Hello guys and gals

[Tina727 48]

Hi ya'll, My surgery was August 19th, and Today I am 10 weeks out. Currently I am down 70 pounds! It's so surreal! I haven't gotten anymore energy than before yet, and I have only dumped once trying to drink milk (even after taking a Lactaid chew) It was horrible! I need to find a milk that taste similar to real milk! Almond and soy I totally hate! So aside from feeling great, eating well, and swimming in all my clothes lol, I wanted to know if anyone has tried hot cocoa?? If so what was the outcome and what kind did you use.. Approaching winter time it's one of those things I love when I'm cold and curious if we can handle it.. I have drank nothing but Water since the day of surgery and my pallet is craving something else so bad.

please let me know. thanks so much

Yes, I use Swiss Miss sf hot chocolate but make it with hot Water. Actually I was using it and was adding unflavored Protein to it. I'm too lazy to make hot cocoa from scratch.

I don't have a secret lol. I haven't even started exercising yet. One thing after another has been going on. Moved, painting the entire house, and taking care of a special needs daughter. Trying to find time to get to the gym. In time it will come!

I make sure I eat Protein first. So dinner I will eat just the meat. Sometimes a vegetable with it, but not usually. I can only eat about 1/4 cup at a time though. I make a really hearty chili with lots of Beans and onions, peppers, mushrooms, N corn. Beans are high in Protein. I made a roast and just ate the meat, the left overs my wife and i made wraps out if it. We can eat 6 medium shrimp, fish, or grilled chicken. Well have grilled chicken salad sometimes, or chicken quesadilla. We a lot of chicken or shrimp. Breakfast we'll have a half bagel or a banana, I have done Peanut Butter, tolerated that well. We do wraps for lunch. We also do a lot of stir fry. The key we have learned is baby bites and to eat slow and chew food extremely well and not to eat more than 20 min. I don't do Protein Powder, never have. I keep up on 64 ounces of Water a day and never drink 30 min before meals or an hour after meals! My wife has lost almost 55 pounds. That's really all I can think of. Don't be discouraged, it will come!

Try goats milk! It tastes exactly like cows milk, but doesn't have the same Proteins in it that make people sick. I love it! Seriously NO difference!---- well, other then price. Lol it's a tad on the expensive side.

I would seriously talk to your nutritionist about a meal plan you can tolerate...you seem to be struggling a lot, and if you're not following a plan and getting enough Protein, you could end up seriously ill as well as not losing weight. I'm just concerned for you, hon. Make use if your nutritionist....you need to eat or you'll get sick and you won't be able to lose the weight.
