Awesome!! Bet it feels terrific

From mid September to mid October I went through a rebellion that would even impress a teenager rebelling against curfew & gained almost 5 lbs during it!! However I'm here to tell you that you can stop the feeding crazy train, just take it one step at a time. Since then I have lost those gained pounds & 6 brand spanking new pounds! Reset your determination a portion of the day at a time. Don't wake up saying today I will do everything right & be perfect, take it one meal (and between meal time slot) at a time. I bet by the end of the day you will have a mostly good day. Good luck & keep us posted, we're all pulling for you

Such amazing success & wonderful news!!!

I also love Peanut Butter & have it on a fairly regular basis. I would also recommend the to go cups for portion control. I have found Jif Whips to be way more satisfying (think whipped butter compared to stick butter), it has less calories for the same amount & since it is creamier should pose no band issues.

Seriously 23 lbs in less then 3 months & you are a little discouraged....20 lashes with some Protein I do not know how much you need to lose overall but 8 lbs a month is wonderful. Keep up the good work, follow your doctors rules and take it easy on yourself!! Congrats!!

Oatmeal!

oatmeal was my favorite, comes in many flavors for variety!

Lost a 1/2 size, had to ditch all my wide widths & also had to tie all my sneakers much tighter!

I'm not liking it at all honestly! Getting used to something new doesn't bother me at all but now it isn't anywhere near as easy to find enjoyable.

You have been such a voice or reason & inspiration with your many posts to others topics so please be as patient, kind and supportive to yourself! You have come so far and will continue to soar

Awesome!!

Did you speak to your Doctor & Employer about this? What was the outcome?

Aside from the possibility of you not being able to physically help someone if the need arises (and that is a biggie) I would think the chlorine in the pool would be an issue since your surgical incisions will not be fully healed. As your doctor ASAP

GNC Total Lean ready to serve shakes, comes in Vanilla, Chocolate or Strawberry. Right now they also have Pumpkin Spice for the fall. The ready to serves are Lactose Free. They contain 25g of protein, either 5 or 6g of carbs & 170 calories in a 14oz bottle

You sure can!!!!!

PS Congrats on your new life plan & good luck!!

You haven't found anything about how much a person "should" lose within the first month because there is NO should amount. Every person is an individual starting at a different weight, BMI & with different post op diets. That is too many variable for anyone to name a set amount to lose.

Well this has become a fun thread!!

I can't see why you would, you have never touched me LOL...just kidding, I haven't had an issue with your posts. Did I miss something?

Great news!! I know you have a painful recovery ahead of you but I'm so glad you are on your way

Maimonedes in Brooklyn is a good hospital, I'm surprised they couldn't get their s#%t together quicker!!! I understand they don't come upon this type of situation every day but seriously they should be smart enough to consult someone in the know!! So happy you are on the way to feeling better!!!!

I have pics on my profile page, I just can't figure out how to share them here LOL

Update us when you can, we are concerned for you

HotButterFly, I also live in NY, what ER did you go to???

I'm confused, on all but 1 post from the original poster all I see is 1 letter of the alphabet. I have no idea what this is all about
