I can down salad too. But I focus on chewing really welk..so I don't worry about it. Once its all ground up its a fraction of the starting size. I'd still measure tho at 7 weeks. I'm 4 months next week.

Pre surgery I was very regular. Post op for weeks I was going every 4 days. Until I added back in a little salad at week 14. Now I'm regular again.

Im 4 months post op and can't drink water. I drink propel zero. Its sugar free calorie free plus has vitamins.

My program won't do lap bands anymore. I went into this thinking bypass but then learned about sleeve. I was sleeved back in October and I love it. Its given my kids a healthy active mommy. My husband has a healthy wife. I have energy and zest for life again! Love my sleeve!

My kids do the same thing for me too. Its a game for them.

Ali Vincent, a past season winner said in an interview that when she won her season that she stopped gettinf her period. She was obsessive about it and she had health issues while she was that thin. She said the same thing..it was a contest. .she did what she had to do to win it. Even if it meant losing her period. I stopped watching years back because of this. Its unrealistic.

I felt weak and lightheaded until about week 12 post op. Take it easy and listen to your body. Everyone heals at different rates.

Oh for sure. I had a friend a while back that went for a free consultation there..and their program was their food and tons of expensive supplements. Nothing right about that.

I'm happy getting 48oz in. My nurse and nut want more though.

Anyone else get irked at the newer Medifast weight loss commercials? ! Both people made a point to say.."I lost weight the RIGHT way on medifast.." Each time I have to quick mute the tv. It feels like their trying to shame us and I just see red for a few minutes. Anyone else?

Just remember to make sure its cold first. It needs to be cold!

Ha! Me too!

My family has juiced for the last year n a half. Kids love it, they go nuts to help make it and drink it. Husband lost 35 pounds drinking green juice last year. He's put a few back on because of winter so he's planning another juice fest to lose the few pounds this spring. We heart our breville juicer! I did drink it post op for a week or two when I wasnt getting much in me. Haven't had it recently. I should add this... I started on a cheap store model, spent 50 on it. It lasted 3 weeks. Then I spent the $ on a breville. If you think you'll stick with it long term, I would just spend the extra and get the lowest breville model. They have several models and price ranges to choose from.

My pre op diet was 5 protein shakes per day. That was it. Did that for 16 days.

That's pretty darn good! Stop comparing your loss to others loss. No two of us are going to lose the same rate. My 2nd month was my slowest month.

Im 4 months next week and I'm doing the elliptical, recombamt bike, and a Water jogging class. There are yoga days as well. I will have a heavy cardio day, followed by a light workout day, then rest day. I keep on that pattern.

Do you make your own seafood salad and shrimp burgers? How are shrimp burgers made?

Yeah, I hear ya. I went as low carb as I did because I loved the Dukan Diet from years past. I'm not sure the average person is able to go as low carb as I did. I would say, if you've done the low carb eating in the past, and you liked it then go back to that. I stopped only once I stopped losing weight. Then I reevaluated things and upped just a little. I'm averaging around 33-45 carbs now per day. I'm 4 months post op next week.

Each of us has a personal preference. I kept mine under 24 until week 12.. then I upped because I hit my first resting period. Most track everything, so my thought is to track and see where your body is happy while still losing. Eventually you'll have to up them a bit just to keep yourself going.

Ahhh...thats what that means! Thank you for the tutorials, much appreciated.

Oh..I've had run ins with one of the nuts in my group. Last time I was there, was for my 3 month check up. She told me to stop eating greek yogurt and beef Jerky..and to go back to the shakes abd skim milk. When its noted that I'm lactose intolerant and don't want to take the pills for it. Then she told me not to trust myfitnesspal and their database. Even after I told her I don't eat it unless I can check the stats beforehand. All of this and at that point, I had lost a staggering 38% of my excess starting weight..at 3 months. I was doing well and getting most Protein from real food. Needless to say I called my nurse and informed her what was communicated to me. That was taking several giant steps back words and I wasn't having it. I told her that I would continue on with what she had approved already and follow what my book said. She agreed. Then I asked the front desk to note in my file that I will not see that particular lady.

Misty, do you think the flex would be ok in an hour long Water jogging session, I'm under water for the whole time so it would be under the whole time. Do I tap in the center or more towards the one end where the plastic thing is? Thanks for the help you guys!

Sorry for double post...my wifi wasnt working right.
