Well I went in for my 3 month post-op. I have lost 34# since the day of surgery. My labs were all excellent. I was told this is on the low side for weight loss. My eating is fine. But was told I needed to exercise to have the weight come off. I know I have been so bad at doing the exercise. But if this is what it takes I will do it. I have lost 49# since starting my journey but the weight they really look at it the day of surgery.

Check out this site for all you coffee and cream drinkers! Calories in Country Buffet - Coffee Creamers, packet

Greek yogurt, 1 Banana, 1/4 blueberries, 1/2 cup skim milk and unjury vanilla powder thrown into the magic bullet. Lots of protein as I was short yesterday trying to get it all in today. s of protein.

I am looking for a creamer? What is one of the better low calorie, high Protein good tasting creamers to go with my decaf coffee that I have learned to like. I like both powders and liquid. I am also wondering before we starting trying to get 70-80 grams of protein in since surgery. Do you think we consumed that amount before surgery?? Three months out. 29# since day of surgery.

I am also a fan of unjury. I mix mine with water too save on calories. Chocolate is my favorite. I usually freeze this a bit to make a bit of a slushy. I actually look forward to my unjury shake.

Just wondering is the weight loss on the tickers from surgery date or from pre-op start date? THanks

THis was a very interesting article. THanks so much for directing us there.

Thanks everyone. I probably had a week setback doing the trail mix thing. NEVER AGAIN>

I am two months post op. Doing great until today. Hubby purchased some trail mix with raisins, M&M's and an assortment of nuts. Well I have gotten into them I must have ate 2-3 cups before I said STOP and dumped the whole container down the toilet. Why would someone do this after going thur the surgery and two months of behaving. I did eat this morning. Had Ham and a protein shake. THen it began had 1/c cup special K withskim milk then that trail mix. I hope I get sick so I never do this again!! So the trail mix has been drowned and I admit it I did IT!!

How far out are you? Iam 2 months. Hair falling out yes. So you count the protein and the calories and the protein correct? What is a typical day of eating for you? I go up and down sometimes more calories or sometimes more carbs. If they are good carbs like in fruit do you limit fruit or just bad carbs??

Do you think it is better to watch your Carbs or your calories? I watch my protein very close. But it would just be easier to watch protein then carbs OR calories. WHat does everyone do??

I just spoke with a friend who has had the surgery. She says she follows weight watchers plan basic program. She counts the points and sticks to 24 per day, She exercises 30 per day. Does any one follow weight watchers to stay on track. I am 5 week out and I can eat anything now,

I am also a little over one month out. I eat most of my protein now. But unjury protein was my favorite.

I was wondering does the hungry go away right away or does this hormone need time to get out of your body?

What do most of you keep track of carbs or calories. I know Atkins is all about carb counting. Is this what is most important to keep track of?????
