You are awesome!!!!!

You look spectacular! Keep up the wonderful work!!!!

The last picture is me now at 155...that was taken on 12/31/12. Thank you do much for the compliment!!!! I even got lucky to where I've had no excessive skin...although a beast lift would be up my alley!!! Lol

Pre surgery weight 280 Post surgery weight 145 Current weight 155 5'7 3/4"

Can I get your list too? I would be very interested in possibly doing something else as I had no idea about the loss of things I. The protein shots and my dr never discouraged it. I would really appreciate it! williams_sara@sbcglobal.net Thanks! Sara

I am post op 4 years 8 months. I still eat Protein first, Fluid intake etc. however I still get sick if I even remotely try to eat the foods I'm not supposed to. I was 280 pounds post surgery and am now 155. In my ideal world I was happy at 145, but am at a healthy weight for being (42 this month) and almost 5'8". Keep strong, journal daily activities etc and when you have the urge to do something you shouldn't, walk away from it and occupy your mind with something else and the feeling will pass. Good luck!!

I had a terrible time with the shakes too and ended up going to GNC to get 'protein shots' that come in 12 vials that are 3oz each. They contain 42 grams of protein per shot. Give it s try... Made by New Whey and several other brands. BTW I am post op May 2008

I'm able to tolerate brown rice in very very small amounts. I make sure protein is first, no drinking liquids 30 minutes before or after eating. I am post op May 2008...suffered a blockage and almost died 11 days after my first surgery. Had emergency procedure to fix and love where I'm at right now and would do it all over again!
