Found a protein powder to add to my soups, drinks, puddings, and yogurts. Found it at Drug Emporium in Tyler, Texas. It's called InvisiWhey by TwinLab, you add -to-anything, virtually flavorless, sprinkle-able-protein. I used it in my coffee and it did not completely dissolve. I just stirred with spoon may dissolve better with a wisk.

Congrats on your one year anniversary ! And weight loss, you look fantastic.

I'm going to try this I've been trying to get more protein in.

I'm so glad your feeling better today. Maybe you could get some sf popsicles, and sweet freedom fudge sicles for in between Snacks.

How are you doing today? I hope you are feeling better. I was thinking about you may call your surgeons office to ask if they have a support group there and join if they do. It will help talking to others going thru things you are. They may know where you can go to get help for your depression. If you need to talk I'm here any time.

Thanks for the information on slider foods. My surgeon never required me going for nutrtion classes before surgery. I guess it was becaused I live 80 miles from them.

I lived on chicken broth, beef broth, whey Protein shakes, sf popsicles, sf fudge sicles freedom, sf puddings, applesauce. Iwent from 266 to 242 I weigh 194 @ 6 moa.

I agree when they send you that rate their service let them have it. The offices that do a good job appreciates letting them know.

I went i April for my inital visit to see if I was a candidate for the surgery. Then went back in May after qualified and started on pre op diet last wk of May thru July 28, surgery on 29th 13.

Congrats MNMEMA!!!

I lived on potato soup made with 1cup chicken broth, 3 Tbs instant potatoes, I liked the garlic, applewood, flavors. Small amt if shredded cheese. Cream soups , cream of chicken, cream of shrimp very good, cream of broccoli.Grits, cream of wheat.

French fries , potato chips and Salas.

Go to your health dept, they can help you. Try and get outside if you can't walk just sit outside for a while. I know how hard depression can be, and ask your family to buy fresh veggies for you to snack on. Start back on your water every 5 min. Maybe you could volunteer at a hospital, nursing home something just to get out of the house for a while. I wish you the best, Good Luck

I am so sorry about your friend, I have been over weight all my life. My family tried to help me by taking me to Dr.s ,getting me a gym membership when I was 15. I would slip around after the family went to sleep because I was hungry. There is no telling how much money my parents spent or after I got old enough to hold a job that I have spent on losing weight. I have had cousins say if you would loose weight you have such a pretty face ,you would be beautiful, it would really hurt my feelings.I know how she hurt you, just remember that you are under a Dr.s care and if he thinks you have lost enough he will tell you. I think I would give her the cold shoulder for a while and when she asks what's wrong tell her how she hurt you by her careless comment. Mean while we are all here for you. Hope you feel better.

Congrats on your 1 yr anniversary, and meeting your goal. You great

My Doc told under no circumstance to drink anything with carbonated water in it. I haven't had any since May 2013 before my surgery. I drink sobe life water, green tea with different flavors drink it hot with tsp honey, or room temp. Good luck everyone.

Hi Mike Try sobe life water it is sweetned with stevia. It's my new cola fix lits of good flavors. Also green tea with all different flavors like acacia berry, you can use a tsp of honey in a cup of it.

Hope I can get in on next challange Good Luck to everyone
