Surgery was Dec 4th 2012. Started at 364 and now down to 253. I'm 3 lbs from my first goal. Next is 220. Just not sure if that how much more I should lose. Key thing for me has been exercise. I bike about 20 miles in the morning now the the weather is nice and in the yucky days it's off to the gym.

Dec 4th 2012 was my surgery @ RGH. Down 114 lbs.

App and it be used on the web as a web radio. Like Pandora. http://songza.com

Thanks GC.... Good to know My surgery was Dec 4th so I'm a little past the 6 wks, but I've been doing a lot of cardio ( Treadmill and Elliptical). I've noticed that my stamina has increased which I'm amped about.

GNC has an iisolate Protein that has 23 gr of protein and they have some great flavors. Cookies and Cream and chocolate are my favorites. They have some other flavors that I plan on trying soon. Yesterday I tried the Syntrax Caribbean Cooler and oh my was it horrible. I tried the Fuzzy Navel the other day and that was decent. Forgot to mention the GNC drinks are very very low in carbs and sugars which is perfect for me.

I love using Pandora and Iheartradio

I'm about 7 weeks and hit the big 50 last week. I've started to walk and do the elliptical daily and hope to tone this flab up. I can't get a straight answer on when I can start to using weights.

Congrats on the new you!!

I guess every surgeon doesn't it different. My 5 day pre op liquid diet was to drink Glucerna drinks 3 x a day for 5 days and then the day before the surgery I had to drink the nasty stuff that basically cleans you out.

Not sure if that much protein is good right after surgery. I did the SF Carnation Breakfast drink for a few days and then once I was given the green light to start on pureed foods I started with a protein shake. Syntrax is good and I started drinking the Isopure at GNC. It's 23 grams of Protein with very very low sugars and carbs. I go with 12 to 14 oz of ff milk and a scoop of powder in a blender bottle. It's great as a meal replacement. It curbs my appetite. This is what I've been doing and it seems to work well. Not sure if it matters but I'm a guy also.

My surgery was 12/4 and I've gone down 5 pants size and 2 different belts. Close to going down another shirt size. Can't wait to start to really wear the good designer stuff. I have a North Face jacket sitting in my closet that I give another week and should be wearing it without any issues. I must have donated at least 5 bags of clothes to the local church.

I love Syntrax. Been buying the individual packages at my local Vitamin Shoppe.

Congrats and welcome to your new life. I'm enjoying mine

What's great about using FF jellies is the different flavors out.

I tried this the other day. Wegmans Greek Plain with SF smuckers strawberry and it was pretty good.
