wishin n prayin

Doing really well. I have my good days and bad days as far as how much Protein I get in! I know I need to get into a routine, and door the most part I do. Most of the time I am just not hungry!

I was on the 24th!! How r u doing?

Friday nights have been hamburger night in my family for 40+ years and I think I want a double cheeseburger from Wendy's with large frys and a diet coke oh and a frosty. I THINK that is what I want but what I will have is maybe 2oz of shredded turkey and maybe some Soup later! That will make me feel so much better!

Do they have it in other flavors? I can't stand orange unless it's from a tree or OJ.

I'm sure they do. This is the only one ink have tried. I get it at complete nutrition and i know they give samples.< /p>

surgery was on sept 24th. i'm new to vertical talk so still looking and reading a bunch of posts. i'm doing well so far. i think i have the lactose intolerance i've read about. which is a shame sine i love milk.

Welcome! We have the same date!

Wow that is a lot! My goal is to get at least 65 grams if Protein in a day. I'm able to do that' date=' but calories is my challenge. I hope all works out![/quote']

What is your calorie intake?

Can you share what your Protein Shake is that has 50g's of Protein?

I take a V-core Vantage, two scoops. With two scoops it has 300 calories, 18 carbs and 50 grams of protein. I mix it with Water 16-18 oz or some times I put in 1/2 cup of low fat yogurt. It is the orange creamsicle and I like it. Some times I use the Isopure grape with vanilla EAS protein too. I tried the strawberry ones from Unjury, yuck! So I stick with what I like. So with that and what I eat, I think I am ding pretty good. Just need to get all my water in too!

Our numbers are almost identical but I was sleeved 9/12. Are you exercising? What types of things are you eating? Im wondering if maybe im doing something wrong.

I am just at the soft food stage, I have to set a timer to remind me to eat! Never a problem before!! I have a protein/yorgurt shake in the morning (about 50g), I try and go for a walk or go to the gym and then I have cottage cheese, then tuna or turkey or soft cheese and lots of Water (which is the hardest part for me). I did notice this week that my weight is NOT going down. I am trying not to stress about it. I just really want to be in the 180s!

What are you doing?

So sorry for what you are going through! I feel somewhat like that too, I am/was an emotional eater. My sister and I joked about it last week, I ate when I was depressed, happy, angry, sad, etc...so really I just ate. So now what do I do. Drink (water for now). I hope you find your replacement soon. PS I just started back to the gym and it has helped my attitude.

Hi all- sleeved 9/24 in Denver, Dr Snyder but I live in Fruita.

Feeling pretty good! Sleeved 9/24, HW 225, SW 216 and today 193.6! YIPPEE!!!!

Boy oh boy was I feeling that way last night. That has been my habit for years, late nite eating, just for the company. It's gonna be a tough one for me!

Thank you for the info, ????

I'm just 9 days out, and the thought of losing my hair frightens me! How much hair are we talking about? All? 75%... Just want to get mentally prepared!

I was sleeved on 9/24 and doing well! Looking forward to my future!

Hello all my 9/24's - how was your one week appointment? I seem to be doing well. Finally came home home today! I have lost 13 since surgery- happy about that but for some reason I thought I would be more.

I'm hurting, not gonna lie about that! Gas Pains. Hard to drink anything. On the bright side, it can only get better!!!

IF I can get my B/P down. 170/100 is high, so she asks if I am nervous- well YES!

I had my surgery on Monday and it wasnt near as bad as i thought it was going to be came home yesterday and slept almost all night. Im only taking pain eds at night so I can get a good nights sleep. getting all my liquids and Protein in is far from where it needs to be but im doing much better than i did while in hospital. One day at at time and I will get there! I hope all my other September sleevers and any other month for that matter are doing well!

My surgery is Tuesday and I am nervous about getting all my Protein and fluids in, how are you doing it?

Asking for time will no longer be an issue for me! I was laid off yesterday!

September 24th and scared as all get out! Scared of failure!

I got the time off and now have the surgey date: SEPTEMBER 24th!!!!!! That is 11 days away!!!!

I am not sure where everyone works but I thought the while point of sick leave is for times like these!!

I agree! This is what sick time is supposed to b used for!!!

How much time are you asking for? I was hoping to only miss 3 days of work - am I crazy????

I am asking and was approved for two weeks off! I don't think three days is long enough. What does your doc say?

I wish I could have called in sick, but some people already know. Besides they would need a doctors note for that long!

I wish you much luck! When are you going in???
