What I have learned is we are all on our own path. I think I am slower than others but you have to take into consideration that we are all different. Some have gone on pre-surgery diets, some haven't, I would say hang in there you have been losing not gaining and that is good. In the beginning we have swelling too don't forget. Put the scale away it is still your enemy at this point. Weigh yourself once every 2 weeks at the same time for true results. It will come off, just be patient!

I have been heavy all my life. Who will I be after I lose a whole bunch? I don't know but I do think about it. I am not a risk taker so that won't be my gig-no jumping out of planes, but I might try more things and be a little adventurous. Not sure what though.

Isn't sparkling Water a no no due to the sparkling part?

I love it! I am going to do that-you inspired me to do a mother daughter photo, in matching colors on the beach when I get down there. Thanks for the inspiration. You are beautiful and so is your daughter. Love your hair!

I got my first taste of all the wonderfullness this morning -- PB2 in an unjury chocolate Splendor shake made with almond milk. FANTASTIC! Took 2 hours to drink the 8 ounces but boy was it great after a week of clear liquids!
Maybe not exactly like a Reese's cup but close enough for me!

I don't have pcos and have had the bypass yet but losing 41lbs in less than 4 months seems like Amazing accomplishment! Keep up the good work!

I'm not sure what it stands for but it was nutrition and Vitamins given to me intravenously thru a PICC line.
I was able to tolerate a little beef yesterday and today. So happy that I don't have pain when I eat.

I don't have any answers. I think the best you can do is just nod and ignore them as they have done to you in the past. They are not good enough to talk to now. They just aren't.

I had the same problem! Tebowfan it will be over before you know it and it will help tremendously! i have had two strictures and two dilations. It will allow food to pass through normally, not to shoot through it and make you hungry! It is all good and this will help! Message me if you want.

of course the biggest distraction is "what FOOD" rather than "how MUCH" and "how OFTEN" did I consume it in my Days of Endless Marathon Sport Eating....
I attribute <some> of my eating peculiarities to my Own Mother, who taught that I should "never eat on an empty stomach"....

Most of the stupid advise came from one fad or another, or radical eating modifications.
Your gentleman friend may have indeed been odd - I cannot vouch for that one way or another. However, I can see how someone might get that playing chess could possibly help you lose weight. Not curb your appetite or control cravings, but give you a practice of holding your impulses, and evaluating your move, and anticipating consequences. A bit of cognitive "UMPH!" in the weight loss battle - like a good scout, maybe.
Actually, it is in large part what most try to instill upon someone trying to make lifestyle changes for long term weight maintenance.
Hmmmm!!!! LOL!

"The only reason most people are fat is because they drink soda" - my skinny friend said to me, someone who practically never drank soda (or my calories in general).

Hey, my ex primary care doctor suggested that if i would just buy the right cookbooks I wouldn't need the sleeve. She is my EX PCP for a reason.

"Protein makes you fat".....when it is breaded and deep fried.

It may not seem lucky right now but it is. Tender beef is the name of the game! I can't do chicken very well and tender beef I can. My doctor prefers a 6 months wait for beef but changed it since I have had chicken issues.

I always said I would have photos of me and my daughter together, because I have very few of my own mother. My mom HATED her picture taken. She would very rarely be in them, and mostly only candid shots taken before she could object. When she died I scrambled to find all the pictures I could of her, and there wasn't many. Therefore I always said I would do better by my own daughter, because once we are gone that is one of the only thing left for our survivors. I know I don't care how my mom looked in pictures, all I see is the mom I love and miss. Yet I have found that I too have problems being in the picture. I am hyper critical of my appearance, especially being morbidly obese. In the past five years we have had our pictures taken together twice. Well this weekend we had another round of pictures done. So far I have only received one sneak peek, but I am super thrilled with it. I am only half way to goal right now, but the pictures show such a difference. I love this shot and can only hope the rest are as good! Thought I would share...

Have two big canisters of unflavored Unjury Protein that I bought pre-op and never used (and never opened) as well as a canister of the chicken flavored. If anyone would like it, I'll ship it to you. Just send me a message.

It has been my observation that those that go low carb have higher success rates. I was a diabetic too (guess I am still but not on anything!!!) and carbs were the enemy. Even now I hesitate to put fruits back in my diet because of the fear of blood sugar spikes in even healthy foods. Forget white carbs after surgery. Stick to Protein first, then veggies then carbs and you won't miss them! Really!

Okay i looked it up- these are not scientifically verified- just so funny!

"Oh boy oh boy oh boy!!!" Yup! That pretty much describes it. My hubby acts the same way my dog does when someone opens the refrigerator door. He hopes it means he's going to get something. Lol

With Proteins you have to be careful with hot because the Protein will clump.
The Tomato or chicken Soups have to be with warm Water so that the soups don't clump.
If you are putting flavored Protein Powder in lets say sugar free Jello you have to put it in when the liquid has cooled off then mix in the powder till it dissolves.
If you out it in sugar free pudding you will have no problem.
You could add some powder to cream of wheat Cereal to help get in your protein.
You could add it to crystal light in your water.
So there are several ways of using protein powder to help get in your protein for the day especially in the early stages after surgery.
