Pure Protein Shakes - These are my favorite...they arent thick at all like those icky shakes, and they have tons of protein. I dont know where you live, but I can get them at a local store (Trader Joes). The vanilla tastes like egg nogg, and the chocolate is wonderful. Such a refreshing change from the protein powder, yuck! I may never go back, lol. Good luck!

I had to push my scale under the kitchen table where i cant see it every day, and only weigh myself once a week. I too am stalling bigtime, but inches are coming off (i was able to fit into my jeans again, woo hoo!). So even if you're not losing pounds, you're probably losing inches!

Yay! Its nice getting compliments! And sometimes our bodies lose slower at times, dont get discouraged!

These are my favorite...35 grams of protein, 110 calories, and 1 gram of sugar. I was so sick of the protein powder and the thickness of it, these have been a lifesaver.

I've been hungry too, and on a stall, and my surgery was Dec 9th. Im right there with you on everything, lol. My left incision was the worst of the pain. I can take bigger sips of liquids now too, its normal. I have been on soft foods since the 23rd, and it has been the best. Im so sick of the shakes, but ive been getting all my protein in, need to be better about the liquid requirement though. Good luck, we'll get there, even if we go at a slow pace. Oh and i've pushed my scale under the dining room table so i dont see it when i walk by, and am only weighing myself once a week cuz i was driving myself crazy with it. I stopped weighing myself for 4 days and when i did i had lost 3 lbs! Much better feeling.

Yay, good for you! I too left cheesecake on my plate Chirstmas Eve (only mine was because I couldnt eat anymore being post-op). I wouldnt have had the self-control before the surgery, so congrats! Most of us know just how hard that is to do!

Thanks for the reminder! I think we discourage ourselves when we see other people losing faster than us, but this is not a race! We will all lose at our own pace.

Im right there with you Amber! Its so hard to divorce food, and say no to everything during this pre-op diet. My most difficult time is between lunch and dinner too, but i've arranged it so i have a protein shake on my way home from work, and im not starving by the time i get to my house (which i call the danger zone, since i have a 7 year old and have to keep snacks around for her lunches, lol).

I also worry about the skin, and trading one ugly body for another. I dont have the money for plastic surgery, and am just gonna have to live with the results i guess. Anyway, good luck to you, only 1 week away thats great! It gets here fast, mine's in 4 days, and im so excited!

You should comment to your mutual friends that you've begun walking at a different location...maybe he will hear and start going to the other location looking for you, lol.

I dont get meals, just protein shakes and protein bars. Although the first two days i replaced a shake with protein (some grilled chilcken, and the second night i had some turkey and an egg). Im on the fifth day, and im so tired! Im hoping it gets easier!

WE CAN DO THIS! BEFORE YOU KNOW IT WE WILL ALL BE SLEEVED!

How great that must feel! Congrats, good job, and keep it up!
