i dont know the answer, but at 235 i would love to have the problem :-D

Do you take B12? i get a shot once a month and it makes me feel wonderful! Maybe try that? most docs will just give you a shot in the office.

i think it was because of bowl blockage. It was nuts, eggplant and popcorn. well from my NUT anyway.

you have to go where you feel comfortable, i dont pay attention to the BMI chart anymore, it cant be the same for all of us right? With all of our body shapes and the only thing we have in common if height? If you feel healthy and think you could lose more, i say go for it! I went to my endo last week and she couldnt get over how much i had lost, i told her my goal was 140, she said no way you will look to gaunt 180 will be good for you. First doc who told me i will look better still obese haha. I told her lets get to 180 then decide what to do.

I guess i am still under feeding my sleeve cause thankfully this has never happened to me! Sounds horrible!

i wouldnt get too attached to the protein bar idea. Look at a label on a protein bar, they have 25 grams of carbs and 30 grams of sugar! Even the lower carb arent that great. You will be better off packing Atkins or EAS premixed protein shakes, cheeses, greek yogurt. It is really hard to get in 65 grams of protein in through food, i dunno if everyone else struggles, but i am 3 months out and i can still not get all my proteins through foods, i have to drink protein shots. Soon, it will be second nature to pack all your essentials before going out the door. I always pack mine the night before. Good luck!

i have been craving spicy food since surgery. Not spicy hot food, just food with a lot of flavor. i love Mexican now, and before i could hardly stomach it. Slim Jims in all different flavors too. I think we taste food better now, and just like the flavors more?

yay! Congrats!

i am 3 months post op, i have been shedding for about 2 weeks now, im losing probably a hundred hairs a day give or take, i havent been able to tell, but we will see in a few weeks i guess. My NUT told me to do a round of Zinc for the hair loss, so i am trying that. If that doesnt work i will try the other remedies. I guess it wouldnt hyrt to be proactive, but some people say it doesnt matter, your body is going through a shock and will get adjusted eventually. I have an aburn curly wig picked out if i lose to much, but heres to hoping i dont need it. Good luck

they are New Whey.

I actually have nothing to confess this week! We are going on vacation in 49 days and i wanna lose 20 more pounds to get to w"onderland" so i didnt cheat once this week. But i do think im getting addicted to the elliptical. i was on there for an hour this morning, and was seriously trying to rearrange my schedule so i could go back to the gym tonight....

I enjoy the carb smart chocolate. I keep it around for PMS. Doesn't taste much different.

I'm so glad I found the shots. I was struggling on protein bad. They are gross, but not nearly as bad as the powders. Put them in the fridge and they are tolerable. I've never found blue rasberry. Where did you find them?

I am 3 months out, I do 800 calories a day, atleast 60 gram protein, no more than 70 carbs. I'm losing 3-5 pounds a week. I do atleast 5 hours of cardio and strength training a week As well.

No soda for me. Ever again! Reformed soda junkie. Mt. Dew aholic. Now reformed.

Also no chance for a leak from drinking too much.

The first few weeks the most important thing is fluids. You will get your protein in eventually right now you just need to stay hydrated.

We waited 8 days. As soon as the drain was out we were both feeling frisky. It was one of the postitions stated above and nothing hurt. It has gotten so much better too!

At 8 weeks i was eating everything except salad. Didnt eat much of it though. I had wings, pot roast, ribs, chicken, tuna. I had lost 36 pounds. I was struggling with protein, now i drink the New Whey shots from walmart. $2.50. Tatse gross but are only 4 oz so i just drink it as fast as i can they have 42 grams of protein they taste MUCH BETTER cold! i am 3 months out the 28 and am down 55 pounds. Have you added in exercise yet?

my mom is awesome but when i told her i hit the 50 pound mark, she said "oh good your almost done". Haha. I said "when i get under 200 you can start but intill then off my back". She said "well how much more do you want to lose", she bout had a heart attack when i tolder her 96 haha. My aunt is really nervous im going to be thinner than her. When she saw my new facebook profile pic she said "wow you look better than me now" WTH?!?!

i couldnt drink cold for about 3 weeks, now everything i drink has to have a pile of ice. weird how is changes.

If your family is meeting you with resistance do what i did and trick em LOL. when i cook noone knows what kind of milk i use, the kind of cheese, cooking spray, cut of meat, that i made a bananna nut breaad with applesauce and splenda ahhhaaaa. I get them good and cut out hundreds of calories a day and they dont even know it.

i am 30, and i have been a DD since i was 15 I was chesty even before i got heavy. My surgery was 3 months ago and i am now a D and they are going ddoowwnnn. its sad, but i have just gotten a nice pushup. Im hoping at the end everything will balance out. Or im going to max out my Mastercard :-)

I am 3 months out, I haven't had a problem eating anything but I don't like to eat anymore either. Dunno, I guess when I lost the cravings for sweets and quit drinking the bad stuff I didn't care. I couldn't believe the first time I forgot to eat all day! It used to make me mad, my best friend is super duper skinny and she was forever saying, "I can't believe I forgot to eat all day" I couldn't imagine that! I thought about food 16 hours a day. Even dreamed about it. I think if it wasn't having to cook for my family I would just take all my supplements and drink Protein shots and shake and that's it. I really need to find something new to do because I think I'm a smidge on the depressed side.

i get so excited when i go shopping i do cry bahaa. When i fit into the shirts at Hollister i cried in the dressing room. (i am pear shaped so my dang hips wont squeeze into regular sizes jeans yet). hurmph. i loved shopping before surgery, i can imagine im going to need an extra job when i get to goal!
