I know they advise not to drink sodas, but i will allow myself 1/2 of one every now and then. I have heard some people say to let it go flat then drink it...but that defeats the point to me! I know the thing is that it is supposed to stretch your pouch...but i have read where they say it's only temporary from the gas it causes. again, moderation! I only have one here and there and i just have a few sips. makes me feel like i'm not being deprived!

i have issues with getting the right consistancy in my protein shakes. When I use Unjury and try and add yogurt or frozen fruit...my shake ends up entirely too thick. I also bought the BSN Lean Desert Protein Powder--Chocolate Coconut and It is so thick i can hardly drink it... i mix it with soy milk in the blender on the liquid option and it gets so thick and bubbly I can't even drink it... people talk about adding yogurt and fruit to their shakes...but it has never worked for me. What am I doing wrong!?

a girl i go to church with lost over 150 and she swears by the compression garments...spanx. she used them religiously and has almost no excess skin to speak of! it's worth a shot

Feeling kind of bummed this morning. Haven't weighed since Thursday and I'm up 2 lbs this morning. I just don't get it. Only thing it could be is that I have had veggie chips the last 2 days with hot sauce. normally i have no carbs other that what is in yogurt. anyways i also am doing badly on my Water. so it stops today!! I am about to become obsessed with WATER! b-choc Protein shake/1 tbsp peanut butter/1 tsp carmel syrup snack: greek yogurt lunch- fajita beef w/cheese snack: greek yogurt supper---who knows

thanx for responding Sherri...I guess I have known that I needed to change... Tiffykins, GRACiAS... I am about to copy that and get busy reading. I always try and compare the Vitamins and see which one has more... but i was just taking more of the gummies... to supplement. I actually just started the bcomplex sublingual. i got it at walmart. Does it matter where you get them? I'm hoping it is just as good as one i would get at GNC or such places.

MY biggest problem is it all or nothing. i'm either not going at all or its very loose!! no in between. after a day or two of nothing but gas i will use miralax...and then i'll just have diarrhea once or twice. i can't seem to get things under control. but i don't eat any bread and hardly any fruit...other than frozen fruit in my protein shakes. i usually eat 1 or 2 fiber tabs a day to help supplement...

I buy the gummy multiviatmins...but i can't help but wonder if they really work. or... are they as good as normal vitamins?? I actually use a gummy BComplex and Fish oil also. I just wonder if I'm wasting my money...

breakfast--always a Protein shake...1 tbsp Peanut Butter,20 gm protein,1 cup lite vanilla silk, lots of ice. snack--Oikos strawberry Greek yogurt + splenda snack--AT work super busy no chance to eat so i had a tbsp of peanut butter late lunch-- 2 oz tilapia snack --oikos blueberry greek yogurt supper-- who knows maybe a little tunafish i bought these veggie chips that are 7 gms fat and 100 calories for 36 chips!! i love them but i ate WAY too many the last couple of days and it has totally stalled my weight loss!!! i just love chips and hot sauce! but no more buying them for me!

B-Protein Shake (protein, 1 TBSP peanut butter, tbsp carmel Torani) Delicious!! s-Greek Yogurt L-1/3 chicken breast and 1/4 cup broccoli s-tbsp peanut butter supper- green peas/chicken salad snack-yogurt

the unflavored unjury stunk...i couldn't stomach it as a shake, but i did put it in my cereal/yogurt and it was fine.

forgot to add the food planner link: http://www.bariatriceating.com/befoodjournal.pdf

my surgeon is very vague about what i should eat, other than just making sure i get enough Protein. when i mentioned watching my carbs, they told me not to worry about that. but...i still do. i just think i lose better with lower carbs. anyways i went to Bariatric Eating and found an awesome food diary that i follow. that is when i decided to start doing protein rich Snacks. heres a normal day... b-Protein shake snack-string cheese or greek yogurt (8-10 grams protein) Lunch- tunafish or chicken,cheese and salsa snack-string cheese/greek yogurt or tbsp of Peanut Butter supper-- small salad with protein or salmon good luck

Hi all! I was sleeved 12-13-2010 and as of today I have lost 74lbs. I have been loving my sleeve! I love never truly feeling hungry. My down fall is....old habits. I have always had a killer sweet tooth. (Diabetes on both sides) actually up until about 2 wks ago I was elated because I didn't even want sweets at all. But, all of a sudden it has come on strong!!! i find myself having a nibble here, a bite there of a cookie or cake. i never endulge and sometimes as soon as it's in my mouth i go spit it out. but regardless....it is driving me nuts. i hate this feeling of not being in control.... well besides that issue things are going pretty good. I am drinking the Unjury protein shakes and i mix them with soy milk and sometimes add frozen fruit. They are just not good to me. i have tried adding splenda...but it doesn't help. I just ordered .. BSN Lean Dessert Protein mix today. I hope it tastes better!
