That all looks pretty good , nice job! I am 15 months out one scrambled egg is all I can fit comfortably. I still drink 2-4 Protein Drinks a day. One whey 30 grams when I wake and one casein 30 grams at bed every day. Plus a pre and post workout about 30 grams each.

What? Did they say why? I understand the object is to get as much Protein from whole foods etc, but made you cut them out completely? Some people are so anti Protein powder it boggles my mind.
Cartman if you're losing, you're doing just fine my friend. If you're getting your protein, and making sure you're getting in your nutrients and you're feeling fine, you're doing it right.

Hey Susie. Sorry to hear that. Good job on the weight loss though. Its tough in Peru to stay away from the carbs. I know. I messaged you before. My wife is from Peru. I had heard that the by pass was better to cure diabetes even though the sleeve seemed to be doing it as well. A lot of cholesterol is your genes. Even if you exercise, watch what you eat and are thin, you can still have high cholesterol. While I love Peru, there medical care is not really up to par IMO. I would do the tests again just to make sure.

Thanks for the support everybody!!

Went to Bonefish with my wife for lunch today. Watching her eat the bread was tough. I got a small grilled salmon. Ate 1-2 small pieces of broccoli and most of my salmon and that was it. Waitress thought there was something wrong with my food because I ate so little!!

Couldn't tell you. Top of my head was bald before surgery!!

First day back at work. Man does it suck. What doesn't suck is my pants being about two sizes too big and my belt being on the last hole and being too big!!

The Ezekiel bread looks like it has 14 grams if carbs in each slice. Paleo bread has 100 calories and 5 grams of carbs in each slice. Still researching it.

I am about 5 weeks post op and I have to admit that there are moments when I regret the surgery as well. Very brief fleeting moments. I would do the surgery again in a second. You have to look at the long term benefits. I got the surgery because I wanted to have more time with my wife and newborn daughter. I dont want to die young and leave them alone. In the long run, the benefits far outweigh the brief joy from pigging out!!!
