  1. i"m so happy for you Darianna, congrats, Im down to 276 from 350. so i know how good you feel. there is a lot of ups and down and too many stalls but we all know how the weight trip goes keep up the good work we are all here for you
  2. ok thank you i will do that I will carry a Protein drink with me to drink after workout.
  3. my clothes keep getting bigger so i guess i am losing inches should i be drinking Protein drink before working out or after?
  4. same with me i started with a trainer 3 weeks ago and havent lost a lb since . my trainer said same thing that muscle weigh more. so i upped my cardio hoping to burn more and start losing again. sure hope it works. its depressing not to lose
  5. wow 92lbs down that is so great congrats

  7. pink there are so many different kinds how do you know what brand of vitiamins to take.
  8. I have been taking Bariatric Advantage vitiamins the ultra multi formula with Iron but was wondering if there is a over the counter one i could take that is the same but cheaper.
  9. i am so glad you are doing well.kappy, each day gets bettter and betterl you are on your way
  10. hi had my surgery feb of this year. lost 60lbs so far just think of this operation as your new birthday. and this site as your new friend. everyone is here to help you. ask away and your questions will be answered but remember everyone is different just remember lots of fluids and walking.
  11. everyone is different, i was lucky , not much pain at all, i did have to sleep on recliner for a few days but thats because i sleep on my side and thats the side my stitches were on . best advice is to drink Water and walk as much as you possibly can. you may have some gas pain so walking will help the gas pass. a good trick for getting your fluids in is to set a timer for every 15 mins and drink a shot glass of water. and sip sip sip slowly. we are all here to help and give tips. this site is great as you will see. just stick with what dr. tells you and you will be fine. good luck and remember this is going to be your new birth day , a new beginning.
  12. i found if you put the pemier protein in a blender with some ice and blend it is easier to take , and the taste is a little better.
  13. Im 4 months out and just wanted to let you know it will get better each day for you. stalls are just part of it and even though they are depressing just stick to the program and your weight lose will start again. as to constipation , drink lots and lots of water if you are having trouble getting it all down, a little trick is take a shot glass , set a timer for 15 mins and every 15 min drink a shot glass of water.. it works pretty well.just remember to sip . i hope i have helped, good luck with your new life.
  14. i went through a 2 week stall , it was depressing then i desided to try something, i went back to having 3 Protein shakes a day and lots of Water and after a few days started to lose again. maybe it will work for you.
  15. was sleeved feb 18 lost about 60 lbs so far went from a 5x to 1x size the best decision i ever made, if i could only get enough will power to excercise like i should i would be better. congrats to all
  16. my doctor said as soon as all the scabs are gone i can swim
  17. im 68 and had my sleeve done in feb 18th best thing i have done..i have lost 55 lbs so far im off all diabetic and colestrol and bloodpresure meds. i can walk without stopping to catch my breath. my knees are feeling a little better.Good luck and let us all know how you do.
  18. I love Premier Protein , put it in blender with a few ice cubes and its like a shake also improves the taste.
  19. i know how you feel i am in a stall now. I am 7 weeks out and its my first stall and has lasted a week, its llike my body doesn't want to let go of the weight . its very depressing,, but just hang on , everyone says just stick to it and it will start moving again, the lbs will start to melt off again but when? so remember you are not alone , its something we all go through.
  20. like you one week out i had heartburn bad,, Call doctor there is meds he can perscribe for you that will stop that.
  21. found if i blend primier Protein shakes in a blender with a few ice cubes i can drink them for some reason it changes the flavor
  22. if you blend premier Protein choc shakes with 3 icecubes its almost like a mc donalds milk shake
