I did both. And guess what? It worked. I also started weight lifting more and less cardio

Thanks it is crazy you call me Jazz...All of my good friends call me that. Maybe you are going to be a good friend!

wow six oreos! I don't think I could do that. I can barely eat anything. I am a taste here a taste there. Going liquid for the rest of this week. I need to shake my body up!

5lbs down last week! YES!

1. I am getting married in July! Congrats and you can do it! I suggest if you don't do my fitness pal at least journal to see what kind of food you are taking in and how much as well as your activity and Water. Also try to get some sleep. It also helps! Good luck I am rooting for you.
   

I will go buy me some bananas....and oatmeal, to eat an hour before I work out! Thanks guys

Thanks will do!

I am so mad right now. I work out atleast 3 hours a day once in the evenings and once in the morning. I am trying my best to eat when I should I can't get over 800 calories in, I am feeling more and more exhausted each day.......and I AM AT A STAND STILL! My doc says more Protein, my nutritionist says more calories, and my trainer says more carbs so I can have more energy. I need to hear from someone who has had the surgery because none of these people have. What do I need to do?

I do this all the time! But I use instant coffee powder (Bru - the most popular brand in India). I just add 1 tsp coffee powder to my vanilla Protein powder and blend it with cold milk or milk + ice cubes. I dont like the skimmed milk or soy milk so I just use regular milk (3%). I love that cold coffee shake!!

The only way that I can get my Protein shake in is by adding either coffee or reduced-fat PB. I like both variations.

How do you use the pb with Protein, Not sure how that works?

Does that kinda make it taste like coffee with creamer and sugar? How strong is the vanilla taste over the coffee taste?

The vanilla taste isnt strong at all. It tastes like coffee with creamer.

@ Jazzmin

My Doctor said it is much to hard to digest.

Plus, other sources offer more protein!

Like tilapia and salmon.

I don't really miss it that much!

Well, I do miss carne asada

But its ok, there is plenty of other options out there!

carne asada is my fav!

try a small cup of coffee and add a vanilla Protein shake.It is soo good. I get my caffine and my protein and I don't need sweetener because the shake makes it sweet. I swear I love it!

OMG jhansen those are BOTH perfect. I do the stink master/murderer every other day then the helliptical on the alternate days. Yep, that'll work lol thanks!

How long do you do on the stair master? I am still on 30 min on the helliptical. I think I may need to move up on the helliptical. I do 30 min at 5.7mph.

@ LouiseC I thought I was the only one who loved tuna mixed with cottage cheese

I have been obsessed with that for years!!

Plus my 100 calorie dry roasted almonds, yumm.

Another good go to snack: turkey jerkey!

Love it, since my doc said no beef for a year!!

Turkey Patties are awesome too!

Tilapia is an great source of high Protein.

Why no beef for a year? Just asking. Wanted to know if I should try that.

I LOVE Zumba! After a while you lose yourself in the music. Just keep moving and don't forget to have fun. Sometimes I find myself making my own adjustments if I can't get a move.

I am not sure on the Water. I will try both. More water and lotion.

Is anyone else shedding skin, first it was my face, now my feet and stomach and arms. I feel like I am growing a new skin. Am I a snake?

I use the whey protien, I have the choc one and vani one no sugar it makes the pudding even better plus it makes me feel like im not just snacking im actually getting something good out of it lol. I just do a tbs of the powder and stir it in

Thanks I am going to try that. What pudding do you use?

I am 8 weeks out and have been eating salad for a few weeks now. It is one of the few things that doesn't seem to upset my stomach at all. I actually eat a lot of lettuce' date=' I have turkey lettuce wraps and cheeseburger lettuce wraps.[/quote']

Where do you get the lettuce wraps? And how big are they?

Awesome Jazz. You have a beautiful family. Glad you are doing well. Are you still eating mostly Soups and mushies?

No I am on foods now.

I need to start with more veggies but its hard when you eat the Protein. I want nothing but veggies, trying to find veggies high in protien.

I didn't know we could have a lobster bisque. I am very proud of you. Can I ask how much protien was in it?

On March 30th I had surgery. I am 38 lbs lighter and I feel great. I am just trying to get a hold of what I can and cannot eat! I want to be a healthier skinnier me! I also want to maximize my weightloss and not get stagnant. So I am not trying to make any bad decisions.
