@@sam42 Greek yogurt (best is Total Farge 0% which you can get in Tescos) There are lots of Greek ones but watch the carbs! Cottage cheese, eggs, Milk (highish in carbs though, until in mantenance) Ground beef, turkey, chicken and fish, salmon, halibut shrimps, sardines, light tuna in Water ... Pork is high in Protein too. ( I had fillet of pork with a tiny bit of apple sauce, sprouts, cauliflower and a couple of asparagus for dinner tonight # yum) The Protein powder can be added to coffee (decaf!) and Soups but don't add it when the drink/soup is hot or it will curdle. I also love my protein latte which I have every morning at work. Check out www.myprotein.com - and www.discountsuppliments.com I order a lot through myprotein.com.

@@taysidebell I do, I love it. I used it on and off before having the surgery too and feels it really does keep me accountable.

Congratulations and well done to both of you. Seems you are both right on track! Enjoy shopping in the coming months

You need to really stick to what your team and NUT have suggested especially so early on. I ate a lot of high Protein yogurt and cottage cheese, sticking to the Protein drinks and adding a food every other day and being very careful and over zelous with the puree machine I used. Take it slow so you know what works and doesn't work for you. Best of luck and congratulations on the surgery

Best of luck, fingers, toes and eyelashes crossed for you! Let us know how it goes

Great NSV

Ketosis breath.... shudders. My poor hubby and family lol.

Congratulations, you are an amazing woman and a real good example of how we should work with our sleeve! Four years and maintainging, wow

@@heather5565 I have gone past my goal.. should I change mine too, maybe, no, yes, what if I stall then I will have failed lol

Can you pal up with a buddy to help you through bad times? Or see a therapist around your eating habits, who can support you to make lifelong changes? The first year is going to be when you lose the weight so the sooner you nip this in the bud the better. Do you take account of what you eat, write it down or use a tracker app? Are you having enough Protein/water etc? I have a Protein bar (choc flavoured) which gets me over the chocolate fix. Its very low carbs and about 200 calories so not too bad. I love them but my hubby thinks they taste like MDF, not that hes ever eaten MDF lol! You CAN do it !! Have faith in yourself and the lovely new tiny sleeve you have

Prayers for you both. Please let us know how she gets on!

Monday 14/12/2015 I am 148.8. Hope you had a great time on holiday Steph

I use centrum advanced one which melt in the mouth. My bloods have been excellent.

You need to really work towards getting a minimum of 60g of protein if you can Sam. I know it's hard early on but it's vital.

It is Sam!!!

@@taysidebell Nice to meet you and congratulations on such a great weight loss!

Amazing! Congratulations, you look fantastic. I really enjoyed your post. I can relate to the nose running! I carry tissues round with me all the time

I am still on chewable Vitamins but my other tablets re quite small and have never been an issue. I stuck to the suggested 3 months of not taking tablets, rather liquids or ones that melt in the mouth.

I LOVE this, made me smile so much. Congratulations on the upcoming surgery and best wishes for a speedy recovery

I will save you a place on the bench! Best wishes for tomorrow and a speedy recovery.????

Not for me.

I have just been to Cuba on holiday and was worried about getting enough protein. I had eggs every morning with a bit of ham and cheese which set me up for the day. Lunch was fish or chicken and so was dinner. I took low carb protein bars in case it was difficult getting enough protein in. In fact it was fine.

Welcome to the forums! I can't help with insurance but just wanted to say hello and enjoy

I feel the cold so much more now than before. Now I wear gloves when I go out, I bought a very warm coat and have the heating on much earlier than I would. Isn't it a fact that your metabolism works harder when you are cold
