Glad you are feeling better... I can't even imagine what you had to go through.

I am so happy to announce that I put my scale away this morning.... After getting on it of course. I am a everyday weigher and I have decided not to get back on the scale for 2 weeks. So I "hope" I can stick to it. I figured this would be the perfect time because of the "3 week stall" talk among the boards.

I just hope that the scale moves a little while I'm on hiatus.

I don't have a problem drinking at least 64oz per day.... but I wish I were able to drink faster... Especially when working out and wanting Water. Now that I have found diet snapple and propel grape.... Things are soooo much easier. I don't normally get more than 16oz of plain water in each day but with all the teas, crystal light and other drinks mentioned.... I usually go over.

I found out this morning that 1 large egg has 43 grams of protein!!! That's over have my Protein for the day in one meal. I refuse to drink that powder crap!!! Yuk

I'm not sure where you got that info from but it's false.

1 large egg has 6g of Protein.

Yes.... I am eating soft foods no steak or anything but most stuff is pretty regular. No carbs but I have found a few alternatives.

Yes.... I am keeping everything down with no problems.

Did you find a Water that you can tolerate.

So.... It has been 3 weeks post op. How is everyone doing?

I have heard sooooo much about the 3 week stall that I have decided to put my scale away starting tomorrow... Just for about 1.5 weeks. I am one of those ppl who will stress over not seeing it move.

Do you buy the BA online or in a store? I am about to run out.

Not nearly as much as I should be doing or have the ability to do.

Yes, I get all my Protein in....

I drink a shake just once a day. I do pure Protein shakes in the can 35g of Protein for Breakfast.

I usually eat a Greek yogurt (chobani 12g) at some point in the day.

I bought the GENEPRO Protein powder that people talk about on here. It's tasteless small scoops 30g of protein and you can add it to anything hot or cold. I usually add it to my Soups and it doesn't change the flavor or texture. I bought it on Amazon.

I have laughing cow cheese wedges, cottage cheese, egg or chicken salad and deviled eggs that add a nice amount of protein when needed.

Before I could actually eat.... The one Protein Shake that is only 11oz and the 1 scoop of GENEPRO was enough to put me at 65g of protein a day on its own. So it has never been an issue.

Now that I am able to add other stuff to the mix... It's just a better variety.

I am doing great....

I did chicken broth, Jello, purred watered down Soups, crystal light, tea, egg drop Soup... I was never hungry so it wasn't hard to get those liquids in.

I am now on mushy foods.... I still eat a lot of Soup but it's nice to have the other options added in.

My nutritionist says to try all different type of Water.... Tap, filtered and brands of bottled Water. She says to try it at different temps as well because everyone is different and it may just be what you are drinking and the way you are drinking it.

I did that and I can now drink more water easily.

I have not had any nausea issues so I doubt I would be any help.

Sorry you had such a hard time... But thankfully you are doing better now.

You should try pure Protein in the can and see if your Protein issues are texture issues.

Jrachel.... Are you still doing liquids at this point to have you started mushy foods?

I noticed that I do better with ready to drink Protein vs. powders.

I have heard a lot of great things from friends that do T-25.

The biggest plus is that it's only 30 minutes but it is not easy. It works if you work it properly.

I have seen great results with 21 day fix as well... The workouts are more beginner friendly but all of the BB workouts have a person doing an easier less advanced version of the moves. Those workouts are 30 minutes as well.

That. Is. Awesome!!!!!

Congrats.

I know that has to feel great.

Alorale... That's awesome, congrats.

I'm afraid... I vowed to wait until New Years Eve!

I can't do more than walking and machine cardio either. I can't wait to throw some ab work and squats into the mix.

My surgeon told me that I just have to be patient and realize that the more you have to lose.... The faster you lose it. I guess I didn't start out big enough to drop those crazy numbers by week 3. I have seen lots of success stories from ppl who started out my size and smaller. I have also seen a lot of cheating and lack of exercise and yet they still lost a significant amount of weight by 4 months.

I'm going to "try" and put my scale away after Monday.... I don't want to be disappointed each morning.

Try meetup.com and join some single groups with similar interest as you... Try making guy friends and the dating part will just fall into place.

I have an awesome bran muffin recipe that works wonders in keeping my system moving without over doing the carb intake. I'm a year out and have tried ALOT of different options. For me, chemicals are not a solution. I'm happy to post the Bran Muffin recipe if anyone would like it:)

I would love to check it out. Thanks for the offer.

It has been 2 weeks.... How is everyone doing? Anyone still feeling pain? How are your incisions healing? And NSV's to speak of?

I am doing great.... I had my first follow-up appt with my surgeon. Everything is fine and on track so I see him again in 2 weeks. I saw him before but it wasn't a follow up as much as to take the drain out.

Still pain free and completely comfortable but still itchy around my incisions sometimes.

I have a few NSV's....

1. I can wear my wedding rings and they are comfortable.

2. I am almost a full size down.

3. I am wearing undies that were too small before

4. My feet are changing and shoes are already getting loose.

It's a start and I am over the moon about #1

And my surgeon says that I can start doing ab work and weights in a week. Yay!!!

What about you?

NICE! I have plenty of both so I will have to try it

Isn't that the one?
