Haha- amazing- now let's see if it lasts long enough to actually moisturise your lips sounds delish! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I ordered a pair of skinny jeans and they were too big (size 16)! I also can't remember the last time I weighed this, which means it was probably about 10 years ago. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

That's an amazing amount- well done! I have had a couple of comments, and find it hard to know what to say.. "Just watching what I eat..?!" I'm the same with exercise, although I'm trying to commit to walking to and from work.. Trying.. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Hey no worries- we're all here to help each other out right? Glad to hear you're feeling better about it all. Are you getting a bunch of comments from people now? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Congratulations! That's such a wonderful feeling- jolly well done! How's the eternal quest for protein going? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I also have one of the Bulk powder shakes for Breakfast every day, although I ordered four flavours in bulk and man are they getting old! I've also noticed that Tesco and Sainsburys are pretty good at keeping Protein shakes in the chiller near the milk, and although they are hideously expensive and you have to watch the sugar on some of them, they are good in a bind. I also ordered some Lavash bread from muscle food, which was really good for fake pizza as it's nice and soft. Just beware - the sweet treats from muscle food are all DENSE and the last time I tried a protein waffle it did not end well! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Hey all, I have the Nature Valley Protein bars as an afternoon snack. They're only 10g of protein but I find they help me meet my daily goals and taste either like snickers (chocolate peanut) or maple syrup (peanut yoghurt). Most supermarkets sell them (although I tend to stock up when they are £2 or below). As a treat I also like the Eat Natural Protein Bars (peanut and chocolate)- super delicious and coconutty and 10g protein too. A little higher on the calories, but worth it for the taste. I also picked up some Maxi Nutrition bars from costco, although found these to be the stodgy, powdery kind of bars, which personally make me gag a bit. Other half seems to like them and they come in chocolate caramel flavour. Also just remembered that we ordered some flapjacks from muscle food which were a bit dense for me but pack an enormous amount of protein into a relatively small portion. Probably best as a meal replacement though as I think the calories run to about 250. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I'm at 55lbs down, which is about halfway to my first goal. It will leave me at about 4lbs to go to a "healthy" BMI. I'm exactly the same. I got my first "you're looking slim" from someone I hadn't told this week, which made me think that there must be some difference! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I thinks that's pretty sensible Rosie- we've got to allow ourselves a little treat! I keep a little stash of biscuits in for those really desperate moments (or where I am so below my calorie intake for the day!) How's the weight loss going? I'm finding mine has slowed a little bit, but not too much. I reached my halfway point this week, which is a bit confusing because I feel no different!

Glad I could help- plus if you're taking them off the stick then you can have a half at a time and pop the rest back in the freezer! Finally back from my conference and need to get back on the Protein wagon- been lacking this last week or so and it shows! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

"RosieCheeks" I just saw these and thought of you- http://m.tesco.com/h5/groceries/r/www.tesco.com/groceries/product/details/?id=282694777&sc_cmp=aff*nt*gmo*HotUKDeals_1018132&utm_medium=gmo&utm_source=tradedoubler&utm_campaign=aff*HotUKDeals_1018132 (In case the link doesn't work- IrnBru ice lollies on special at tesco- £1.24 for three) Whilst they aren't full of Protein, they could be a great treat for you with none of the carbonated issues!

Hey no worries- keep going and I'm crossing my fingers for an amazing result for you later in the month! Currently sitting at my first corporate function since surgery- wine and a three course meal- it's a real test! I don't want to eat anything really, but I'm conscious that if I don't it will look pretty weird! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

On an average day I'm on 900 a day, although I am 175cm (so pretty tall for a lady) and my weight is currently 113kg and I'm pretty inactive. Overall, I think it's pretty personal, but if the calories aren't working for you, then I'd try upping them and see what happens? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

It's bizarre, pretty much my whole life I've been on low fat diets, and trying to get enough protein in sometimes requires that I ignore the little voice shouting about high fat (Babybels and pretty much every other cheese for example!) I hear the Quest bars are meant to be amazing, haven't made it to a H&B to find out yet though! Another good snack for protein are those "complete cookies" - although again- haven't tried them yet, so can't confirm! I did a big order from Muscle food as well, which means that we now have high protein waffles (awful awful awful) pancakes (not as awful) lavash bread (really nice) and tortillas (also good) along with a bunch of meat for the other half. It was pretty cost effective and they have a good range of snacky high protein stuff (just don't be fooled by the high protein Nutella like I was- that stuff is possibly the worst thing Ive eaten so far!) You could also try things like chicken or turkey sausages or maybe even something like jerky or high meat content hot dogs as a snack? I am digging the Quorn cocktail sausages at the moment, even my carnivorous other half thinks they are delicious! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
