Jsims32 19 Posted July 15, 2018 I appreciate it! It sucks this time of year because of the typical "summer foods and beverages" but it's okay. Everyone around me pretty much understands I'll only eat a little bit of grilled chicken and my Protein chips at a cookout lol how have things been on your end?

Jsims32 19 Posted July 15, 2018 I apologize, I am still pre op but when i see people posting pictures of progress I can't help but look.No need to apologise!! Use everyone's pics as motivation. It's a mental battle in the beginning, but you acclimate, and it gets better. The pictures are remiders of where you were and what you can accomplish with hard work, discipline, and motivation! If you need any tips or pointers please feel free to reach out!Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using BariatricPal mobile app Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The success makes the initial diet worth it lol I am big into the protien chips now. They help with every meal. And they are 20g protien with 80 Cal!

Chrisb428 626 Posted July 15, 2018 Thank you very much. I am so ready to just get it done! 1 Jsims32 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
magpie26 244 Posted July 15, 2018 Ok what are these Protein chips? ! I was just complaining to my husband literally five minutes ago because I'm sick of pretty much every snack option (or everything) I have. Oh I was sleeved on April 17th. My surgeon counts my weight loss from the day we started our liquid diet (so April 2nd) so far I'm down 56 pounds! I'm currently in a stall that started about a week ago I will post my before and after pictures later, I keep nagging my family to take one now since I'm officially over 3 months out! I am doing ok, but yeah it's summer and there are times I miss certain stuff, like fruity cocktails and even grilled veggies because I just can't fit enough of those in! Social stuff isn't that fun right now as many people lately have food I just can't eat and I've been randomly getting sick on new stuff. But I'm pretty happy about things, stalls suck, I should do what I always tell the people that are a few weeks out and just put my scale away! But seriously, those chips...?

magpie26 244 Posted July 15, 2018 @Chrisb428 we've all been there! I seriously googled before and after pics of people with the sleeve for hours before I decided to get mine done. And I'm super thankful I found this site , it's very helpful when you're newly post-op and almost all of the time people are really encouraging and helpful. I guess we've been through this together.

But seriously, those chips...?So the chips are Quest protien chips... They taste amazing and give you that crunch you crave. They have them on Amazon... I'm on a subscription with different flavors. My favorite is the sour cream and cheddar. Seriously worth the money!

Jsims32 19 Posted July 15, 2018 Also, I upped my Fluid intake at my stall and it changed dramatically. It worked for me, so it may also help!! LolSent from my Pixel 2 XL using BariatricPal mobile app 1 domi reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
