I just received my sample box today and I ate the Apple Pie, it's delicious......!

Yes, fuzzy navel is horrible. After, I tasted that one it took me almost 3 weeks to rty another flavor because that one was so bad....!

I took off 8 weeks, my first two weeks after surgery were ok however, weeks 3 and 4 were bad. I was totally exhausted and had no eneregy at all. I am so glad I did not go back to work after two weeks like I originally planned.

Yes, I experienced the same thing and i believe it is from not being hydrated enough.

I did not experience that, however from what I have heaard this is normal.

yes, I think it's blood. Please call your Dr. and keep us posted.

PreciousCargo, I can so relate to you. It is getting pretty hard for me to continue to log on to this website and continue to see this on a daily basis. I had surgery on 01/25/12 and am only down 21 pounds and have been in a stall for, this week makes 3 weeks. I am doing eveything I am suppose to and my feelings are really getting hurt making me think I am doing something wrong or even questioning my Dr's skills (thinking did he do this right). this is so frustrating, I feel like I risked my life for nothing. I have lost 21lbs before on my own.

Yes, I have the hospital that I had my surgery done at has a program that does this. However, I'm in California..

Congrats and everything will be just fine. Well I would say 50 lbs pre op, you ain't lying about hitting the ground running that's great!

This is one that's in the sample pack and it is really really good.

I bought some nectar whey protein powder by Syntrax. I mixed the Caribbean Cooler with 4 oz of coconut water and 4 oz of reg water and WOW, if all protein drinks tasted like this I would meet my Protein requirements daily........ DELICIOUS!

Thank you so much IowaAndy!

@wishes~ thank you so much for the article.

I am pretty frustrated here . I have not lost any weight in going on 3 weeks , as a matter of fact I have gained1lb . This is some bull.... I know I keep hearing everyone say this will pass and and you will start losing again, uh hello when! I know that I do not get all the required protein or liquids in and I do minimal exercise, but come on for real how long is this really going to go on. So this week I am going to push myself to get a lil more excerise and getting more protein in :wub: . I never thought it would be such a chore to eat, it just makes me not want too. Help me pls!

I agree with Cheles...

Praying for u, everything will be just fine.

Heres a Big Bold whoo whoo!!!!!!

@ bedhead, how do you develop erosion?

I had to drink isopure, you either love them or hate them. As for myself I couldn't stand them however, it depends on your tast ebuds. If I can taste alot of protein in something I don't like it.

Belieive me you are not the only one that feels this way. I am 5 weeks out now and I have only lost 20lbs and I read all the post from other people who have lost so much weight and I am like WTH am I doing wrong. Starting to think did I undergo surgery for nothing.

Congrats, Keep up the good work!!!!!

Hi Apebrown, I am only 5 weeks out and understand where you are coming from. I read on her how ppl are on two weeks out and 4 weeks out and have lost more weight than I have. I know in the very beginning it was very hard for me to get my Protein in and I know the more protein in the more weight falls off. So for the last two days I am determined to get more protine in through shakes. I used a low calorie orange juice 1gm protien 1 scoop of vanilla whey Protein powder 20gm protein 1 scoop of unflavored whey protein powder 21gm protein 1/2 of cup of plain greek yougart 7.5 gm protein then I just incorporated other forms of protein in throughout the day. Today: 1 vanilla atkins drink 15 gms protein 1 scoop of vanilla protein powder 20 gms protein 1 scoop of unflavored protein powder 21 gms protein 1/2 cup of greek yougart 7.5 gms of protein oh yeah I also added 5oz of Water to this one, if not it is going to be real sweet. I have to do something here to feel like I am making some sort of progress here. I hope this helps you a little.

I don't know if flying would be advisable with a fever. Have you asked your Dr. would it be okay with a fever? I would be concerned of other complications such as blood clots at this point being in such high elevation.

I game!

Well said Itsanewcassandra!
