  1. I bought the magic bullet but it circulated to much air that wound up in stomach limiting what I could consume. It was undrinkable if I added any milk. Most of the time the froth would not dissipate no matter how long I let it sit. And once you put ice in, the froth is locked in. I tried just ice and Water first then adding the Protein powder but the crushed ice melted to quickly defeating the purpose. The immersion blender was better but still created too much froth.
  2. I am not really sure what's to post this. The bugs section doesn't seem to have any posts so I don't think there will be any visibility. I am only using the mobile app version : Old version Pictures usually don't load. Usually there is just a Grey spot where a picture should be. Sometimes they load but more often its Grey. Pro version: I can't figure out how to enlarge the pictures from the thumb nails. When you click a picture it opens a reply with a quote.
  3. I had clumps for the first few months until my chemist wife figured it out. Use room temperature water first. Use about 2/3rd the recommended amount. Shake it with the blender bottle. Make sure you use the whisk they come with. Shake shake shake. Then include the ice to make it cold. You should end up with the recommended amount of water once the ice melts a bit.

    Ditching the protein shakes

    I doubt this could be done without shakes. It's tough enough to hit our protein goals even with the shakes.
  5. This is insane. Beautiful before and beautiful in a different way after. You're accomplishment is just stunning.

    First day at the gym and I passed out!

    So time had past I I think I figured a solution. I want taking in enough carbohydrates , sodium, liquids. The most important for me was sodium once I upped my salt intake I haven't had any dizziness . I still struggle with consuming enough liquids to avoid dehydration. I'm just glad the dizziness is gone and I'm able to work out pretty hard at the gym
  7. I literally had the same experience. My dad is better than anyone I know at respecting personal boundaries. But I went to church and someone came up to me asking how I was doing. I was so pissed at my dad and the situation he and the individual put me in. I just thought it incredibly rude of the individual to ask me the way she did. My wife was even blown away. I thought I had gotten over this but reading your post brought back the memory. I don't have a clue how it can be made right.
  8. I am excited to finally be able to shop for clothes any where I want.
  9. Jess, This is so thoughtful of you. I live in Santa Clarita but also work all around LA and North LA. But.... I too didn't like the premiere chocolate. The vanilla were OK but I got sick of those. Again. This was so sweet of you. I wish I could take them off your hands.

    carbonated beverages

    If there was one thing you had to give up, it should be soda. Even sparkling water is loaded with sodium.

    Motion sickness and the sleeve

    Before surgery I did ok with planes trains and automobiles. Boats are not bad, but not great. Rollercoasters have always been a nightmare. After surgery... Rocking in my arm chair makes me dizzy. Test the waters first. I actually did test the waters in a pool. It didn't go well.

    Always eating

    Eating and drinking have been a chore for me. I rarely hit my Protein goal but when I do, it's because I consumed so many oz of liquid I was alternating Drink / eat/drink/eat. The gym has been a life saver for me. It's a ton of work, but it gives me plenty of energy, makes me thirsty and hungry for protein. But I do feel like my life revolves a round good now. And snacking has become a necessity.

    3.5 months out & first bikini shot

    Your skin has retracted very nicely. You look awesome.
  14. I share your problems at the gym. But i knew it was very important to let my trainer know what was going on with me and my surgery. This didn't prevent an episode (I passed out for a few minutes). I found out that when I perform an exercise that puts my head below my waist I get light headed. So my trainer just tailored my workouts to avoid this.
