Hiya Libby,

Wow that is absolutely fantastic !!!

You are a true inspiration to all of us pre-op members.

I'm starting my pre-op liquid diet tomorrow, really looking forward to that LOL !!! My surgery is scheduled for Dec 7th.

If I can do only half as well as you are doing I will be more than pleased. Keep up the amazing work.

Sorry I didn't come back and check on everyone's responses.

I just hit the 5 mth post op mark and I am down 115 seriously it is crazy.... If you are feeling bad because I have lost more you shouldn't I have lots more to lose then most sleevers and it's all relative. I am still half way to my goal.

I don't have any secrets I just follow the plan but I also don't beat myself up if I treat myself to something.

My calories are around 800-1000 a day and I always get 60-80 grams of protien. I try to keep my carbs around 25 but they usually end up closer to 35-40.

I still supplement my Protein with a Protein shake I drink Syntrax nectar either lemon tea or fuzzy navel. They are 90 calories per scoop with no carbs 20 grams of Protein. I take a 20 oz Blender Bottle one scoop of protein and a crystal light mix in and fill it up to the lid with Water.

I try to work out at least 4 times a week for 45 min to an hour. I was taking 60 min group fitness classes twice a week but I didn't like the time they were meeting so I am heading back to the gym. I try to switch it up 20 minutes treadmill, 20 minutes biking , & 20 minutes elliptical.

I have not been tracking my food lately but I have in the beginning of trying to figure everything out I used myfitnesspal.com I really liked their site it was easy to use and convient since they have an android app for my phone.

Typical day

BK (7:00 am) activia light yogart & piece of fruit or no sugar added fruit cup (right now I love those cutie oranges!)

9:00 protein

11:30 salad for lunch with protein (either chicken or steak) I always include cheese and crutons eat the meat first

6:00 dinner baked Salmon and a vegetable (no potatoes)

If I need a snack after work it is usually one of those 100 calorie bags of popcorn... I love popcorn.

If you check out my blog you can see photos. I wish I had more time to blog.

Hi...where do you buy the Syntax nectar?

Hi...where do you buy the Syntax nectar?

I buy it from Drugstore.com they are resonably priced. My local body building store carries them but they charge $38 a tub. You can buy it on Amazon & bariatriceating.com. I also recommend getting samples because I have some flavors that I do not like. Just google Syntrax nectar samples they are out there.
