Thats why I only took a half serving, 9g sugar and 15.6 carbs even though its still way high. I go back to the surgeon on wednesday so will also talk to them.

I am 6 weeks post op and have been miserable at times with constipation. Just started eating prunes but they are high in carbs so have limited the number. Gotta start some supplements with fiber or something other that looking for dynamite!

This 2 weeks of stalling is so frustrating when I am doing everything within the guidelines. I even survived a 3 day family gathering which had goodies and sweets all over the place. I have identified that beef has been my main choice the last couple weeks, stuffed peppers, meatloaf, andchili. Has anyone else experienced this beef factor in stalling or reducing weight loss?

No added sugar is important but be sure to check the sugar that is naturally present. Per my guidelines, it should be less than 10 grams/serving. I did well through out my phases, and hunger has NOT been an issue. I am grateful for that. Like mentioned above, the unjury shakes are great choices, and the premier Protein ones are ready to goand 30 grams of protein. I think the homemade soups were my biggest treats, like carrot, and butternut squash. I had some smoothies with yogurt, kale, nectar Protein shake, and blueberries. Have fun with it, its for life. Everyday I find myself in situations or just my thoughts that smack me upside the head with "I can't eat like that anymore". Good Luck to you!

Thanks for that. My belly felt so heavy! I gained 20 of the 26# I had lost preop. Got 6 more to go to call it even!

This is off the Tylenol topic but I had my gastric bypass on 12/11. I read your story and you are amazing for hanging in there so long. I am so surprised at all the stories of the 1 or 2 day stays and a little tylenol here and there. I had complications so was in ICU for 5 days for closer monitoring but went home after 8days. Now just trying to get all the water weight I came home with. I gained about 20# in the hospital. Very discouraging! All is a process and just akes time. I keep trying to remind myself that. Hope you are doing well now.

Yes Mommabird ????. We are very close, although I do not have Ins auth so it could fall through ????. Kathy fri Ga goes in the morning. Text me anytime, My ph # is 352 232-1742. Donna

Many have said Unjury is their fave. Have to order it. Pure protein from Publix in premix bottles is good and convenient to have. Good luck

Good Luck Granny. You're starting the week off with one of the biggest decisions of your life. My week too (12/11), and I'm getting really nervous.

Hi, how are you? I am on my shakes only and have surgery scheduled for Thursday 12/11 0830, luckily only had to do the shakes for 1 week. I'm doing well but I think I need more shakes. Only had 490 calories yesterday and have a bit of a headache. Getting nervous with butterflies when I think of the big day. So the 2 of you are 12/8 and 12/10 and me 12/11. Does anyone want to do to texting since getting on the computer will not be as easy??

Just found out that bcbs wants the records of the first surgeon from my 2007 lap band. Looking for compliance. If I had great success I wouldn't be looking at a bypass.

Well we could put some pineapple and some rum in the vanilla ones, but I guess that wouldn't shrink our liver

Congrats to You!! I'll be right after you. I'm scheduled for dec 11th but don't have ins approval yet, so hopefully no glitches Drink up! Here's to choc, vanilla, and strawberry

Well Happy Thanksgiving! I guess we still get to partake in Thanksgiving dinner tomorrow. I plan to start my Protein "shakes only" on Monday 12/1. I have a co-worker Holiday dinner next Thursday. I plan to go but haven't fully decided how to handle it. Technically the dr told me a week of shakes, and I made the choice for the 10 days.

I got my biopsy results on Friday and there was no Pylori. He was a little concerned about some gastritis that was in my lower stomach. But all is OK. Hope you'll be ok too BrandyJune. Great news Kathy from Atlanta
