  1. So I had surgery 3 weeks ago and I have only lost 20 lb and I feel like I am at a stall I am stuck at 230 . I am feeling alittle discouraged
  2. so we paisana lol Mi tia did a sancocho for me the other day and it was the bomb and imma try the Peanut Butter. Have you tried regular eggs? and yes girl , preimer Protein is so good it taste like a milk shake I know all about Mangu. Im from Puerto Rico and it is one of my favorite dishes. Try reduced fat peanut butter and see if your stomach likes it. I had a problem with it feeling too heavy at the beginning but now I can have small amounts. I love egg beaters. and premier Proteins are my main source for protein. Do a "sancocho" and the broth of that gotta be super good. lol ohhhhhhhh but you know about mangu excuse me lol yes i know they have alot of carbs but i only ate like 4 baby spoon and i was full , like i felt like i went to the buffet girl . so i know this surgery is working because before i would eat a whole plate . as far as protein and Water i try everyday to get the 90 gr i need but its hard i am so sick of shakes its not even funny . you have any ideas of other ways i can get my protein n ? i know yogurt is one of them , i try laughing cow cheese that give me like 12 . also where are you located ? and when we gonna be able to see you girl post a pic lol So you had some mangu? I love Mangu. Be careful though platanos have a lot of carbs. Don't worry about stalls its only temporary and don't weight yourself everyday. Try to get more protein in and water this will help. Hey Hun ! I Am doing great ! Still having issue with getting my fluids and protein in but everyday it's get easier , today I mashed some plantain up to like mash potato form it was awsome !!! Lol plantain is a staple in my country lol we can't eat it with anything , I just hope I don't have any stomach issues later on tonight ? How much have you lost so far ? You still at a stall I feel like I am ! I been at 230 for like 5 days ughhhh
  3. omg ! i wanna thank you for telling me about premier protein !!!! it is the bomb, i don't smell the protein and it taste like chocolate milk! thank god , i really thought i was never gonna find a good protein drink I'm sorry. Uggghhh

  7. that's a good idea ! i did that today i put two scoops of Protein in my shake that gives me 60 even tho it taste gritty its just better to get it over with and not have to worry about it later but imma try 3 scoops next time , do you mix different protein together ? I am 8 days out and it was a struggle at first but now im getting much better at it. I determined that if I used 3 scoups of powder in 16 oz of milk once that was finished I would have gotten in 90 grams of protein for the day. Thats done at nighr beforw bed so I can start on it first thing in the am. I keep a water bottle that totals 50 oz of water ans still make sure I have 1 G2 during the day. It's work but its possible. Hope I gave you some helpful ideas on how to push it
  8. really! well at least you can get your Water down
