  1. I never knew about the dependency thing but I guess it makes sense. I'm 3 months post op and I've drank twice. Just one drink each. But I feel the urge or need to all the time and it's so hard for me to say no even when I go out with the intentions of not drinkin. My doc told me no alcohol for a year tho :/.
  2. I usually get in 600-800 calories daily. But my doc wants me at 800-1000, I still have to work on getting to that point but I make sure I'm at a minimum of 60g protein, some days I get in 100g.
  3. I was sleeved 3/1. Highest weight:267. Surgery weight:231. Current weight:184. So I've lost 47 since my surgery I'm ecstatic. My main focus is protein, water, and strength training.
  4. I'm almost 3 months post up. I mostly get all my protein in but I struggle with the 8 cups of water. I probably do about 4-6 cups daily not including my shakes. I take my acid reflux medicine daily. My throat has been sore for about 3 weeks now. It hurts to swallow and it just feels really tight. I went to my regular doc she basically did a strep test but everything came back fine. Has anyone experienced anything like this? Any tips or suggestions anything at all to help. I'm desperate. Thank u.
  5. I'm about 9 or 10 weeks out and my temp is 102. My throat kills so I think it's just a cold but is that any indication of a leak? I can barely get any liquids down its killing me but I'm trying. So should I be worried or call my doctor?
  6. I just tried these with reg low fat cream cheese I can't wait till they cool down. I tried one already but I know the cream cheese needs to settle. I def will try strawberry or even cinnamon cream cheese next time. Thanx for the recipe!!
  7. Anybody try these yet?
  8. Sounds good. What kind of jello flavors do u use?
  9. Well u can get low fat cheese. It's a good source of protein. I eat cheese 4-5 days out the week and I continue to lose
  10. I was eating natural peanut butter at about 2 weeks out. Its an easy way to get in some calories for energy and also protein.

    I try and make sure I'm hydrated before and I sip through out my workout as well
  12. refried beans with melted cheese and fat free sour cream.....I think I ate like 2 bites but it was the best 2 bites lol
  13. Omgosh I made this the other night so delish. I was thinkin it would be good but not this good.
  14. My sleep apnea went away after I had a tonsillectomy.
  15. Thanks for the stats! Even more motivation to get all my water in.
  16. It was great guys! The best thing is that it was perfect for my pizza craving and it only took 15 min total to prep and cook. It made 2 meals for me, you can slice it out and eat it like a reg piece of pizza its not as messy as it looks lol.
  17. These pizza hut commercials are taunting me. So I decided to do my own version of pizza that has Protein from meat and cheese but the ooey gooey cheese we all love! 4 slice turkey 1 slice turkey bacon 1/4 cupShredded cheese of choice 2 tbspns Marinara/ pizza sauce Lay out turkey slices overlapping. Spread sauce add cheese and chopped turkey bacon. Pop in toaster oven for 7-10 min Maybe 2-3 meals not sure yet. But so delish! Hope u enjoy
  18. The new ones look so tiny!! Yay for NSV's
  19. Omg I love that you named your sleeve thats so cute! Congrats on all your progress!
  20. Thanx for all the input. I ended up going today and surprisingly I feel much better
  21. Currently I'm working out about 3-4 times a week, about an hour each session. Just wondering how often everyone else is? If I feel tired/sore should I just get up and go anyway or is 3-4 days enough to keep the pounds off? Thanks!
  22. How do u mix unflavored proteins in warm/hot foods. When I tried that in soup it was a clumpy chunky disaster. Thanks
