Jessi

Thanks. Every accomplishment is a small or big party:)

You look great! Way to go. Yea to sz 8!

Yea Jess! I am having a good Day too! I bought a 1x shirt a few weeks ago, (was in and have still been wearing 3x tops)because it was on sale and thinking it would be awhile before I could fit into it. Well it is red, so I thought I'd try it today for v day. And it fit! Not only that, but it also is not tight! I am so happy

I did not have one til the month after surgery. But my cycles were not regular. They have been regular since.

Thanks for the info dotted nails. That makes sense. Good job on your 70 lbs! That is awesome

I have leg cramps often.

It does not matter what way I eat it, it never sits well and even get sick from it. I think I will just stay away from it for now, maybe when I am out further from surgery date. Thanks for all the posts! I am glad I'm not the only one who struggles with chicken.

I am the same way. I can eat beef, with out issues.

I have a horrible time with chicken! I thought this meat was supposed to be well tolerated. Not me , anyone else have s bad time with chicken?

I use it! Feel free to add me jessi588.

Are any of you using my fitness pal?

I'm from Michigan. Had my surgery in Alma on 11/20. I have lost 50 lbs.

Congrats on the great loss! I'm at 50 lbs, and feeling good. Also trying to be active, much easier when you are loosing weight

When did you have yours done? Mine was 11/20.

Michigan! Surgery in Alma, MI with Dr. Bonacci

Good to know! Thanks for the info Worm!

You look awesome !

My date was 11/20. I also understand. I feel like I am behind losing weight from everyone else. But actually I think we are all doing about the same. I am down 45 lbs, and wish it were more, but I decided as long as I am not gaining I am happy.

Wow! Got my shipment from bariatric pantry. Made the matrix mint cookie shake with milk, omg! It is so tasty and a lot less fat than the Atkins. Thank you worm for the suggestion. I feel like I'm cheating by drinking this

I hope you are right worm. I just ordered some samples! Thanks for the info!

My favorite are the Atkins shakes. Also, GNC has a lean protein powder that is fairly good.

I opted for rny because I decided that I would not have surgery again so I might as well do it. So glad I did ! I have been off the reflux meds since surgery. No reflux at all, its been 2 months: ) good luck!

Start by upping calories to at least 800 then up it more. Protein I was lucky to me getting 60 then I upped it to about 80.

Also you may need to up your protein. I upped my calories and protein and lost 4 lbs in a week. Before I did that I was at a stall. Try getting more. Also to help you can use myfitnesspal it keeps track of everything.
