@@Chrystee I guess I'd keep pushing the counseling to see if I could change his mind. All kinds of awesome changes are happening to you right now, physically, emotionally, and hormonal as well. If you feel the need, maybe go talk to someone yourself. You finally feel really great about yourself and what you've accomplished and the most important person in your life is acting like, meh... That is mighty hurtful and I don't blame you for being concerned.

@@rnsamantha Amen Samantha. Thanks for the post, you said it all perfectly.

@@prez You write about failure, but you can't fail unless you give up. Since you wrote on this forum maybe that means you might not be ready to give up yet. I could ask you all the obvious questions, but I'm not going to. I'll ask this one though, have you considered a revision from sleeve to bypass? Would that be an option you would be interested in?

@@prez 40 lbs down in a little over a year? Wow, when was the last time you did that? Believe me, I'm not lighting the world on fire either, but I'm sure a heck of a lot better off now than I was before surgery. I know more than I did before, do you?

Just got home from work, Gas for the generator- check Fill the bathtubs with Water - check Propane tanks are full and the fireplace lights - check Turkey chili in the crockpot - check Veggie platter prepared - check Let it snow

That was a tough time for me as well. Wishing you all the strength you'll need to get through this time. You can do it.

Might be wise, but I do like this mcCarron guy. I don't care what team he is on.

@@Dub I do have PIT for next game.

Sorry

Hey, I'm happy for you and sorry for you all in the same breath. Happy that you have no keto and it wasn't you. But I'm sorry that your boys aren't doing so well. I have to admit I had KC for this game. But I hated to see jj leave like he did. I'm the football pool lady in my circle. I run one all season, and now have a square one going for the super bowl.

@@akreese02 Bravo to you my dear, just what I needed too. Thank you!!!!

@@B-52 An inspiration for sure. Thank you for all your posts. Lisa

@@jensfaboo Congratulations, hope your appointment went well. I was sleeved 12/17/14, I am so grateful.

My surgery was 12/17 of last year. It's been an awesome year. I finished a 3K Saturday, compare that to - being barely able to stand while preparing 2014 Thanksgiving dinner. Best wishes to all of you.

Yeah, 48 lbs in less than 3 months is awesome. What does your doctors' office say since you see them every month?

Yes, under the check in tab is where I found it too. But, I had to log in on via the web, I couldn't find the check in tab on the app.

Here is an example of a typical day for me, the numbers indicate the amount of Protein. Breakfast Hard boiled egg - 6 Mini baby bel light cheese - 6 lunch Extra lean turkey meatballs - 20 dinner Grilled chicken breast - 32 Cottage cheese -6 Snack Almonds - 4 Hope this helps.

I am smack dab in the middle of doing this right now. After kidding myself for the past 1 1/2 months that I "got this" and eating things I shouldn't, not drinking enough and not exercising like I was, now all I am is 1 1/2 months behind in my progress. Granted, I haven't gained anything, but I sure as heck haven't lost either. I have to abstain from anything off plan. I have not learned to balance yet. @@Babbs was there a point in time that you can say you learned this?

Awe, I hear you. It's true, all those you mentioned.....? No. But you knew that already.

@@Carole61 Can I ask why do you ask?

@@CelestialNyx Hey a few weeks have past, how are you feeling now? Hope your nausea is gone and your getting your Protein in. LisaLou

You look so tiny and absolutely wonderful !!! Congrats

The only thing that comes to mind since you can drink water is, how about those Isopure ready to drink flavored drinks. They are of water consistency, meaning not thick like a shake. 40 gr of protein, I, now at 9 mos out cut them in half with water. I have to drink them ice cold as well. But when I need to get protein in, this is my go to and I like the grape flavor. Hope it helps.

Any chance you might be pregnant?
