At this moment need 16-18s and any hoodies would be appreciated.. S/M/L In men.. 1xl in women.. Sports bras.. size 11 running shoes.. Anything welcome.. Once I can't fit any of mine I will be happy to give all my clothes away. ( the little that I have)

HOLY GOODNESS.. You look like a completely different person! I'm so amazed! Question.. How did you make your skin tight? You looked like you did very well tightening up.

Get a taste of everything you can't have post sleeve.. lol. Or just do it for me It's so hard to watch ppl eat salad right now and soda.. blahhh lol. I"m happy to hear everything went well.. Good Luck with everything.. God Bless you!

Ehh.. Sounds too risky. If we can extend an exception to carbonated Water, people will extend it out to soda thinking (they're both carbonated) I'd rather stay with the notion in my head that it's all bad and it will cause bad pain. To each their own though. Good Luck, God Bless

I used a half a wrap pre op. they are alittle dry but are good. Can't wait to try making things with it..

Oh please we need to talk.. How are you so fortunate to get down 20 a month? I'm only at 230.4 from 255 5 weeks out today. And secrets you would like to share, I'm very discouraged and sad.

All sounds great.. I'm 5 wks out how long should I wait to try?

I'm actually doing very well with this recipe.. No pain at all.. And the taste makes me crave it.. Especially after adding the cheese n tomato I'm laying in bed wanting to cry because I have no more chicken n I'm out of money. Ugh, idk what I'm going to eat tomorrow... I pushed away from the KFC.. I seen I couldn't tolerate it. I was to I could have the following per my nutritionist... Recommended Foods for Stage 3 High Protein Foods Other Foods Eggs/Egg Whites Skinless Fruits (banana, Melon, Peach) ( Avoid fruits in syrup or added sugar) Low-Fat Yogurt (Greek Yogurt) Cream of Wheat/Oatmeal/Farina/Grits Flaky White Fish (Broiled or Baked) Soggy Cold Cereal with Skim Milk/Milk Alternative Flaked Tuna Cooked/Mashed Soft Vegetables * Avoid stringy vegetable choices* Small Shrimp/Scallops/Crab/Salmon Soft Mashed or Sweet Potatoes Mashed Beans/Lentils/ Blended Chili Low-Fat Strained Soups (No Chunks) Low-Fat/Fat-Free Cottage Cheese Unsweetened apple sauce Low-Fat Shredded or Soft Cheese Crackers and Toast * Exception to the rule: Both are tolerated if chewed properly and eaten slowly* Skim/1% Milk Soft lettuce (Bib or Red Leaf) Tofu or Hummus Thinly sliced deli turkey/ham (Low-Fat) >93% Lean Ground Beef/Turkey Chicken/Egg salad with low fat mayo Morning Star Vegetarian Choices Veggie Burger

The only flavorless protein I found was Beneprotein and it was 14 something shipped for a small container.. And its very VERY minimal in protein. like 3-4g per serving. ugh.

I've been on here for a good couple hours to***ht and they have a food section in the forums.. Good luck!

I would kill to be 180.. Ahh.. I was 289 when I started it all.. 255 at surgery.. 230.4 now.. Stuck and won't move.. It was painful for me the first 6 days.. The worst were the first two days honestly but I went into surgery at 2-3pm. I couldn't sleep the first ***ht.. by 5-6 pm the next ***ht I was slowly walking around.. The worst part for me at home was getting up and having the pain in my stomach.. But if you're truly honestly ready, It won't matter.. I was.. And I strived through it. Good Luck & God Bless. Let me know how everything goes!!

I'll share one of my FAVORITE recipes.. (The only one I swear by..) BUT I need you guys to respond to my Topic and help me out.. I'm 5 weeks out today.. having moderate pain from toast.. Maybe cause i'm eating too fast.. Tried the KFC bowl.. STRAIGHT horrible pain from the chicken.. So i've been stuck on soft foods.. However.. I got down Wawas Broccoli Cheddar Soup.. And 1/3-1/4 pieces of hoagies at a time.. Very Odd... I do not eat seafood of any kind, so please no seafood recipes.. Including Tuna. Okay my favorite recipe... 1- canned chicken (Prefer sams club 5 cans for 10) 1-2- packets of True Lime 1-Large toss of Garlic Rice Vinegar (Found at Walmart or Shoprite) 1-Tbsp mayo Take the chicken, strain.. break up.. add mayo, lime, and then at your descretion add the vinegar.. I go around the container like 2-3 times.. It gets dry so the more the vinegar the better GREAT ADDITION.... Just today I cut up a piece of sliced cheese.. and cut up two slices of tomato and added 1/4-1/5 of the chicken on top ate it bite by bite.. SO DELICIOUS!!! I want some more.. but no money to buy groceries.. :'( Thank you all for your time, and GOOD LUCK & GOD BLESS! <3 :wub:

Hi John, Good Luck & God Bless!

Oh you didn't get surgery yet??

I'm not experienced, but i'm having the same problem.. SAME exact.. I'm not taking Vitamins or Protein... I would like to hear feedback on this too. x0x

Just had some.. but i'm 5 wks out.. Stuffed myself LOL

I love me some fruit roll ups and fruit by the foot and gushers.. are we allowed to?? lol

Ohhh Okay.. So you had the band then the sleeve after the band was removed? How was that surgery I feel so bad..

Oh my gosh.. I was just telling my co-worker how gosh darn bad I want salad.. nutrionist kept me on stage 3 for now.. I'm 5 weeks out today.. I keep craving All types of salads... Esp the Oriental Chicken Salad @ applebees cept I have them put lime on the grilled chicken and I get french and the BEST tip I had was dip your fork in the dressing then pick up food.. Here I go.. Thinking about the salad again.. :'( I want it so bad, but i don't wanna mess up my progress.. I'm actually hauled at 230.4 for over a week now.. very frustrating.

I tried a sip and boy did I regret it.. Don't get my wrong I really love some Coca Cola Icees and Cherry Coke.. BUT I actually stopped drinking it on a regular before surgery. I had it maybe 2 times at dinner between March & June 28th.. When I went to Olive Garden I had Raspberry Peach Belini.. my favorite there.. and at my favorite Italian restaurant, water with lemon.. Honestly I may try again one day but is it really worth it? Idk.. Probably not at all.

Hey love, What's your favorite kinds? I have a Walmart, Shoprite, CVS, Walgreens, GNC, Rite-Aid around me... I need to get my protein in and I need to eat another meal a day so i'm hoping i can get up earlier eat 1/2 the bar go workout alil then 1/2 after then eat lunch at 12.. dinner at 430-5 and snack when i'm done work.. Any advice would be great to hear, especially since your results.. God Bless. <3

I had popcorn last ***ht.. White cheddar it was soo good.. No pain, and went down with ease.. it kinda actually scared me because I was eating atleast 6 handfuls.... Eh... Idk but Its out of the house now lol I liked it ... I'm worried about damage to my sleeve though..

I am so repulsed of Greek Yogurt now.. Just the thought of it makes me gag again.. Thanks alot Yoplait.. Back to regular fat free yogurt for me...

So what happened? How are you?
