I have one and found that it's alot easier to clean and when it comes to making a protein shake for one... well it's just alot easier.

You look great.... keep going!!

#Protein in, I could do a little better on Water but I am getting the min. I haven't been exercising as much as I was before which is showing in how much I am NOT losing right now. I am still losing but not at the rate I was. I think I am losing maybe 1 to 1.5 pounds a week for the last 3 weeks. The most upsetting thing for me is that I don't have the endurance or energy I did. Can anyone help and give some advise? Hi guys... I have been doing really good the last 3 months but I have really had a hard time lately. My energy is down and my labs look ok (not great but ok). I am getting my protein in, I could do a little better on water but I am getting the min. I haven't been exercising as much as I was before which is showing in how much I am NOT losing right now.

Thanks guys

Thanks guys. I think I am going to take a few days and boost up the carbs for that time and see if it helps. Once that is done I will start back on the high protein and the way things should be. We will see what happens.

Thanks Tiff - I will take the words of wisdom. I am actually drinking the low calorie gatoraide right now which I normally only do when I am in the gym and weight training but I thought... what the heck.. Tomorrow I am going to focus on hydrating really well and eating some carbs. Then by tuesday I should be able to see how I feel and if I can push for walking in the morning and going to the gym after work.

Hey Tiff thank you for the reply. The doc said that all my labs were in normal range encluding my thyroid hormone levels which I suffer from dramatically. I take two pills a day which is rare. Other then that he has really said to push myself into the gym. I do have a nut. and when I asked her she said that everything seems right with what I am eating. The loading up on carbs and spinach sounds like a really good idea. I have not had hardly any carbs unless it was in cottage cheese which wasn't much. most of my meals are soly focused on protein with a lil bit or two of veggies. Any advise is so well appreciated. I am willing to try anything at this point.

wow what an inspiration... congrats and keep up the good work

Emma welcome!! This road hasn't been always easy. But it was the best decision I made for myself and for the life I wanted. You will do fine just follow all the rules during pre op, rememeber when in recovery to breath steady, and post op remember to eat SLOWLYYYYYYYYYYYYY. I wish you the best luck

might be worth showing the doctor. Are you drinking protein shakes? If so you might be having an alergic reaction

I am so happy and proud of you... Congrats

So happy for you Hailey. I wish you so much luck. IF you have any questions or if I can help in anyway please let me know.

maybe it's a reaction to the anesthia (sp) I know that I had some side effects until about 3 weeks post op

This is a wonderful idea, but everyone tells me that I have lost an 8 year old lol

wish you much much luck...
