I have 5 pairs of workout pants (three are Champion brand and two are Lane Bryant) in need of a good new home. Size 2x on four of them, XL on one; all of them are black. Message me here or DM me--depending on how many people respond, I can parse out one at a time or mail them all to one person. Edited to add: Smoke free home but not pet free home. You may find a few stray dog hairs on them. Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App

I made sauces and dressings with it as well as adding to shakes, so yes, can definitely make satay with it. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

My surgeon is 100 percent fine with coffee. Do I have six cups a day? No. I have one cup, or I take a Premier protein to the coffee shop, have them steam it for me and add a shot of espresso.

I'm six months past bypass and 15 pounds away from goal. I have amazing energy, eat high protein and low carb, do intense work outs four days a week and do yoga the other three. I have a great support team at my surgeon's office, check in with his nutritionist regularly and go to support meetings his office holds. I didn't realize how sick and tired I was until I was no longer sick and tired. Zero regrets here.

I finally ordered Premier Protein from Amazon -- it's been impossible to find at the local WalMart. For those of you who are Premier fans, do you use it in coffee or coffee-based drinks? (Like a caramel latte, for example, with the caramel flavor.) Looking for suggestions, thanks in advance. Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App

I'm five months out and my surgeon said I could have a cocktail on my birthday, at the end of the month. He gave me the caution of alcohol hitting harder than before, but I've always been a 'one and done' girl anyway. So one cocktail, sipped slowly, it will be.

Mix three bananas, a half cup of cocoa powder, two scoops of Protein powder and a half cup of no sugar almond or Peanut Butter. Scoop into mini muffin cups (lined) and bake for 15 minutes at 375. Store in the freezer. Tastes just like carpet underlayment but vaguely reminiscent of a fudgy brownie. Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App

Yep. It's kind of insane isn't it? Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App

Same here. Flinstones chewables or Centrum chewables. No gummies, ever. And no patches because they haven't been scientifically vetted in any peer-review journals.

Riced! I meant riced cauliflower! Good luck on ur journey! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

You can make crust out of diced cauliflower and use the same toppings you already love... Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Time to summon that same courage it took for you to get surgery in the first place and tell the FB crowd they should go ahead and block you. Harder to do with family, I know, but with your parents try a sweet smile and an, "Oh I know! But isn't it great that I can be healthy now and for the rest of my life?" It gives them no place to go with their cruelty. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

My surgeon was yes on Flinstones, although I've switched to Centrum chewables (with his approval) because the flavor is less cloying. He's an absolute no on Patches, because the patch companies have thus far not shared research or proven that patches work. I also take liquid b12 once a day and his office advised I should start on Calcium chewables as well. Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App

My nutritionist wants 70 grams of Protein a day and 100 grams of carbs, with calories at about 1,000 to 1,100. Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App Add: I don't do that amount of carbs, but I try to get the protein in. Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App

Sonoma Creamery cheddar or Parmesan crisps, available online or at costco (and presumably Sam's Club, since I think they're the same thing.) Six crisps have a total of 10 grams of Protein and 6 grams of carbs. You can also top them with slivers of meat, refried Beans, etc. Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App

Yes. I sent you a private message. Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App

Me too. Half a frozen banana with a vanilla Premier and powdered Peanut Butter is like a liquid fluffernutter. Give it a whirl, pun intended. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I haven't made these yet but I was going to give them a try. http://thebigmansworld.com/2016/09/21/4-ingredient-flourless-protein-brownie-bites/ Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I don't smoke it and I don't have a patient card, but I have a cannabis-based ointment that I use on my neck where I have a pulled muscle. It's legal in California for medical use and was made fully legal by voters in November-I spent a great deal of time writing about it for my job and people will just send me stuff as a result, so I have a box full of candies and edibles that I likely won't ever eat.

Okey doke.

It's coffee with coconut oil or butter added. Astronomical fat content, but supposedly keeps you full and energized for a long time. Not sure how it would fit into a high-Protein diet, but I haven't checked. Also, I've never tried it. This has been your bulletproof lesson for the day. Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App

Jerky, cheese, Sonoma Creamery cheese "crackers" (it's baked cheese/quinoa thingie, 10 grams of Protein per serving, nice crunch), nuts, KIND bars (smoked Jalapeño my fave), cucumbers and hummus, tuna salad, turkey or ham smeared with mustard and rolled around cheese... new favorite is Premier vanilla blended with half a banana and powdered Peanut Butter. Delish. Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App

Love my spiralizer. Just found a recipe for a cucumber/sesame salad that I think will go well with thai peanut chicken. Haven't branched out to spiralize potatoes or sweet potatoes yet, but they're on the list. Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App
