I'm in ocean county and have dr fresco as my surgeon. I am from manahawkin area which is the mainland of long beach island. I know a few people that went to her and the surgeons at their bariatric group. All have been successful!

Hey again ~ I'm very familiar with the area! I used to live on the barrier island in Lavalette & travelled to my job on the western edge of Monmouth County every day until I moved to where I am now.

I am hoping to be 250lbs or less by NYE - that will be roughly 50lbs. I am also REALLY HOPING to be in the green zone by then - and I'm committing to hitting 80g of Protein per day and exercising AT LEAST 4x/week. Most of all - I want to feel happy and in control of my relationship with food!

I know I def need more Protein in my diet all together. These shakes make me gag and make me not want to consume anything. I bought the best tasting one in my opinion and its a popular. I guess it's because I been drinking them more.... Help what do I do

It has now been a full month where I have had at least 80g of protein/day - something I have never done before in my life. I'm not really a vegetarian - but I never had a craving for meat and wasn't consuming enough Beans, etc to make up for it. I was lucky that my nutri gave me a sample packet of vanilla Unjury and I liked it well enough. I use that and strawberry from Optimum Nutrition and I vary btwn the two at home and will try most pre made ones if I'm out and few have been so bad (to me) that I didn't just get it down. Consuming way more protein actually has me craving meat more. Excited for the day I can start having it again.

You have been invited

I haven't had meat in three days and I'm okay. I am not a huge steak person but I enjoy chicken. I am going to have to try some other flavor. I heard Unjury was good and a woman in my group said she uses the vanilla and puts peppermint oil in it and other extracts to change the taste. I don't have the vanilla one though just chocolate. I also feel like I would like the strawberry.... I also need it super super cold. I cant drink it Luke warm I want to throw up when it's not Ice cold. I have lost 6 lbs I think cause I was six pounds heavier at doctors last week but it was also on a different scale. So even though I want food and hate my shakes that's positive

Crayolapheonix did u find me on Facebook with my name??

[aviva1979 375]

I'm getting into smoothies - blend my powder with a little Water, ice, frozen spinach and frozen berries. That will solve the cold thing. Also if I am just shaking it up/hand mixing I sometimes serve it over ice in a fancy glass - makes it a lil more special

I have yet to find a chocolate powder I like and I've tried a bunch.

[sprinkle715 87]

Haha I like the idea of a fancy glass!! Great idea with frozen spinach and berries!

I didn't like Protein Shakes and drinks at first. I thought they had a funny aftertaste. But I really like hem now or at least the mocha flavored one I have. It taste like 1% chocolate milk. My mom has a piña colada flavor it reminds me of the pain killer drink at cheddars.

I'm glad they taste better to me. I plan on drinking one for Breakfast and lunch. I want to be 180lbs by the new year

[aviva1979 375]

Kbush - who makes the mocha one you like?
