  1. 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.

What do you guys think

  22. Julie66 what are you doing to lose weight so fast and how much where you on the day of the surgery
  23. I was wondering if anyone know for sure how much of their stomach was removed I heard anywhere from 65 to 85% the reason im asking is I would think the more you had removed the faster the weight loss plus less or no hunger and did you have a choice how much you wanted removed?
  24. I started my pre op diet last wednesday ive lost 14 pounds very close to 15 I drink Eas soy protein powder I mix it with a half of cup of water and a half of cup of light soy milk I drink half then the other half 3 hours later and then after thats finshed 3 hours later I drink the eas shake the pre mix again I half it up then for dinner I have a salad with either chicken, fish or 2 eggs I feel full not hungry I guess cause im drinking every 3 hours oh I also drink almost a gallon of water a day. I only have to do the diet for 2 weeks but I decide to do it for 3 weeks at this rate I may lose 30 pounds before surgery that would put me at 225.
