wow... the same things we were judged for we are now judging others for... sad how our society is. Thank God we a tool to help us overcome the unhealthyness that was once our lives. Here's wishing the same for others.

broiled tilapia parmesian!!!

I do eat the sames things everyday except dinner and then I always try and find a new recipe that the whole family will enjoy. I always have a protein shake for breakfast. Then a baby bel light 2 hours later, then a quest bar 2 hours later and then a greek yogurt 2 hours after that.. then I eat dinner. Little amounts thru out the day to get my protein in.

You got this girl!! Going back to basics might be just what you need. Make sure you are staying away from carbs!!!

I was told one shake a day for life. Every doctor is different. Go with what yours says

Great job girlie!!!

Welcome to the boards!!!

4 miles again today... 4% incline and 4.0 speed. Wishing for warmer weather... Hate the treadmill and the dreaded road that leads no where lol!!

Cp... There is a difference girl!!!

It's normal for the hair to fall out... When mine started I did up the protein but also take biotin and wash my hair with garnier fall fight shampoo

Jenn... 94 lbs... Woohoo!!!!!!

We went to a steak house as a family and I got the soup and then ate 2 bites of my husbands steak. Soup is usually my go to. We have a hamburger place here called Rons and I always get the small chili and eat about half of it. My husband orders a med chili and then eats the rest of mine. Cheap date night always under $10. Its great!!!!

Walked 4 miles on the treadmill 4% incline speed 4.0

Congrats girlie!!! Huge accomplishment

Hey and welcome... You really are doing great! Any specific questions you have just ask. Make sure to eat all your protein, stay hydrated and take your vitamins

Wow you look great!!! Glad everything is going so well

Because the weather is cold I have been doing my walking on the treadmill. I have been experimenting with walking 4.0 pace and then running 4.8 pace at 2 minute intervals. It can be done... Started at 340 lbs feb 21st 2012 now 174 lbs. I just prefer walking to running cuz I always feel like I am about to pee down my leg when I run lol!!

So most of us have heard of the world according to eggface, the website that offers a ton of great info. Well, stumbled upon another one and thought I would share. http://milestogo.squarespace.com/all-about-protein/ Kristy

Mami is right. This feeling does pass. Once you are done mourning the loss of food in your life it gets better. Just like those that get upset when their family eats in front of them. We all need to remember this is truly a loss of something that has comforted us for years... never sassed back and just was always there for us. Remember we chose to have this surgery to take back control of our lives. Find your joy in things other then food. You can do this.

bump for all the new folks... information worth sharing... where are you David????

Such an exciting time for you... good luck girl!!!

I think it's mostly insurance requirements and not surgeon requirements.

I think juicing pre-op would be ok. I would worry about it post op just because of the sugar content and how important protein is. I tried googling some info but couldnt really find anything on it. Would be a great question for your NUT. Good luck

that really stinks. I know that exercise is key with this whole proceedure. I think you are doing the right thing with the pool exercises. I have heard it is less strenuous on your joints. Maybe as you loose weight the pain and inflammation will go down. Good luck to you and I am glad you are able to do some sort of exercise. Hugs your way!!
