  3. Gamergirl do you buy the edamame dried or do you do it yourself. If you buy it that way where do you get it? I just discovered this food and was also shocked at the protein content.

  5. Hello fellow September sleepers. I am two weeks out and started soft foods today. This morning I had a poached egg and couldn't finish it. Also had a few tiny bites of cottage cheese then full. I'm so surprised at what a tiny amount I can eat. I know it will change but wonder how a person could possibly get their protein and enough calories to survive! I had a shake for dinner for the protein. Good news is I've lost 14 pounds! It's been great having different foods though.
  6. I can understand your frustration. I also started at 204. Was 196 day of surgery 9/16 and 188 as of today. I'm not complaining but am concerned about slow weight loss starting out at a lower weight. How many calories are u eating a day? Did you lose a lot in the beginning and then stall? Has it been a steady slow loss?
  7. I had my surgery on the 16th. Milk of magnesia worked for me. I'm also taking a stool softener daily.

  10. Premier protein is my favorite. I like both chocolate and vanilla. The price is good and they have lots of protein.

  13. Go to theworldaccordingtoeggface website she has tons of protein ice cream recipes.
  14. Did your doctor tell you to stay at or under 650 calories a day? I haven't been sleeved yet but that seems low. I am 204 now and was told 950 after i start solids. just seems a little low for nine months out. But if that's what your doing don't fear it will definitely keep coming off. Hang in there !

  16. Hi, I'm from Arlington my doctor is Dr. Chock. I am waiting on approval but have gone through all the hoops. I will be having my surgery at Evergreen because of my insurance. I have to go to a hospital that is a center of excellence. When was your surgery? I'm also curious if you have acid reflux issues. I am hoping this isn't something that will happen to me but as I'm reading this forum it sounds pretty common.
