I don't love yogurt either, especially greek, but I do love all the Protein it provides. So I just blend it up in my smoothies and it's all good! I get all the benefits and don't have to actually eat the stuff!!!

Skim plus does have a lactose free version.

I use Skim Milk plus, it had 12g of Protein, 110 cal and not sure about fat, for 8oz. It's really good I use it everyday for my shakes.

I'm 12 weeks out and was going between 191-192 and today is my weigh day (only once a week) so when I got on the scale and saw 189 I was elated!! Having the sleeve was the best decision ever, I'm almost down 60lbs and loving my new life ????

I was not allowed to shower, I had a 2 day stay and with the drain I wasn't allowed until I went home ????. It felt great once I did though, tell you that much!

Today is my 3 month surgiversary!!! I am so excited to say I am down 60lbs!!!
My stats:

I went from sz 20/22 2xl to a l/xl and 14/16! It feels amazing I have had so many NSVs, like wearing sz LG scrubs at work, fitting in a roller coaster with my son, and just feeling amazing! I have to figure out how to post pics on here and I will do before and afters. I love my sleeve and loving my life!

No my nut wants me to get an additional 64 Oz on tip of the Protein Shake. What I used to do and still do actually is bulk up my Protein shake, use a scoop and a 1/2 and I also add in the Dannon Greek yogurt it's 80 cal and 12g of protein. So I really get a good amount of protein from that one shake that I can sip on all day and I can drink my Water while sipping my shake.

Hi! I was sleeved 7/17, so far down 56lbs including the 6 from preop diet. I've been walking 2 miles every other day, but I have just added some running in. This past week was tough, felt like I had a lot of challenges food wise. The temptations in the house were getting to me and hard to resist. I was kind of beating myself up about it. So today I did my walk and clearing the slate. Not feeling guilty and letting it go. This is the best decision I ever made. Hope everyone has a great weekend!

I don't think it can hurt to start with the multi, and calcium/D. I might wait until after for the B12 and/or Iron. I don't take the iron now anyhow, I'm not anemic.

What about finding a Water aerobics program at the local ymca? My sister had a hip replacement 2 yrs ago only 37 and she is able to ride a bike which is considered low impact. Hope you find some relief, healing is most important right now.

In my obsession of finding WLS friendly recipes I came across a great website called BariatricFoodie.Blogspot.Com I found really good recipes and tips and the women who writes it is funny. Can't wait to try the recipes when I can eat "normal". It really gave me hope that I'll eat a good meal again! Oh and there's a Facebook page too.. Bariatric Foodie. She wrote a book on surviving the holidays after WLS which I think I need to read!

I did it! Finally hit the elusive 150 lbs! In every diet program I have ever attempted, they asked that I pick a goal weight and I always threw out "150 lbs". I have never, not once, actually made it. The lowest I got was 180 after 3 months of HCG (which, of course, I gained right back)
But after the sleeve...in 5 months I have lost 81 pounds and finally saw that 150 number!
I am thinking I might try to lose 5-10 more lbs just to get solidly in a "normal" BMI...but if I don't, I am okay with my size 8 jeans, size medium shirts and *150 POUNDS*!!!!

What do you do at thegym? Any tips or tricks for those of us just starting out?

Thanks! I will check them out, I really hate mine.

Hit Onederland recently and did not realize how much different I look till I took a pic today
Before is Easter this year, one week before surgery, 255.
The right is today on Vacation in NOLA, 198
I did not realize how different I looked til I saw this.

Had to share! I think my FB peeps are getting tired of seeing my success pics!! Lol!

I won't lie. I fight head hunger as much as the next guy or gal. I more than occasionally give in. Well, last night, after going to bed, my mind drifted to the pantry where the "treats" I keep for the grandkids dwell. The fat little devil on my left shoulder told me it would be ok to have one. The skinny little angel on my right one told me what a fool I would be, after all, yesterday was my fast day and I did so well. These two little mini-me's kept me awake for well over an hour arguing about the pros and cons of treating myself. It's after midnight, so it's no longer your fast day. Yeah, but its solid carbs and will make you crave more. Yeah, but who cares, you had your fast day....Anyway, finally I managed to drift off to sleep. About an hour later, I was awake again and they resumed their argument. Those zebra cakes were calling me. I finally did manage to get to sleep and made it to the morning without giving in. But when I awoke, one of my Chihuahuas was missing and I had a horrible taste in my mouth. Oh.....he was just under the covers . Cheers to fighting the demons off one more night.

I am 7 wks post op and I have to say being able to go on rides with my 6th and 19 month olds is the best thing ever an amazing feeling for sure.
