January Newbies ! Progress ?

[Queen In Me 36]

When I started the WLS program I was 267, at surgery on 1/3/13 I was 241, today I am 225. I weigh myself tomorrow, so i'm hoping to be down a few more pounds but since surgery I've lost 16 pounds. All together i've lost 42 pounds.

I had mine one week ago today and have lost 10lbs so far. Feeling better and better as the days go by! I'm pretty excited!

Isopure is what I use if you can drink a 12 oz shake in a day it's 50 grams of protien

Oh ok... I'm using the Bariatric Advantage Protein Meal Replacement. But the protein in the Isopure is almost 25 grams of protein higher.

I'm a cake decorator and like alot of us a foodie. I'm already back to doing cakes and sweets. This morning I woke up and decided to make eclairs. Also have a baby shower cake due on Friday. Then there's real food. My huge family is getting dinners at least from me. On Saturday is my hubby's bday so we are throwing him a BBQ/ bday party. I'll be cooking that day and for Sunday game day food. I figure there will always be temptations around so I may as well figure out how to deal with them. Hasn't been as bad as I would have thought. Maybe because I'm only a week out' date=' but I hope it will become a habit. Once I can eat normal food again is when the real challenge will begin.[/quote']

I am feeling the same as you, I couldn't wait to get back to my kitchen! And I'm so far just out of surgery one week. So far so good but like you said the real challenge will begin once I can have real food.

Last Sunday was my brothers birthday, of course I made a cake and as surging it I got a bit of the frosting in my finger and somehow it made it to my mouth without my noticing, until I tasted it and spit what I could out haha. So I will definitely just need to practice more self control! =)

Greg job being motivated! Good luck

I have surgery tomorrow. I was just wondering if Gas-X helps with the gas pain? Anybody tried it?

Yes it does. I took some the first few days afterwards I got the meltaways that just go on your tongue.

I didn't try it and I wish I had something. The pain from the gas they fill us up with was horrible for me. When I had my gall bladder removed they did the same thing but I came out of surgery with no pain, so I guess each time is different.

Good luck tomorrow!!!

I was sleeved on Jan 21st. Weight day of surgery was 232 and this morning I'm at 225' date=' only 7 pounds lost. Wish I had bigger numbers like all of you. Maybe I'm not getting in enough Protein or water.[/quote']

I was sleeved on the 21st an I have only lost 12lbs. I am very disappointed in my weightless.

[ebonisekim 1,713]

So I'm out almost 7 days. My dr had me on full Protein 2 weeks before. Starting day of surgery (after of course) I was in pure liquids. Soup' date=' Popsicles and Water. 3 days later I was bring my protein back in.

I can't even get a full 8 oz shake in for the whole day and my water. It's crazy and when I'm so thirsty I have tried drinking water like before. That's a joke!!

I have also noticed if I sip to fast I get a really weird feeling in my stomach. It's not a full sensation but its weird.

I've heard a lot of people talk about Isopure. What is this?[/quote']

Protein Drink they sale at GNC each one cost about $5.00 but they sale them by the case it suppose to taste like Gatorade
