Nov 20,2012 Sleeve surgery down 172 lbs. I am having my first knee surgery this year Nov 30, and surgeon never said anything about my weight! Yeah! Wish me luck ! Second knee will be done on Jan 4, 2016.

Hello I'm 61. Had RYN 3 weeks ago . I'm down 21 lbs..! Still a little sore but other than that no problems! Hope everyone is doing well also! Kathy

You had a leak with the sleeve? How are you doing now after gastric bypass?

That's what I want to do! Dr approved me for it just called insurance today they didn't approve me! Saudi will get a letter explains why! I am really disappointed ! I've lost 130 lbs have another 100 to go why would they not approve me! My weight loss has stopped at plateau for 8 months! How about you?

I hope you get an appointment with a neurologist soon and get some answers! Something's not right!

Fif you are far enough along I use bib lettuce for my bread with tuna salad, chicken salad or turkey burger ! Works great

Hello new to 60's ! Had my sleeve. Nov 2012! Down 139 lbs. still have more to loose have slowness down a lot! Talked to surgeon about now doing gastric bypass waiting to see what insurance says.

I don't like Quest bars either! I have to try these ! Thanks for recipe!

Add me crftskathy

Throw him the pie And pizza out! lol!

What cookbook are these from? Look like good recipes! Need to branch out and try new things!

Make your own less sodium & fat . I use ground sirloin for mine fry it up drain any fat off then pat with paper towel to get any more fat off! I have also used ground turkey or chicken and have done the same procedure. In beginning could eat 1/4 c now 1/2 cup is good! Enjoy it!

It's ok to feel sorry for yourself! You've been through a lot! Look at all the changes in your body since surgery ! It takes time for your body Ito adjust to 1/2 your stomach being gone! Any way you look at it the body is in shock! Stalls happen! We have all had them! It also takes time for head to adjust to this new way of living! Look what your eating now compared to a year ago! Even though you feel tired & wonder what the hell did I do you know you are going to be so much better off in the near future! Hang in there eat your protein and drink the fluids! You will be surprised one day when you get on the scale. & you've dropped 5 lbs! Don't weigh every day either! Once a week is enough! Your loosing inches also! Be sure and measure yourself if you have not done so all ready and then measure monthly! You'll be amazed at the inches you loose!!!

Hang in there it will pass! A lot if us have been there! It's frustrating as hell after all you've been through ! Drink your water and eat your protein! Your body is adjusting to your new tummy!

I'm 6 months out take the biotin like you and all other vitamins I have no hair loss or thinning as of yet!

Sleeved 11/20 went to Nut & Dr yesterday lost 79 dunce surgery 11 lbs before so total of 90! I've still have a lot to loose but they say I'm doing well! Jab done some sitting exercise but with bad knees can't do much else!

All I can say is WOW! You look GREAT!

I made applesauce pork Liam without the rosemary it was very good would recommend it!

Shrimp or salmon or any of the other fishes that are not fried! Have a great yime!

I mix my vanilla protein powder in my coffee in the morning . I love it tastes like a latte to me I also add some Splenda! Give it a try, my nut was fine with it !

Cristin I agree totally! I use bib lettuce as bread it holds stuff nicely. I have tacos, fajitas tuna fish salad turkey burgers etc all on the bib lettuce!

Hang in there your times coming! This is a good board you don't have to hide! We all have the same issues!

Congratulations you look great ! Keep on going!

Thanks a lot!

It's been posted before but I cut it in half because I wanted to try it first before making a larger batch. I thought this was really big enough for me. oatmeal ( not instant) 1/2 cup chocolate Protein powder 1/2 cup ( I used unjury powder) Peanut Butter 1/2 cup ( I used chunky Skippy) sugar free maple syrup ( enough to make mixture come together) Splenda sweetener packets 3 Heat peanut butter in microwave until warm. Add the oatmeal, Protein Powder and Splenda mix together with a spoon or fork. Add enough sugar free maple syrup to make the mixture come together so you can roll it into balls. I made them about an inch and got 12 balls out of this recipe . I still have to figure calories and protein amount. Refrigerator or freeze in airtight container.
