It's really up to you I had gastric because I heard too many horror stories about the band!

Ok here it is week 1 of the weigh in! I'm excited and nervous and I'm hoping to have lost at least a pound lol! Here goes nothing: last week: 190 this week 04/27: 187.6 (aunt flow arrived) Down 2.4 lbs yay!!!! So I am no longer on my plateau thank god I was starting to get worried because I wasn't loosing!

People loose weight at different rates so you just could be loosing slower than others...not the news you want to hear....I know! I have heard loosing the weight also depends on how overweight you were before surgery so that could also be another reason!

Your welcome!

I do a couple different ones lol I like variety! One thing I can tell you is a blender makes a big difference when it comes to frothy or thickness! I make my shakes ahead of time so that they aren't frothy! But I use myoplex, carnation instant breakfast, unjury and the syntrax nectars and their shakes lol!

Good luck both of y'all!

Girl I don't blame you when I think about trying it it just turns like stomach too!!! I did exactly what you are doing I took it one day at a time something's didn't work and some do!

Anjela most definitely worth it!!! If I had to do over again I would in a heartbeat! I couldn't imagine loosing the weight I have without my new weight loss tool! I'm just getting frustrated because I weighed 180 got up to 190 and I feel smaller but it's not coming off like I want it to!

It was hard the 1st day but yesterday I didn't even want to eat! Got in over 60 g of protein! I haven't weighed myself in almost a week I'm doing the Friday weigh in so I can't let myself cheat!

I stayed for 3 days from what I understand you have to get an upper gi done to make sure everything is a go and also you have to be up walking and taking in at least 4 ozs in an hour

That's what I'm hoping I'm looking slimmer and slimmer so I've got my fingers crossed for weight loss this week

Anjela I use my fitness pal too!! I love how it always tells you eating only between 600-800 can cause your body to starve lol!!

Hang in there!!

I go through plateaus every 3 weeks!

Congrats!! My best friend had The gastric sleeve done on the 17th!

Try the syntrax nectars they are tasty!!! Also you could blend some fruit, ice, milk, and protein powder.....makes the best smoothie!! Also try unflavored protein powder in pudding or yogurt!!!

I'm glad your doing so well Berniec!!! I was wondering when we were going to hear from you! Glad you made it!

My dr said not to worry about the protein until my diet was enhanced he said the 1st week its more important to stay hydrated while your body is healing than anything else. I'd say by the 2nd and 3rd week I was getting most of my protein in, but there is still days when I can't get in every little bit of protein and it's hard!

Panda don't feel bad I hit a plateau at about 4 weeks another around 8 weeks and now at 12 weeks this one has been the longest plateau as I've been weighing the same thing since week 12 and I'm now on week 15! I exercise 5 days a week and stick to all healthy foods! I'm seriously getting frustrated!

Heather omg I'm feeling that tightness too!!! Woo hoo!!!

Lol yeah or post op!!! I hope I at least get back down to my 180! Getting ready for broth for lunch fun fun!!

I've gotten so used to eating my regular foods just liquids is killing me....I totally simpathize with those on the pre op diet!

I'm starving lol

I'm so sorry you've had all these complications I myself know exactly what it's like having pneumonia I was hospitalized for it a couple years back and almost died from it....mine was due to negligent hospital staff and had nothing to do with my rny (only 15 weeks post op) but it was horrible! I hope that they can figure everything out quickly so that you can enjoy the benefits of having rny! Take care, get lots of rest, keep us updated.......and last but not least have a speedy recovery!

Welcome Erin!!
