Quick comment here… you're never too large for yoga. I used to teach modified hatha years ago. I even toyed around with opening up my own studio called "Living Large Yoga" for people who felt they were too big. A decent yoga instructor will know modifications to any pose. I say go for it! Be well…

I agree in theory. But I did it when I was quite a bit smaller and it just disgusts and depresses me now. And I really don't need to have a teacher showing me how to do poses to get around my fatness. Ack.

Sunwarrior plant based Protein

Warrior food plant base Protein

Tera's whey Protein powder

I have tried the top two and am pleased. They do require some mixing....I gag pretty easily so I can't just mix them with Water.

I haven't tried Tera's Whey yet but will be ordering some samples this month.

These are processed without heavy metals, pesticides, are non-gmo, and processed to retain as much nutrient value as possible. The Warrior food comes in glass jars so no chance of toxins leaching from plastics. I am still experimenting with them and am always on the lookout for natural, organic protein powders/shakes. Still looking for pre-made shakes.

You just described the life that I've planned for. I already got my reiki master and want to start healing people after I have recovered from the surgery . I want a peaceful life.

      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.
