I have the same issue and I'm wondering if we went so much prior because our stomachs were heavier and sitting on our bladders more.

I like the amplified wheybolic extreme 60. One 12 ounce shake with 3 scoops has 60g of protein, 7g of carbs and to me, the chocolate tastes like chocolate milk. One shake a day and I pretty much have all my protein in for the day.

I'd you want to get your Protein in eating, try egg whites. 1 egg white has 6g protein and you can eat an egg white an hour. It won't hurt you nor will it slow you down or stretch your sleeve. It's the purest form of protein you can get and there are no carbs or fat.

Lilee I think you did a great job. It may take you awhile to eat it but you did it. Way to go

I have to say that I am very blessed to have such a supportive husband. He only praises me instead of bringing me down. He is also military. He is in the army and has a beautiful body and can eat anything he wants. My only beef with him is that he eats so damn loudly and I can't stand to hear him eating stuff I can't. Lolol some days I just want to take his food away. Other than that, he is the best husband in the world.

Where do you get that card?

I am. I am following the diet religiously and walking the same distance as you and the scale keeps going up. I keep hearing it's water retention, muscle building, weight distributing etc but it's not comforting. I can tell in my clothes that I'm losing though. I was sleeved in 4/2 and have lost 22lbs but it said I gained 4 back. It makes me sad.

I'll vary up just as soon as I get the clear from my doc. I'm only 2.5 weeks out so all I can do is walk right now. It's great advice though and will definitely be taken into consideration. I refuse to give up.

I definitely need to move it. I only weigh in the mornings but it is driving me nuts when I see it go up when I know I'm following the diet religiously. I go to my doc on Monday. Hopefully he doesn't tell at me. I'm down 17lbs.

No I weighed first thing when I got up and after I peed. I am regular. I do retain a lot of water sometimes but don't feel so bloated today. I did walk 3 miles yesterday and have been walking a mile everyday so who knows. I can't wait to see that scale moving down. It just worries me that I'm failing.

So I gained another freaking 2 ounces. Not even sure how that is possible since I'm following the diet religiously and walking everyday for an hour or longer while pushing 2 kids in a bulky stroller. It's really pissing me off. I can feel my clothes getting bigger but the dang scale keeps going up. What a pain. I don't want to get yelled at Monday at my first post op appointment for only losing 17lbs. I'm 2.5 weeks out.

I just tell people the truth. I had weight loss surgery to better my health and lengthen my life. I don't care who knows or what they think. This is my life and I took control of it.

Egg whites are the purest form of protein. One egg white has 6 grams of protein. You can eat an egg white an hour and get all your protein in and it will not hurt you, slow your weight loss down or knock you off track. There's no carbs or fat or sugar in egg whites.

Egg whites. They are the purest form of protein you can get. 1 egg has 6 grams of protein and no carbs or fat. You can eat an egg an hour, get all your protein in and lose weight as well.

Thank you seannie. I appreciate it. I'm gonna keep going because I refuse to fail.

I don't weigh myself daily. I usually go every other day but it's hard when you see that scale move up. I run after my 6 kids all day and I'm only 2 weeks out. I'm just very afraid of failure. I don't want to be fat the rest of my life. I hope you all are right. I feel very bad today.

Thanks ill try. It's just hard not to stress when you know you are doing everything right. I don't want to go to the doc next week and hear how I'm failing.

My hands feel swollen this morning yes but will that add 10lbs back on me? I feel very defeated almost like damn, I've been busting my tail to get the weight off and it's right back on and I've done nothing to cause that.

Ow can I be 229 one day and almost 240 the next? I'm not close to my period, I don't eat junk or carbs, I drink all my protein shakes and eat protein. I feel very bad this morning. I see my clothes fitting better but now I'm worried that I'm gaining and not losing like I'm supposed to. I feel depressed.

That's wonderful. Congrats. I know how proud you must feel. I'm very happy for you.

I found that eating with a baby spoon and fork has slowed me down a lot and has also forced me to take smaller bites.

That will be a day I will celebrate loudly. Lol

I put on a pair of jeans today that we're tight a few weeks ago and they are loose. Wool hoo!!!! I have lost 22lbs since I was sleeved on 4/2/12 and a few shirts fit me now that I couldn't wear last month. Also, I can finally see the bones in my feet which I couldn't do for 3 years. I'm so happy. I have 103lbs to go til goal but this is a huge start.
