Wow thank you for sharing with us, those sound great and will definitely have to try some. I'm so jealous. Our center does Staples and boy do they irritate the heck out of me!! I'm finally getting used to them though. I for the first time since being home from the hospital got to sleep on my side snuggled with my body pillow!!! It was amazing. My husband says, jeez you think since you can sleep on your side you'd want to cuddle. . . I said, yeah I did, my pillow lol. I have missed that (over food) the most! Everyday is something new and exciting. I should look into getting a nutri bullet a lot of people have them, huh. I have MFP but haven't used it since I started this and only on liquids. I will start up on Thursday when Staples come out and next diet stage begins.. Please keep me/us updated and GREAT JOB!!!

@@Carriejess, I am 9 days po and already have this concern. I too have a 2 & 4 year old. I know I am going thru this process to change lifestyle habits and eat better, but I have always had a piece of this, piece of that when feeding my girls. I've caught myself already in the morning when I've made them their three cheese scrambled eggs.

Awesome!! So happy you found something that will work for you.

Hi @@tanya131313 have you tried liquid isopure with ice to dilute it and add a packet of crystal lite fruit punch?? I have a whole msg I posted earlier this evening on the GB forum about this topic. I too couldn't take in protein until I did this trick. It helps. I now get ally protein in. I use the alpine punch isopure drink.

Thank you. Sounds yummy. I'll take a look at our market and see if they carry it.

We need to do whatever works! Even Google the brand and see if a local store near you carries it. I promise you won't regret it and will be taking in 60g in no time.

Your very welcome. I have been speaking with quite a few people who have been having difficulty with their protein Intake bc they're so fresh from surgery that I thought if this has helped me drastically finally get in all my protein I need to share it so it may be helpful for others to do the same. I actually look forward to drinking it!!! What a difference from four days ago lol.

@@OregonTeacher, are you near a GNC? This is the ONLY way I've reached my protein goal... There is a liquid protein called Isopure. I got 'Alpine Punch' which is like Fruit Punch. It is 11.3oz but packs 40g of protein in it. I pour it in a glass, MIX Fruit Punch Crystal Lite with it and then add ice. I let it all dilute a bit and let me tell you it is just DELICIOUS! If you don't do the other two steps, the initial taste is ok but the after taste is blah like an aspertain taste... I strongly urge you try this so you can be lifted to your next stage as this was my last option otherwise they would've kept me another two weeks this upcoming Thursday if I didn't find a solution as well.

Great minds bc this coffee is FREAKING delish! They consider jello a liquid, if not I would be screwed bc it kinda tricks my mind that I'm getting more in bc I have more consistency with it.

I'm starved. Like super hungry and this has not even remotely been me this past week. I've gotten in all my protein, drank a TON of fluids, it had broth, SF Jello and pudding today. Is this my body telling me it's ready for stage 4?? I wouldn't do until I. Speak with my center but that won't be till tmrw now, I just kept drinking. Not all at once. I'll do a cpl Oz make sure the pouch is OK and then I wait ten min or so and drink more... Wth can I do??!

Does anyone know the appropriate length fr GB when you can have intercourse? They said, driving light activity and so on was ok... So??

LMAO!!! Just may be able to get my hubby in a better mood after all

Makes sense!! Cup of coffee coming my way!

I am going to do my coffee bc I am dying for some. I've been so good with everything but decaf is in no way doing it for me. All in moderation. One cup a day.

I feel like I'm ready but nervous if I may damage something inside somehow since everything is all stapled up lol. Did you have any discomfort @@Band07?

Thank you. I'm on full liquids and can drink protein, milk and things that aren't clear.

Silly question. Is Jello SF pudding ok or just the gelatin? First time so far, no matter my liquid intake I'm feeling pretty hungry...

That's great news. Before you know it that stall will be over and poof another x amount of lbs gone! 30 lbs impressive. Your breakfast sounds delish. Now that I have switched to the Isopure liquid protein there's no problem with reaching my goal!!! I like the Alpine punch chilled on ice an hour before I drink and mix a packet of fruit punch Crysta lite pack with it. And it's delicious. Perhaps you can try that. For an 11oz bottle it's 40 of protein.

@@kaseyw0od So glad to hear that. Keep up that good work. Praying for the rest of the day to go well and you can go home!

That is fantastic!!! Congratulations.

Hoping your out of surgery and everything went well. Thinking of you.
