LULUC - I was looking at the powder version of muscle milk today - the calories are much more reasonable than the pre-made shake - but I did find the muscle milk lite pre made chocolate shakes at costco today - going to give them a try and compare. I tend to like the pre-made shakes because I throw one in a blender w/ 1/2 carton nonfat plain greek yogurt and it ends up tasting like cheesecake w/ a Protein boost. (even better with a little espresso powder)

Today:

Brunch: mocha cheesecake Protein Shake

S: 3 cheese puffs, string cheese stick

D: 1/2 c. chicken tortilla Soup w cubed avocado, shredded cheese and crushed tortilla chips on top.

Dessert: 2/3 c. nonfat plain frozen yogurt w/ chocolate drizzle

Have had a GI virus the past two days -

I did vomit quite a bit yesterday and am worried that I may have damaged my band. I have been able to drink and was able to have half a slice of toast. I had an appointment for a fill on Monday so figured I will see then. Have any of you ever been sick while banded? TIA.

hope your feeling better!!

my dr wants us to have a script of phenegran on hand in case nausea or vomiting should occur. might want to get a hold of some - it really works!!

kc- i have playing around a LOT w/protein powders of late, and trying out new shakes; i've never tried the "lite" version of muscle milk - heard it wasn't great; but i do see the ready made one's in the gym, i might give one a try. thnkx

yesterday - didn't feel so hot myself

b- pomegrante/blueberry Protein smoothie

l - trail mix

d- pear slices

luluc - well I tried the lite muscle milk shake and it really didn't seem to taste much different than the regular - maybe not quite as sweet but when I used it to make my same shake - it tasted just the same :tongue2:

Brunch - mocha cheesecake Protein Shake

snack - handful of cheese puffs

(the rest will probably be as follows:)

dinner - shake as above

snack - cheese, apple and Jerky

late meal - chicken tortilla Soup w/ cheese

snack - roasted edemame

with 5 or 6 meals/snacks and we need to be drinking 64oz+ of Water a day also, and with waiting 1hr before and after meals to drink, how is everyone getting all that done? What time are you starting your day?? I sometimes just snack for a meal also, but I am not satisfying my cravings. I'm not hungry, but I'm not satisfied either..any suggestions? also not dropping any weight.

Thanks

Texas

My doctor says to have 3 meals a day, and if I feel like I need a snack, make sure it's a high Protein snack.

Also, I make sure to constantly have a water bottle or a glass of Crystal Light with me at all times. I am always taking a sip of something, probably every 5 minutes or so, throughout the day.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
