Good afternoon friends...Thank you AtlantaRed, Deez, Wombat, Sabrina, and Wendy for your answers and information.I REALLY appreciate it! I read just about every word that the "Brighaman" had to say...I wish I could of read it day one after surgery because I have made a few mistakes..Oop's! Oh well...I have learned so much just being on this site and all that you have to say...Thanks ...Thanks.. Thanks.Deez, so glad you are doing so well now. Well I am off to buy a scale (food scale) and to the gym. Have a amazing day friends.

I had a week or so where I didn't lose any weight but it's starting To come off now finally. I definitely count the calories from protein shakes as part of my over all calories which I have felt drinking slowed down my weight loss by a ton. So at this point I'm trying to eat mostly tuna no and foods with more protein because I'm just not down with the shakes anymore. This girl on here told me she drinks about half of an isolate drink a day just to help her hair so think I might start doing that. But over all the shakes just have way too many calories for me. Good job starting the gym soon! I hope everything works out for you.

Thanx! I did feel so much better afterwards. I definitely need to work on my Water and Protein intake as well. Glad your water retention is getting back to normal! I feel like mine is off balance still but I'm making progress in every area each day. One month out so happy for you! Didn't think I'd be feeling so good after a month but I am and I hope you are too

I was having a lot of pain today but it was the first time since surgery I have had my period and I'm very constipated so I wasn't sure if it was just or if something was wrong. So I decided to go to the hospital and run some tests which I'm very happy I did. Nothing was wrong thank goodness but I got my surgery in Mexico and haven't seen a doctor in the states or anything since. It was a great feeling to have complete tests done and know for sure everything is healing really well and nothing is wrong. Now I can continue on confidently until I find a doctor here to continue with. I'm so glad I went! And that everything is fine. They also gave me lots of medicine for everything so things should run smoothly from here on out. Hope all of y'all are doing well!

I get my sleeve February 22 I'm so excited That this year I will actually Wearing a Swimsuit Enjoying the summer again

Stalled for about 10 days now. Sleeved Dec 23. So glad for this board because I'm waiting it out and not stressing. How are you doing?

Hi everyone! I'm Sabrina, I'm 24 height 5'4 and I currently weigh 195 my goal weight is 105. I got my surgery dec. 21st 2013 starting out at 215 pounds so I've lost exactly 20 pounds in one month. I think I should have lost more it seems like most people do. How much weight have some of the other December members lost? One of the only issues I'm struggling with right now is Protein. How are we supposed to get all that protein without sucking down a million calories? It seems like every drink has so few g's of protein but soo many calories. Has anyone found a good low calorie high Protein Drink? Or found Andy foods they are fond of that are high in protein low calorie?

My new life started December 30,2013. I had my ups and downs but over all I've been good. Went back to work full time just after 7 days and I glad I did because it made me busy. Well now tomorrow I start school and I am taking 6 classes. So besides working and taking care of my sleeve, I will have another thing on my plate. I hope I am not over doing it. I also workout 4 days a weeks. Don't ask how I find the time to do it.. Haha.. Just trying to graduate next December with 2 majors in law so excited. I wanna be a skinny bitch lawyer hahahaha .. Ok sorry don't want to sound coincided but I am just excited
I am craving some food so badly but thankfully I am keeping my self busy.

I don't have a nutritionist, I got my surgery done in Mexico. My insurance doesn't cover it so it was really the only way to afford it. I think I'm going to try the isolate Protein Drinks. I mean I have tried them before but out of all the ones I've tried they have it at the GNP down the street and I don't hate it lol. I'm glad to hear the back pain I had wasn't extremely unusual. Because it was really starting to worry me. I think I'm going to find a doctor here in the states and get checked out to make sure everything is okay. Thanks for all the advice guys.

And btw you can start with the bullets almost right away because they're not very thick it's not a shake in the beginning I think that's perfect for you

I'm very curious about this too. My doctor recommended whey Protein and the protein bullets but all of the shakes are so high in calories and surprisingly low in protein. The protein bullets were the best for starting out in my opinion, 200 calories but a WHOPPING 42 g's of protein. Two in a day and you're set. However after you are allowed to start eating again that's just WAY too many calories in my opinion unless you cut out a meal and who wants to do that?? So if anyone can recommend a low calories high Protein Drink or shake PLEASE DO!

I got the Muscle Milk (chocolate) 100 calories kind and did not like it at all. There was a big after taste.
What I did LOVE was powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury brand Protein Shakes, you can only get them on-line (or that is the only place I have found them). They have around 22 grams of Protein and 100 calories. They have a neat sample pack with a variety of flavors. I tried Unjury and nothing else has compared. No after taste and it is actually good!
Hope this helps and Good Luck to you all!

Hello All! I have my surgery set for Dec 3! I have completed everything , except preops, to be done before Tgiving. Ive been heavy all my life, I will turn 50 next Feb and I want to get healthy! I have lost and gained 100lbs 3 times in my life, and I need this to be the last time.I am ready to change my life and get healthy. Im 5 foot 5 1/2 , 230lbs. I want to be 150. That has been the best weight for me, but Im willing to go further down! . My family is so supportive and my deductible is paid for the year and my surger will be a grand total of 254 dollars. I am contemplating what Protein supplements to purchase, Ninja or nutrabullet.

Although I have 26 more lbs to go to be in Onederland, I was thinking the same thing today. What can I do to Celebrate my victory. I will allow myself a LITTLE treat, but I wear a Pandora Bracelet, so I am going to get myself a new charm! To me, From me!!!
Congratulations on your upcoming victory!!!!

Eating late at night... I eat very little but good for me stuff during the day but consume 75% of my calories at night.... frustrating.
