How's everyone doing? I'm 14 lbs from goal. Feeling great.

Ok friends ...I need to vent a minute. My pouch is finicky. Only getting 40-60g of protein. Some days less. Not enjoying protein shakes. They make me want to hurl. Anyone ever go to a whole food place and see what they have for protein? I'm desperate. My creatinine is low and that can indicate a protein deficiency. Aaarruuggggh!

You sure did make the right decision gals...you know the saying "be patient, be kind" start with yourself. This is a huge change for all of us. Sometimes I think it's more emotional change than physical. We are here for you. It will get better. Xoxo

I screamed earlier today scaring my family ....able to fit into a pair of jeans I haven't worn in 2 years! Down a pants size. So happy.

Anyone out there juicing or blending? I'm not really getting anything other than protien...so I bought a nutribullet extractor. Once a day I blend kale, spinach, carrots, banana, apple, strawberries and blackberries with protien powder and water to get some other micro nutrients I may be lacking. Just a thought. It also emulsifies all of it so you are getting the fiber.

If you haven't had any solids no worries yet...but later remember benefiber is our friend. Molly turned me onto it and it's fab.

Hi all...I'm having a bit of emotional turmoil. Only down 22.5 not including the 6.5 I gained in the hospital. (Surg 10/2) I want it to go a bit faster. Bleh. But I am trying fork tender things. Some agree with my pouch...others don't. I was able to do 1/3 of a wendys small chili for lunch. Soooofreaking happy to have to chew my food!!! We are all losers now, so congratulations! Love to all.

Glad to hear everyone is doing ok. Good luck to all this weeks surgeries. A new life awaits us!

Good luck to everyone having surgery this week. Keep looking ahead. A better life awaits us all!

You're very welcome

For the ladies that are nervous about "life after "....this is a huge step for you. You are beginning a new journey and it's normal to be unsure. You may be in pain...it's treatable. You may have days you mourn your old favorite food, but you will not mourn the shedding of the weight that has held you back for so long. Celebrate your courage and know you are beautiful. God bless and good luck!.......Katie

Congratulations to all of the new losers! And prayers for our friends with upcoming surgery. A new life awaits us all!

I indulge in a cup of coffee in the a.m. and put the protein hot cocoa in it....instant mocha! And haven't had a second during the day but I guess I should start. It's just so stinking easy to forget to eat when you're not hungry. Thanks everyone for the feedback. I love this group!!
