I loved my sample pack. Caribbean Cooker is my favorite so far.

Ok I finally received my sample packs in the mail. I had forgotten I ordered them. I've tried fuzzy navel and Caribbean cooler both are pretty good. Thanks everyone.

Correct. Just wait 30 minutes then drink it.

And my carb goal shows 82 definitely too much.

Yeah they are there but not the goals I want. My protein goal shows 22g.

I need help with my fitness pal. How can I track my protein and carbs ect and not just my calories? How can I change my protein goals?

Good luck!!!!

I feel ya Marla. I am almost 8 weeks and I've been at same weight for nearly a week. I am at 202. I just want to get under 200. Eventually I want to get to 150. I started at 244. I was 237 dos. I am glad for the loss but just want to see the scale move.

I'm going to try the oh yeah shakes from gnc and see if that makes a difference. I'm so sick of the tummy cramps from trying so hard to reach my protein goal.

Definitely call your doctor. I had the same stricture problem and I feel so much better now.

My NUT said nothing with seeds for 6 weeks.

My nose runs.

Thanks.

Thant you.

I am not exactly sure what are the signs of lactose intolerant. I have been having so much trouble with my Protein shakes. I posted this in another thread but thought I might get more answers if I posted it in a thread of its own. I am starting to think I have become lactose intolerant. Even before surgery I always got a tummy ache after I had milk or ice cream or something like that but I love milk and ice cream so I just dealt with it. I guess it wasn't that bad. However now it is much worse. For example yesterday I had one Protein shake and I had stomach cramps for about two hours and I just felt ill. It finally went away and I felt much better. When I think about it I get that way after I eat yogurt as well. It's just not nearly as bad. Anyone have a clue if that is lactose intolerant or if it's a different problem? Any thoughts?

Thanks everyone for your ideas. I am starting to think I have become lactose intolerant.

It's weird I can eat an egg fried but if it's scrambled or like an omelette it gets stuck.

Merderma is an ointment/lotion you put on any scar/stretch marks and it reduces their appearance or prevents them. I used it religiously while pregnant with my first son and had no stretch marks. I was too busy with my second son to do it everyday and now my tummy is a roadmap. It does help.

My nutritionist told me that liquids go basically straight through your pouch so I can drink up until the point I start to eat. After I eat I have to wait 30 minutes for a drink for the same reasons everyone listed here. One time I ate an egg that I had salted and peppered a little too much so I thought I'd just take a sip. It hurt so badly. I have learned I can't eat and drink at the same time or it's painful. I guess that's a good thing for me. It keeps me from cheating. Lol

Tuna with melted cheese sounds good. What kind of cheese did you use?

Sadly I don't like seafood I'm a picky eater as you can see what is Brunswick stew?

My doctor definitely says no so I'm not eating it but I guess every doctor is different. I love past and it sure sounds good. I just don't think it would be good for me.
