They are also in bulk so if you dont like them youll be stuck again. I used to get pure shakes from my grocery or walmart.. 4 in a pack in chocolate or vanilla. Maybe youd like them and could get you through this rough patch. At vit shoppe they have a case where they have Protein sports drinks in singles. I love the designer whey blitz grape and i also like Isopure grape and blue raspberry although many dont. Fill in for now and then go back and drink up that other stuff. Im doing the same thing! I also just gave some of it away to the facility where my surgery was done. There are others who cant afford the shakes that can use it. I had protein and Vitamins that i bought and could not stand at all so youre not alone. A lesson well learned though. They suggest samples on here. Wish i had listened!

You have a massive raw wound in your stomach that needs time to heal. Your doc gave you a plan to follow for a reason. Just because some plans advance sooner and some people say go ahead, does not mean you should. You will always get the answer you want to any question you ask on a board like this so if you wante nto hear yes gonahead, someone said that. If you wanted to hear no, youve heard that as well. So do you follow the plan from the doc, who cut out 85% of your stomach only 5 days ago, or do you listen to the general public? No need to answer... . Best wishes to you.

Hey mich grand..I found that those that had known me over time, quit saying anything for a long, long time. I think i went up and down so often, they didnt really know what to say. One time i would be down a ton and the next, back to an even higher weight! It took a bigger weight loss each time to get comments. OP... Please take your measurements regularly. I cannot tell you how important that is. As you move along, there will be plateaus. We tend to lose some, take some time to do an internal readjustment then lose more. When people on here suggest we not weigh every day, they know how disappointing it is to see no change on the scale. The fact is, during those plateau times, our body is changing....thus the measurements! Yeah...weigh like every saturday morning, but each month log those measurements and do a new pic! When the scale does not move, remeasure, or just remind youself that this is part of the process. And men! Man...cant live with em and cant live without em! He could be standing there looking at you, as the person he loves, wearing the same top he has seen you in before and really sees no change because he was not looking at your fat to begin with. He sees the wife he loves and the woman that keeps him happy! If he looked at those pics the way we are and still says that, then there needs to be a conversation because anyone with an eye and a brain can see the change in side beside pics! Some people just say what the thought is in their head without thinking about the impact it will have. They call it truth to justify their insensitivity or their immaturity or whatever. Sometimes theres just no explanation other than theyre men! Sorry guys... But some men just have the "no clue" gene in spades and never get it when the partner breaks down in tears. And along the way, other people may also not be totally complimentary so you need to become more secure in your own self evaluation based on how you feel, look, move, on energy level, etc... And let the other less than kind comments roll off. Closer to goal theyll be saying you look sick your so thin! Best wishes. Hang in there! Youre doing an amazing job! MGT

PB2 .. Iocally i find it at my area health food stores. It is really good. For me, too good! It has reduced fat, but still must be monitored. It is still peanut butter! They make chocolate peanut as well! In my yogurt i sometimes mix in a half scoop of vanilla or chocolate Protein powder if i need additional protein. I found i was spending a lot on fage, my favorite, so now make it. It is a bit thinner, so i add chia seeds and other stuff like nutmeg, cinnamon or mio, put the lid back on and pack in my lunch bag.

...and loser... I am done... I have two ounces of nice tender chicken breast ready to finish off for my Protein for the day! You and your crew of six...you all have a nice evening!

I had been busy, just jumped back on and only saw your comment. Then i read the whole mess and saw that you finally realized you carried it too far and tried to rewind. So yeah...probably wouldnt have posted had i read first. I am surprised though that a person working in corrections has so little self control. Poke..poke.

Not "a senior" but i am 60. Sleeved 1/30/13. Down 30 post op and 75 from first seminar! Surgery and recovery were a breeze for me but i changed my habits preop and had a positive mindset as well! Good luck!

...and its much more meaningful coming from a woman!

Oh fyre! Is there nothing you wont say! You crack me up! How many PMs you get for being flirty? Had it written pms but knew youd have a smartsass comment to that! Ugh...taco thread hyjacked! Must be the flirt laura that caused it though!

Theres a good sizing chart on the under armor website. Probably one on the spanx site as well.

Hang in there. Once you lose some and drop your too big clothes at goodwill, it will get easier to be tough on your cravings! Warm broth and warm tea helped curb my hunger early on and now too.

I had raw veggies added last week. I began with a romaine leaf with a thin slice of low sodium turkey lunch meat and mustard. Chewed the heck out of it! Went down and settled well. Next day i added thin slices of sweet red pepper into my lettuce sandwich and the next i added baby spinach too. I also grated cucumber and mixed with greek yogurt to put over my salmon as tzatziki! It has all gone very well and thrills me to be adding good healthy veggies. Good luck!
