what kind of Protein Shakes do you do?

I use Premier Protein shakes. chocolate is the best

I wish I had ur appetite. M so jealous. I really have to track my cals. I cap it at 1200 a day bc that's what my doc says. And I'm good with that. I'm 7 weeks out and every week I get hungrier. Actual hunger. I get in 60 to 100 g of protein' date=' I measure, I eat so slowly and chew the sit out stuff. And 2 hrs later I really am hungry again.

I just want to b like u!!! I'm so scared its not gonna work. Congrats. I'm really happy for u tho. U look and sound like u r doing amazing. Any tips would b much appreciated. :-). Ali[/quote']

It's not easy. You said you are only 7 weeks out? I can't believe you even feel hunger cues yet. I would talk to your doctor it may be possible they have to redo your procedure. Did you have gastric bypass or band done?

Only about 500 some days I can hit 700 but few and far between

It's hard work but I still keep going. I hardly sway from guidelines but still have not exercised once. It just keeps coming off. I only drink Water and once in a while Powerade zero or diet cranberry juice or skim milk. I eat yogurt and Soups. No breads or Pasta and very little potato. Some days I eat half of a lunch mate. Bananas light baby bells. Protein Shakes

Sw 334

Feeling amazing!!! Definitely need some plastic surgery.

My name is HORTONSHINE on mfp if anyone wants to add me

155 pounds lost forever

Hortonshine feel free to add me

I've noticed the standards are so different from doctor to doctor

I generally stay under 5% fat per serving less than 3G of sugar and keep calories under 1000 a day. I'm more around 500-600 a day

Should of said less than 10 grams of sugar per serving not 3 grams

Or maybe there's less in it than it looks lol

Sorry surgery was August 23 2012 not 2013

I suppose there are a lot of choices that are convenient and affordable. And if you choose to overindulge you can return to what you were or are. Surgery for me changed my entire life including the way I look at food. I can now eat a bite or two and not continue in a negative way. And I'm still loosing weight amazingly. In fact much fast then my doctor expected me too.

HW 334 surgery date August 23, 2013. CW 190 weight loss to date 144 pounds.

I got them in a normal grocery store. Only 1.99.

I'm six and a half months post op.

I've just tried these recently.

These are just convenient and affordable. I rarely ever indulge. But I'm down 143.8 pounds in only six and a half months. Some places it's hard to find healthier alternatives like Atkins. We are pretty limited here

Every time I have made them they have come out great. You could add something like Greek yogurt if you are worried it will be too tough to digest.

I use extra lean ground beef mixed with a package of roasted garlic onion Soup mix and they turn out awesome.

Totally a great snack that kills any sweet craving.

Awesome find.

A full serving is far too many but having 10 is just perfect
