It will tell you what your Basil Metabolic Rate (BMR) is and you can figure out how many calories you need daily to lose weight.

Most folks end up close to 2000 calories a day after they hit goal. This also assumes some exercise.

Tonight I tried an ice cream replacement called arctic zero. Its made with whey Protein. It wasn't creamy but its easy on the taste buds. I got Peanut Butter chocolate and might actually add a little peanut butter.

Well I have always been a chocoholic before the sleeve but after I still find myself searching the cupboards in the middle of the night for that chocolate rush can anyone help me with any suggestions for stopping the cravings thanx

I was never a big candy eater prior to surgery, but I find myself really enjoying my choc Calcium chews. The brand is Bariatric Advantage.....they're like little Tootsie Rolls! I take four per day.

Yes. Gotta have the chocolate. NutriWise by Doctors Best hot chocolate is Aspartame Free. 80 caloreis 3 carb and 15 Protein. I'm not a coffee drinker but love this for my first hot drink of the day. Also add chocolate protein to surgar free chocoloate pudding. Jello chocolate mousse temptations All good for the chocolate craving.. but you must stay in control.

Not at all. In fact, they help with maintaining or losing weight by feeding the muscles.

I tried the Arctic Zero and I think it's very good. I set it out on the counter to thaw a bit first. I had the chocolate mint.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
