I'm so worried about my friend. I hope she can lose the weight and become more mobile.

Can't stop number crunching. My short term goal is to hit the nice and pretty 100lbs lost mark at my 6 month followup, which is scheduled at exactly 6 months. June 10th. So if I'm 176 now, and I need to get to 168 by June 10th, that means I need to average -.6lbs/day. I do this math daily. Ah!!
You're doing a great job Ava324!!!

Don't be scared Meamo. *big hug* Contact your doctor and an OB/GYN. They will help guide you through your pregnancy to ensure that you and you little one are eating enough and remain healthy.
Congratulations!!!

I can't tolerate nuts after 6pm or I'll have nasty acid reflux when I go to be around 9pm.

You've been given some very sound advice in this thread. I'd totally suggest writing a PROS and CONS list and be very honest with yourself.
Good luck in whatever surgery you choose.

It doesn't matter to me and I really don't feel any kind of way when members post their stories/feelings about their journey.
It is not the stories or the facts that get to me.
It is the way it comes out. It makes me feel like because I started that much bigger that I should take the walk of real shame if I was that much bigger then someone else who started at a lower weight.....It is just getting to me...maybe it's because I just got out of hospital again and another complication has slowed me down in my true journey..I don't know..
I feel that everyone has the right to tell their story and say how they feel but it leaves a bad taste in my mouth when I read these comments. It makes me feel like I am so different from others..And I am not...Others managed to get their WLS earlier before the true big issues began.. They are so lucky and yet they still beat themselves up over the past as if now still had made no difference....
I waited 4 years on a list and got sicker and sicker, waiting and waiting and my weight sky rocketed....I'm here and glad I did it and yet I feel like like if it makes no difference to those who started so much less..They are beating themselves up over the past..Where does that leave the ones that started at a much higher weight.....That's what gets me today!
I tried not to write it but I just feel so bad for us that we can't get past the damn numbers and Celebrate our amazing accomplishments and be dam proud of all of it and the fact that all of us have a second chance at life..All of us equally!
That's all I think...
Totally got that from your initial post. I personally just won't deal with any negativity like @Nicey2u.
Life is too short and you ARE a rockstar @RJ'S/begininng!

I told my boss and my HR representative. My boss was informed that this was confidential information but I suspect she has not kept it to herself. I should have kept that private considering she had RNY and broadcast that for any and everybody who would listen.
I share NOTHING personal or private with her now.

Donated 3 large bags of clothing to a woman's shelter this weekend. It was hard to part with them but totally necessary!!!

So everyone knows about adding this to Soups and smoothies and yogurt, etc. But I'm 4 months out and always looking for ways to up my Protein with "regular" food. I am NOT a cook, so I apologize for the lack of measurements. I usually just wing it.
I made a previous post about the Protein pancakes I made by adding unjury and an extra egg to Bob's Red Mill pancake mix. I made a bunch of pancakes that I froze and now have 30 second microwave protein pancakes whenever I want.
My second experiment was simply adding 2 scoops (42g) of Unjury to the mushroom Soup part of traditional green bean casserole...you know, the green Beans, French fried onion, mushroom soup casserole. I was craving that on Easter Sunday (it's a tradition) I gave 1/2 to a friend and spent the last week eating a little bit every day.
Third "recipe" is crab cakes. Mixed together canned crab meat, mayo, mustard, Old Bay spice, pepper, fresh bread crumbs (from the heal of a loaf of 9grain bread my roommate had) and 1 scoop of Unjury powder. Let it sit and chill in the fridge for an hour then cooked a small patty in a bit of oil and damn! IT WAS GOOD! I just keep the mixture in the fridge and make a patty whenever I want.
And then there's the crust less quiche... 4 eggs, spinach, mushrooms, onions, cheese, ham, 2 scoops Unjury powder, and a little milk. Poured it all in a shallow pan and baked at 400 degrees untill done. Cut it into small portions and froze them. Again, I've got yummy "quiche cubes" to heat and eat for breakfast when I'm in a hurry.
I welcome any other ideas!
Thanks for the crab cake recipe, I'll be trying that sometime this week!!!

Trader Joe's High Potency chewable, B-12 sublingual, Bariatric Advantage B-50 complex and calcium citrate.< /p>

Sounds good to me!

Well, you are losing weight just maybe not at the rate you expected.
What does your diet consist? Maybe too many slider foods are the culprit?

I tell them I'm on the Model C Diet...Coffee, Cocaine and Cigarettes.
They usually laugh and don't ask anymore questions.

It was considered a full liquid for me and I enjoyed it during that stage. Like @@SparkleCat I would add a scoop of unflavored Protein Powder.< /p>
