calories a day. Now, with that being said if you take 400 calories away from that That means your still losing 1841 calories a day. How is your body going to function For a year (healthily) when you are negative 1,841 calories? This just doesn't make any sense. AND why the one year date? If you could even possibly pull that off You would (without moving) burn 671,965 calories in a year. 1 pound is 3500 calories. You divide that into the calories and that would mean you would roughly lose (based on calculations) 191.99 lbs. soooooo Your DR wants you to weigh 98lbs? And that's on just 400 calories God forbid you do 300. This my friend is why you would be deathly ill if not dead.

@@Best No! That's beyond unhealthy! Are You saying your DR is telling you to do that and supervising it? Because if so I would run as far away from that "dr"'as possible. A caloric intake that low for that long is detrimental to your body, especially your vital organs! Thats just flat out ridiculous! And I say that in the nicest way possible. I hope your joking!

@B Autumn My family notices everyday because I so un-shamefully point it out to them!!

@@BarnGirlWK I just looked and it's spring valley brand. I am probably too early out to start losing but this biotin strength Already has a lot of new hair growth coming in and I haven't even lost any yet. I try to be easy on my hair. I don't wash it everyday, I do overnight coconut oil treatments on my hair and hot oil scalp massages. If it falls out then it just does, I have a super cute short hair style already picked out!

@@BarnGirlWK I'm 10 weeks, I take two 5,000 Mcg tablets, I buy them at Walmart.

@@BarnGirlWK I take 10,000 mcg of biotin and I haven't lost any hair....yet. I think it's just luck though. Some lose and a few don't.

@@tamg26k Ok I was just curious. I've kept my protein at 90+ grams since a week after surgery, get all my water, take all my vitamins, so I guess we shall see what happens!

Yay!

I weight maybe every two weeks or so.

@@Comfy_BlueM Ouch that's a hard one but in all honesty he's going to do whatever he wants to do. I don't think there's any thing you can say or do that Is going to make him jump on the bandwagon with his current attitude and thought process. Does he feel good at that weight? I wouldn't think so!! I know it's probably beyond frustrating for you since you had the surgery and (going by your listed numbers) you've lose 105 lbs and are at a healthy weight. I assume he has been with you through that? So why he wouldn't see your Results and not want that for himself is just hard to comprehend. Until he learns that he can in fact live with out "steak,beer, and soda" it looks like he's just going to be planted in front of the TV popping vitamins and hoping for the best. You've done your part by communicating your concerns with him but ultimately It's going to have to be his choice. Good luck girl!@

@@Tubbs216 Do whatever makes you happy. Life is short. Good luck

@RJ'S/beginning oh I'm sure you looked beautiful!

@@tamg26k Also, congratulations to you too! 100 lbs in 6 months is fantastic!

@@imsoglad56 Thats awesome! Congratulations to you both!

@@tamg26k How is the hair situation? Are you losing?

@ Lol funny!! I don't even order my own food any more I just share my 5 yr old. buffets are out of the question entirely.

@@Foreverblessedx3 tiny tummys like to talk.

It's really nice actually!

@@LBS15 Wait, let me clarify that, you won't be "allowed" to drink alcohol for some time (your dr will give you a time frame) depending on your restriction you may only be able to eat a few bits of different things. You can still go out it will just be more about socializing than eating.
