I just bought some online at Quest dot com. They're kinda pricey but I love them. And the Choc chip cookie dough Protein bar. I eat half, put it in the microwave for a few seconds and it is heaven. SD:1/28/13 HW:358 SW:338 CW:297

Alright!! SD:1/28/13 HW:358 SW:338 CW:297

Those look great. U have to try Quest Protein bars. They even have a 20g Reese's cup. SD:1/28/13 HW:358 SW:338 CW:297

I make chicken meatballs. Day old bread soaked in milk. Squeeze the excess milk out. If u don't have this, u can use bread crumbs. Add it to the ground chicken with salt,pepper,egg, parsley, oregano, basil and grated parm. This is an optional step that I add: I sauté onions, garlic and peppers until soft, let cool and add to meat mixture. Form into balls and bake at 400 for 25-30 mins depending on how big u make them.

Thanks ladies!! SD:1/28/13 HW:358 SW:338 CW:297

I'm sorry it turned out like that. Happy Birthday! Wish u lived in jersey, I would've taken you out! :-) SD:1/28/13 HW:358 SW:338 CW:297

It sure does. A few ppl said it was uncommon to vomit as much as I do. I never thought this would've happened to me. I've done fertility drugs and everything. I just gave up. I'm still in shock. SD:1/28/13 HW:358 SW:338 CW:297

Yeah!! Just had surgery about 5 weeks ago!! Gpnna make an appt tomorrow. SD:1/28/13 HW:358 SW:338 CW:297

I had a dream last night/this morning that I took a pregnancy test and it was positive. So this morning, out of curiosity I took one. It's positive! Wtf?! I took 2 more and the same outcome! I've been trying for over 10 years to have another baby. Idk what to think or how to feel. I feel like one of those clueless teenagers "I didn't know it could happen to me!" Even if you've been trying unsuccessfully for a long time, be careful!! SD:1/28/13 HW:358 SW:338 CW:297

I use straws everyday. SD:1/28/13 HW:358 SW:338 CW:297

I use that shampoo as well. I also do egg and mayo conditioners every week. Yes raw eggs and reg mayo. Rinse with cool Water so you don't have a head a scrambled eggs lol SD:1/28/13 HW:358 SW:338 CW:297

Everyone is different. I had RNY on Jan.28 and I throw up at least 3-5x a day. Surgeon said it was ketones and eventually it will pass. Almost all day I'm nauseous and I dry heave and gag. For me it's not an immediate vomit (tmi) more of a "you feel it coming" and it's only foam and slimy saliva. It sucks because I can't go many places. Threw up earlier today at a high school fair with my son. I wanted to stay but I couldn't and cried all day. I hope you're one of the ones that don't go through this. SD:1/28/13 HW:358 SW:338 CW:297

Hi! Invest in a magic bullet or a really good blender. Good luck on your journey. There are days when I regret getting RNY because I'm going through a severe nauseous and vomiting stage but the 40 lbs I've lost 5 weeks keeps me motivated! This is a great group of people and you'll love it here! SD:1/28/13 HW:358 SW:338 CW:298

2oz of pan seared salmon with a soy & honey glaze. 2 pieces of imitation crab. I'm thankful to find something solid that I can eat and I guess seafood is what it is! SD:1/28/13 HW:358 SW:338 CW:299

Awesome. Keep up the good work! SD:1/28/13 HW:358 SW:338 CW:299

That's awesome. So glad you guys have each other for advice and support! SD:1/28/13 HW:358 SW:338 CW:299

I had a dream the other night about a smorgasbord of delicious food and as soon as I was about to sit down and eat, my son woke me up! I almost cried lol dream felt so real! SD:1/28/13 HW:358 SW:338 CW:299

I could never get a definitive answer from my surgeon. At the seminar I specifically asked if he did the surg laparascopically and he said yes. I didn't know it was open until the nurse removed my drain and exclaimed "your surgery was open?" I was shocked, horrified and upset. And to too it off, I was discharged 30 hrs after surgery. I was told he always does RNYs openly and I had a hernia as well. I've seen other ppl on the forum with hernias have the surg done laparascopically so I'm still confused. If you click on my name and the forum started by me entitled "surg in the morn" I think that's the name, I have a pic of my incision. SD:1/28/13 HW:358 SW:338 CW:299

Hi! Welcome! SD:1/28/13 HW:358 SW:338 CW:299

Had about 3 small bites of steak. Felt really uncomfortable for about 20 mins. So I guess I'll have a frozen strawberry chobani. They're so good like that. SD:1/28/13 HW:358 SW:338 CW:299

Awesome!!! I can't wait til I reach that. I did reach 299 the other day and it felt great! Keep up the good work girl!! SD:1/28/13 HW:358 SW:338 CW:299

Post link plz nd congrats! SD:1/28/13 HW:358 SW:338 CW:299

Yes it did hurt and I had open surgery so I had a huge cut from under my breastbone to almost my bellybutton. Took almost a month to recover. SD:1/28/13 HW:358 SW:338 CW:299

Thx guys. I tell you this sure is a new life. Feels like a Protein & Water merry-go-round! Do you know of anything other than zofran that works for nausea? That doesn't seem to work for me. SD:1/28/13 HW:358 SW:338 CW:299
