Yes plain fage yogurt make a smoothie by adding 2 ice cubes, 2 frozen strawberries, 6 frozen blueberries, 1 splendia pack and a banana about the size of a pinky and blend

I'm a caregiver working in a client home before surgery I couldn't tell the family had dogs and cats that have sinced past years ago, after I came back the minute I walked through that door it hit me and I swear the smell gets worse everytime I come to work.

Thanks you guys I sent request to all

Ok maybe I shouldn't of said that but that what I was called growing up I have a lump of fat on the back of my neck it's been there since I was in my teens the doctor said at the time if I lost weight it would go away so for those of you who had this when did you notice that it went away?

Aplet001 did you notice that it was hurting alot more when it started to go down?

Hi I am 5ft1 inches tall and now weigh 209 from 255 and this month on the 12th will make my 2 months post op (and I thought I was going to be a slow loser) well anyway I have a apron (fat hanging below private area) and because of it I dont look like I lost almost 50 pounds for those of you that have or had a apron when did you really start to notice a difference and did you wait till goal to have it removed?

Try Fage greek yogurt with 7 blueberries, 2 frozen strawberries, and about the size of your pinky banana with 1 splendia sugar and enjoy. I hate yogurt but it taste like a smoothie you would get from jamba juice I buy the 6 oz fage and use half of it one container is 18 gm of protein so half is 9 or you can use the whole container just use 2 splendia and an xtra strawberry and 2 more blueberries.

I live in Vancouver WA but travel to Portland offten can anyone give me the name and number to support groups in Portland or Vancouver

Hi I had my surgery March 12 I went from 255 to 217 as of last week 20 of that was lost pre op I am 5ft 1 inches tall and a female can anyone tell me how much carbs, fat, protein, I should be taking in by now? Also I want to be down to 200 by the May 12 so I am going to go back to 2 protein shakes a day and a light meal for dinner for the next 3 weeks do you guys think thats a good idea

before my surgery I would have to take my meds for anxiety everyday especially at night since the surgery I've only taken it 2 times and my surgery was March 12 so it does get better after surgery trust me.

not trying to scare you but go to the er right away you could have a blood clot in your lungs better be safe than sorry

Word of advice on the way home only take one ativan within 15 minutes you will be relax with a smaller stomach it will hit you faster I know from experience.

I to had an accident on myself while being moved to my room all they did was change my gown I had one nurse take my tv remote control said she be back in five minutes well I never saw that remote again. They were not big on picking things up off the floor that I dropped.

Today is First week out, two days in a row I woke up dizzy and even bending my head down I get dizzy but not as much as when I get up in the morning I mean the room is spinning and to top it off I've only lost 4 pounds. I started taking my vitamins 3 days ago im not in any pain so I know I don't have a leak, but I just feel blah. I went to Mexico for the surgery and received my lab work 2 days after surgery I should of questions the lab results in red maybe I was low or to high of something and thats why I feel the way I do and to make matters worse I have no insurance so going to the hosptial to get lab work done is coming out of my pocket and the sugery has wiped me out. What do you guys think

Thanks you guys I am going to drink at least 64 oz of water today and if that dont work im going to drink 128 oz.of water tomorrow and hope that works.

Well I guess im going to be a slow losser Tuesday will make 1 week since being sleeved and i'ved lost 4 pounds. Yesterday I started my vitamins and protein shakes please give me a run down of what you eat from the time you wake up till the time you go to bed plus any actvities that you do, I'm a big girl I weigh 230 pounds on a 5ft1 inch frame I should be a fast loser right?

I did eat a little cottage cheese small curd Sunday I wont try it again for another week or 2 I felt bad after eating it today I had some Safeway tomato and basil bisque it went down ok but felt guilty eating it, but other than that I thought I would of lost more also I can't tell when im full I can drink a 11oz eas protein shake and not get that full feeling.

I here TJ Marriot right now and there broth is ok but not better than MI Hospital chicken broth.
