Is the maxpro protein shake good? I have heard a few others mention it and was curious of the taste. So far I like the UnJury chocolate flavor, chicken soup and unflavored. I am interested in others just for a change. Oh and by the way I am now down 23.7 pounds!!! I am so stoked.

Some have stated that when they have come to a stall they changed their exercise routine up. If they walked for thirty minutes they walked fourty-five and then they would increase the pace a little more. I hope this helps.

GOOD FOR YOU!!! WHOOHOOO!!! You have earned the right to strut your stuff at the pool. Some people think that this is easy and that we don't have to put in any work to lose the weight still. This is so not true. It is still a battle, and the work is so hard. I am at 23.7 pounds down since the 2nd of May and let me tell you, I can't wait to be able to say I am eighty five pounds down. I will strut my stuff just like you. GO GIRL!!

AWESOME!!!

@Neeve, I am so happy to hear that you are doing better. I don't know about you but I was having some trouble tolerating my supplements as well. Then I had a bad bout of constipation. It didn't happen until they told me to do the two Calcium and Multivitamins a day. I am also anemic so there is the Iron. All in all it all led to the dreaded constipation. I too am doing better because I went and bought me some Senokot and boy am I now relieved!!! LOL I hope you get much much much better soon and keep up the wonderful work.

I have been blending all my foods in the blender to puree it. To give myself a little extra Protein I use the unjury chicken Soup flavor mix and pour it over the chicken as a gravy and it works great for me.

The doctor is right. Congrats to you and good luck with your weight loss process,

If you are still taking some pain medications this could explain the nausea. You pain could be gas. I was told by my doctor that this could happen. So with that being said I suppose this is normal.

Congrats on the weight loss. I had my surgery on the 2nd of May and I am trying hard to work in the protein and the water. I have to remind myself to eat (Drink) my meals as well. I am getting better though. I hope I am as successful as you when I weigh in on Thursday. Congrats to you again.

I don't have staples, I am ten days post op I have the skin derma bond. However I remember when I had my staples removed after my C-Section it didn't hurt it just felt like I was being pinched. You will be fine. I had a lot of fears in the beginning regarding calories but I don't any longer. My stomach does not hold as much as it used to for me to worry about that. I add an entire packet of UnJury to one can of soup and I eat it throughout the day along with the other like yogurt, and such and I try to keep up with the protein count. As for the protein shakes, I was told to just make sure I take in anywhere between 65g - 100g of protein a day. This will help prevent a lot of hair loss. I hope this helps.

Thanks phatdivabbw and Thickhawk, I thought it was just me. @phatdivabbw I never thought about the sippie cup thanks.

@Rodswife thanks for the advise I did not know that creatin was added to protein drinks. I will be sure to look for it as I check around for different flavors. At this time I plan on using UnJury.

Hi Kim, I am pod 7 and I start my full liquid diet tomorrow. I do not know at this time how much weight I have lost but I have never been a slave to the scale and I am not going to start now. I feel confident that your insurance will approve your surgery and you will be well on your way to a new life. Welcome and good luck to you.

Yes I am and I start the second stage on Thursday. I have been walking a lot because I don't want to get weak. I am consistently sipping water and it has helped me as well. I do notice the more I sip the less the BEAST visits me.

My Nutritionist, Surgeon and Doctor told me to not worry so much about the numbers but staying healthy and if you focus on staying healthy the numbers and everything else will fall into place. Congrats on the new job and love life. :wub:

Thank you so much. How did you handle the Head Hunger Beast? I feel like I am getting better but let me tell you by day 3 that monster reared HER UGLY HEAD and I thought I was going to lose my mind.

I am still on the liquid diet and I have had the slimming experience and it is not that a great feeling at all. I took in too much fluid and when I thought I was going to belch I slimmed yuk!

I am so excited for you. I am only six days post-op my surgery. I am looking forward to being where you are in your weight loss. So far I am walking and trying to work my way up to walk a mile and a half. I know I will get there in time everyone keep telling me not to push it, and I am not but I can't sit around and wait to heal as some would like me to do. I feel like I need to get it going and keep it going. I hope you don't mind me following you because you have become a great inspiration for me. I might even ask for some advice from time to time. Congratulations to you and keep up the great work.

I had my surgery on May 2nd and I am still trying to master the sipping vs drinking. However I do still feel as if I am having gas bubbles at times. Is this normal?

I tried Unjury before my surgery and I liked the product. They have an unflavored one that works well with everything.

I was told that you could take two Flintstone chewables with Iron and you could be okay.
