Hi all although every week I loose weight which is a plus I only loose 2-3lbs???? What happened to the honeymoon stage??? I thought during this stage we are to loose more than average. I'm only 10wks out total loss of 55lbs YAYYY!! Now for the past 3wks I only loose like 2-3 lbs ??? What am I doing wrong?? I take min 60g of Protein daily and go to the gym 3-4 times a week with 35min treadmill and 10min elliptical. HELP!!! I want to loose a good amount of weight by my birthday in JULY 8-0

Hey girl!! Thanks and how are you?

I was so happy to hear everything was fine. I was scared to death when u posted babies heart beat was on the low side I didn't know what to say. Whewww! Relief.

I've been good thank god nausea got better. I'm slacking on my Vitamins though I have to work on that. I jus gag every time I take them not good I'm officially 9wks now back on the work flow and down 52lbs. I haven't been happier and hoping for more

Thanks all for the advice. It's great to know you can always get advice

Don't take it. I had some of the strawberry ones actually drank almost all 16 ounces and it made me feel awful' date=' jittery, heart flutters, I was anxious/nervous. It has 120 mg caffeine and other stuff in it and it took from 1230-9pm to feel better. I am a nurse and thought I was going to have to go to the ER for some valium. I also couldn't fall asleep that night until after 2 am. I gave the box away. I was almost 11 weeks out and couldn't tolerate it.[/quote']

Wow, well the funny thing is that nothing happened to me. I actually loved it and had no side effects. I will definitely put it off though.

My question was because I bought some crystal light grape individual packets for the 16 oz bottles. I just realized it says ENERGY caffeine energy and releasing B Vitamins. Is this ok or do you think I should stop??

I have no clue what it is. I call it the blob. Lol this week I'll be 9 weeks and today makes 10 weeks postop. I like girls but I prefer boys...idk why. I'm not a girly female so that may be the reason why

Too cute!!! Glad to hear everything is going well!!

Hello all!! Remind me again why we can't have caffeine after surgery ???

You look GREAT!! A total Happy healthy new person!

Where's your before pic?

FANTASTIC CONGRATS!!!!

I think that is up too you. There is no WLS rule on last time of eating during the day. Everyone has different schedules so I think what works with you is the best way to do it. I work 12 hour shifts and often wait until I get home to eat supper so sometimes I don't eat til 8. In the summer we eat later. I tend to sleep in on my days off and don't eat my first meal til between 12-2. Some people need a little snack before they go to bed. I would just find something that works for you and your lifestyle. So the biggest thing is to make sure you eat something' date=' Protein first, take your Vitamins and drink your Water.[/quote']

Thanks nienie!

Hi all!! What time should be your last meal?? I have been trying to take bites every 2-3 hrs as I can't sit down and take much. I have been going to the gym and everyone tells me that once I come back I should eat something as I am not taking enough calories throughout the day. I try to just do fluids when i return. To all the experienced what do you all think???

You look great can't wait for my results HIGH FIVE awesome !!!!

Take lots of care. CONGRATS!!!

Baltimore, MD

Down 150 lbs!

WAY TO GO CONGRATS!!! What was your starting weight?

The Calcium I cut up and chewed and drank Water with. I initially hated them but made them habit. I don't know if any of them are that great. Just an idea.

Thanks I didn't know we could cut them up

I love the carmel chewy Calcium citrate' date=' very good......from Bariatric Advantage...[/quote']

Thanks Marla will look into it. Do you get the 500mg and take it 3 times a day?

I didn't like these initially either. What I did was cut them into four. So I didn't have to try and chew that big Vitamin. Worked much better... My surgeon stated I could buy all my Vitamins at Walmart but strongly suggested Bariatric Advantage for Calcium. I have also noted a lot of people referring to taking gummy vitamins and according to my surgeon these are a no no...

Nienie!

So with this said we are able to swallow the chewable vitamins? Because I can't stand the flavor and consistency. I take Flinstones chewables. Also the calcium pill are extremely large and it's painful to swallow can we cut those too?

How are you doing? What stage are you at

I'm on the soft food stage. I just don't understand I don't eat much either as it has been a struggle since surgery. Surgery date was 2/1/13 and have only lost 17lbs since, I also exercise 3-4 times a week 40-60 min. You don't know how bad I want to loose this weight. Any trick suggestion advice I would gladly take it as you have an excellent outcome CONGRATS again!

My start weight was 334. I don't eat much tho. I eat Greek yogurt. Premier Protein shakes. Light baby bells. Beef Jerky and some fresh fruit. I only drink Water and G2 or diet cranberry juice. And I eat Soup often.

Great for you HOPE I CAN BE THAT SUCCESSFUL!!
