    To eat or not to eat! LOL!

    Learned some new info about Greek yogurt. I suppose the one I eat every morning falls under the non-true Greek yogurt. But I like it and the granola adds texture which I love.

    Dr. Holden in dfw- other dfw Drs

    I used Dr. Adam Smith. I highly recommend him. He also has nutrition and psych in house. And he also has people who come in to do his stress tests at the same office.

    I want off this ride!

    Good luck! I hope you are able to get sleeved!
  5. Well, I will take one Colace a day until I go. It's taken 3 days before I actually went.
  6. Colace is a good stool softner to take. I took Milk of Mag once and I'll never do it again. If I start having problems with going I take one Colace a day until I 'go'. No cramping or anything.

    Weight loss and underwear

    Even when I was 316lbs I wore Victoria Secret underwear. They have great stretch and several different styles. I'm wearing my a pair of reg briefs now. I've lost 102lbs so my belly has shrunk up some, but I've always worn my underwear under my belly. At my highest weight I was a size 24. Maybe you can give them a try. I love them. Good luck!

    I lost how much?

    I've lost a 2 month old horse, but I can't wait till I lose the complete Oxford Dictionary!
  12. No they said point blank no protein shakes, no adding protein for flavor and no isopure. I called my nutritionist and she said if that's what he said then she is saying one shake a day and that's it. And I agree I think I picked the wrong surgeon You can always change surgeon's for aftercare. You're not stuck with him.

    I Want To See Before & After Pics! (Cont'd)

    I've lost 102lbs so far. I can't believe I was that other person.
  14. You should be getting in protein everyday. You won't start getting it from actual "food" sources until week 4 Week 1 was clear liquids so I got protein from Isopure protein drink Week 2 was full liquids so I got protein from protein shakes and Greek yogurt Weeks 3 was purées so I got protein from protein shakes and mixed in unflavored protein powder into thinks like mashed potatoes. Week 4 was soft foods so I got protein from things like eggs and soft chicken in addition to the sources noted above. Week 5 I started regular foods so I got protein from meat and protein smoothies here and there. Protein oatmeal balls, Greek yogurt, protein oatmeal. Gotta get creative!

  17. My doctor never set a goal for me. The only appt where goal weight was discussed I was asked what I wanted to weigh. I chose 150 and plan to work towards that!
  18. I thought Isopure was terrible too. I haven't touched the stuff since my first week post op. The 2 bottles I had leftover I gave to a friend that was having the surgery.
  19. It's dependent on your insurance. But my first appt just to see if I qualified was Feb. 11th and my surgery was March 25th.
