Protein Powder.< /p>

I've tried lots of Protein Shakes. Some ok and some just too darn sweet. Yuck!!

I must say that I like the Body Fortress powder.

60 grams of Protein for one scoop. It sort of taste like hot chocolate because I make it with a cup of warm Water. Afterwards I mix black coffee with it and it so good!

I use to drink about 4 cups of coffee a day. I'm down to one cup now. So I guess you could say my cup of coffee is like protein mocha.

Give it a try!

I use body fortress also but mine only gives me 26g per scoop. I freeze it to for a frozen dessert treat or mix it in my coffee for a nice warm reward and coffee fix

Hi Girls! 2 months verticalversary and I have not lost ANY weight in over 2 weeks, what the heck? I mean, I have lost a total of 33 pounds, a few were preop. So I am happy about that. TRYING to eat right which for the most part I am. Just getting SUPER frustrated. Especially when people ask me "have you lost any more weight"? I wish they would shut up. Ok, I feel better now. How is everyone else doing with their weight loss? How far are you out and how much have you lost??

Today is 2 months out. Just left my post-op appt. I have lost 45lbs since surgery 9/24 and a total of 78 since beginning this journey. Bought my first pair of new pants, size 22 having started as size 28, I am thrilled. Funny thing is they look too small to me when I go to put them on, but they fit with room to spare! The road has not been the easiest, I had many bumps along the way. Surgery complications, anemia, lactose intolerance, nausea, days of dry heaves, and more tears shed in two weeks than anyone should shed in a lifetime. But I pushed through and am now reaping the rewards. For anyone struggling, know it gets better. Take it one day at a time!

[greenfamily004 172]

I was two months out on the 12th. Down 31 pounds. Day of surgery I weighed 215 now at 184.

Kparker what was your surgery day weight?

I guess you and I are loosing about the same. Do you use MFP?

[momto3girls 61]

@teach5: Way to rock your sleeve! Great job! I was sleeved on 9/17 and am only down around 33-35#. But I will need to go shopping too very soon. The jeans are getting too baggy and the bras are getting "wrinkles" in them because they are getting too big. Whoop!!!!

@Greenfam- Yes I use MFP. The screen name is the same, look me up and add me! I was sleeved on Sept. 24th. I was at 250- 252. I lost about 10 pounds. So since the actual sleeve I am about 23-25 down. I cant remember the EXACT number but I know it was a couple of pounds off.

[kparker0501 88]

Has anyone experienced "stalls"?

[shuhnaynuh 142]

I mix unflavored Protein into my oatmeal and Soups but mostly try to get my protein via food.... I was sleeved 9/4 started at 240 and I'm now 193... Soooo -47 lbs

[greenfamily004 172]

I have had a few stalls. The longest was about two weeks that was then only broken by a one pound loss.

[Getting There 198]

Stalls absolutely suck!!! I'm in one now - weighed the same last Monday as I did this Monday. Very discouraging - but I've read enough to know that this will pass - I just need to keep on doing what I know I need to do (protein, fluids, calories) and hopefully next week will show a loss........ Or else!!! LOL

[Momofthing1thing2thing3 116]

Having trouble getting in the Fluid. Working it.

[Velena 122]

I stalled for two weeks. It sucked but it broke eventually. Hang in there!
