Congrats! It is the absolute best feeling. The only problem is I'm spending so much money. Hahaha. But man does it feel good! I've gone tanning too. Haha Surgery weight : 219 Current: 182

I'm noticing since surgery, on s few teeth, they are getting real white. It's weird. Wondering if it's related. Thanks Nancy

Ps. Gas x strips are the best. Thanks Nancy

Yes. It happened to me. It will pass. Congrats and enjoy the journey. I'm 3 months out and so glad I did it. It's tough at the beginning but it will get much easier. I love this app it's a life saver!! Thanks Nancy

I lube more than ever. I'm so dry. I do drink liquids, protein shake, lower aid but less water. I don't like water. I'm 3 months out. Going to add a little more fat to diet. Thanks Nancy

Power crunch is my favorite! Love them. Thanks Nancy

I'm two months post op and can now have regular food. How do you eat a salad when it's combined with protein and veggies? For example the nits and chicken is mixed it? I can't eat protein first in this case?

I like genepro unflavored and PB 2 powdered peanut butter. But remember unflavored still has a little flavor. I tried a few and like genepro best.

Sleeved 1/11. Down 20 pounds and feeling great. But today I cheated and I feel terrible. I had three bites of pizza. I did good all day meeting my protein quantity. I'm so mad I wasn't even hungry but the pizza looks so good. I'm trying to put this behind me and just looking forward to tomorrow. Thanks for listening

What do you mean by "dry period"

I will be 11 weeks post OP when I travel with family to New Orleans. I plan to bring protein shakes with me but would love some tips on eating out.

So am I done with Desserts? Can I ever eat treats? I love to bake. Any tips on how to make a low sugar low fat. I'm seven weeks post op. chocolate cake? SW - 224 CW - 187

I'm six weeks post surgery today. I heard that that feeling will go away?

I'm 6 weeks out and experiencing constipation too. I do take 2 doclace and it seems to help milk mag doesn't work for me. My doctor says It's common because we aren't getting fruits and veggies In. I started refrained beans but don't like them. Chili is good but I still take doclace (sp) daily sometimes two.

Me too. I'm not counting carbs yet. I'm at 6 weeks and almost every day I lose a pound. I treat my self to a treat daily.

I use to be a wine consultant, so wine is my favorite! I also drank it in moderation. And actually before I decided on surgery my NUT told me I could have 4 oz a day. But when I decided on surgery I stopped drinking. And it was refreshing. I save so much $ too. Because I would open a bottle and then drink a glass and that be it. Red wine is only good for two days once opened. But now I am six weeks out and still no craving for alcohol. I set a goal though. Going on vacation end of March to New Orleans so planning to have a drink or two. Wine has sugar so I'll make sure to have no sugar foods that time. I also know that it's all temporary. I'm still in healing phase. The key is Moderation!

I bought a yeti cup. It keeps beverages cold or hot for 24-35 hours. I use this for my coffee, shakes soups. I read to buy baby food warmers for food. Might try that for when I'm home. But I'm also getting use to cold food. Haha

Can't you add a dash of milk? It has protein. I don't think it will hurt. But I'm not a doctor either.

My NUT said it to combine more than 30 grams of protein at a time. For some reason it doesn't absorb? To spread it out it out at least 3x a day. Just wanted to let you know.

I too stopped caffeine two weeks before switched to decaf. But a week after surgery My doctor said I can have a cup a day of caffeinated So I do. It takes more than a cup to get dehydrated from caffeine. Just make sure you drink plenty of water too.

Me too! Love love!! I also eat sugar free Italian ices. It's so much better than chips. Oh I love SF Fudgsicles too.

I understand your fear. This was one of my biggest fears too. I did research and found that not everyone loses hair. And I am going through menopause and was losing it to begin with. But I found that if you keep your Protein up, take your Vitamins it will be ok. I actually found that since surgery my hair has grown back in spots. I swear it's because of the increase in protein. Also remember if it does happen, it's temporary and to me that is worth it. I love my new life style and I feel so healthy.

Sorry "just" move forward. iPhone talk

It's in the past now. Justice forward And get right on track.

I made peanut butter cups. I used chocolate protein powder and PB2. It was awesome. Just like a Reese's.
