Happygoomom 13 Posted November 4, 2014 I'm almost 6 months out and never could drink the Protein shakes. They wouldn't stay down. However, if I made a homemade shake with pumpkin seed based Protein power, I could keep it down. It didn't taste good but I was getting protein. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
onthefencejenny 204 Posted November 4, 2014 I've struggled with Protein Shakes as well but recently found one that actually tastes good, if you like banana ha ha it's called muscle milk and I buy them at the fast gas here! They are 25g of Protein and 220 calories for 414 ml! I totally enjoy them ever morning now! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

shiftymcgee 4 Posted May 28, 2015 I'm from just outside ft sask....was sleeved July 22, 2014. Down 120 pounds since my heaviest, 100 pounds since surgery. I was sleeved in Tijuana.

onthefencejenny 204 Posted May 28, 2015 Did you experience much loose skin? Hi jadyn! I was sleeved July 25 2014 I'm down 114 lbs since surgery! I too have a bit of loose skin, mostly on my arms and stomach, but it's not that bad! With cloths on you cAnt tell! I think eventually I will have plastics but I still want to lose another 40-50 lbs and try to tighten up on my own!! I'm from just outside ft sask....was sleeved July 22, 2014. Down 120 pounds since my heaviest, 100 pounds since surgery. I was sleeved in Tijuana. I've got a little bit of loose skin but it's not terrible. I'm actually in the process of gaining weight now so I can go for plastics. Can I ask why you have to gain weight for plastics? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shiftymcgee 4 Posted May 28, 2015 You have to have a certain amount of body fat for the procedure I want (Brazilian butt lift) I don't want bum implants lol. I need to gain back a bit of chub so that they can suck it out and make me a new arse ???? gaining weight after the sleeve has proved a pretty big challenge for me....pre op I thought about food and I'd get bigger. Now I just eat and eat and eat....and nothing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
onthefencejenny 204 Posted May 28, 2015 Oh interesting! Lol yeah I'd still have enough chub, but your right it would be very hard to gain any amount back now! Can I ask where you are having your plastics done? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shiftymcgee 4 Posted May 28, 2015 It's very hard. Last night for dinner I ate a piece of pizza, spaghetti with butter and cheese and chocolate ice cream. And a can of pop....I was like aw yes, here comes some lbs. This morning I got up...the same. I'm on vacation tho lol so I do not eat this way all the time. Coming back to Mexico for plastics.
