Ooooh boy!!! Congrats!!! I can't wait to join you!

congrats!!

I love my Protein shakes! I look forward to one every single afternoon.

I hope you get better soon.

Good for you!! Keep it up!

I would binge on sweets before surgery. I realize I'm only 3 months out, but I have no desire for sugar at this point.

I found that I didn't care for thick shakes after surgery. But I love Syntrax nectar Lemon Tea. I add a little packet of Crystal Light Peach Mango tea to up the flavor. I actually look forward to drinking this every single afternoon!! I mix it with 20 oz of Water and add ice.

Water tastes odd to me now so I use mio drops every day.

My insurance approved in 3 days. Some take 2 weeks or longer. Good luck!

I don't think my smell has changed but my taste has.

Good for you!!

What proteins shakes have you tried?

Follow your surgeon's recommendations.

They have 550 calories and under choices. Eat what you can and take the rest home.

Feb 10 to today isn't 3 months and 1 week. I think you accidentally miscalculated. (I was sleeved on the 6th is why I caught that so quickly!) I've lost 30 pounds since surgery so I don't think you should be disappointed with your loss. Getting really upset just fires off cortisol and slows down losses. Concentrate on each and every positive thing you are doing.

You are still swollen from surgery. If you follow the directions of your surgeon, the weight will come off.

Did your surgeon give instructions? I couldn't have banana until pureed/soft stage.

You look great! Way to work it!

keep it up!

I slept on my side after a few days. Everyone is different. Good luck!

good job!

2 weeks prior.. 2-3 Protein drinks per day. Light meal at night.

You'll be surprised at how differently you look at food post surgery. I can look at a cake and not have the slightest urge to eat it.
