  1. Which ingredient is making this high protein? And what the serving size and how much protien do you get from each serving? thanks sounds yummy
  2. Yupp that sounds like my mom i had a complications after surgery and had to be put under again when i woke up my mom Had called everyone and their cat and there were like 7 or 8 plp in the hospital one lady i didn't even know!! Again her reasoning was she was stressed about my complications but really call everyone and have so many of them come down to the hospital. Anyways I after found out from my husband that she jad told plp way before surgery in the 3 days leading up to my surgery. I forgave her but I was extremely pissed
  3. If no weight loss would be part of it than no. I managed my diabetes before surgery. And now no more diabetes and I'm losing weight. But if I was only going to get rid of my diabetes again nope
  4. I was told by my team that walking as much as you can even if it's 10 min 3 times a day and full exercise of course to your comfort zone by the 3rd month. Ask your team see what they say
  5. Hey!!!! Congrats so glad you're ok and things went well @@Calgirl26
  6. @@Ivanova8 glad to hear from you!! Ua completely agree with you I'm still not able to eat "normal food" as so many things don't sit right. I'll be there on Wednesday so can't wait to meet you
  7. Well my OBGYN and bariatric team strongly encouraged RNY because of my PCOS. This surgery is really supposed to help with symptoms and get rid of it all together, part of my symptoms are completely irregular periods and never ending periods like unless i used depoprovera mine would never stop so I'm 2 months post opp RNY and as of yet no changes in my symptoms I've been on my period almost since surgery with only 2 weeks free, but i feel it's almost gonna stop. Now my current issue now is i can no longer use the depoprovera needle cause of osteoporosis so I'm still working with my team as to what birth control/hormone treatment will work for me with Rny. Also i was told by my team that as more weight comes off the symptoms should disappear. So here's hoping they are right.
  8. Hey welcome I'm 30, im 2 months post opp gastric bypass , took me about a year and a half to get surgery. i live in Canada and would be glad to answer any questions you might have. You can message me privately too
  9. Totally agree every peroson is unique. And every story is different. Even if we share similarities.
  10. Yes i had the same thing happen. Mine would get worse when i drank my protein shakes. I got antibiotics for it from my GP. Or else you can wait it out it will pass

  17. To me anyone trying to change their life for the better is inspiring. Let's remember Whitney has expressed that she wants to lose weight and be more active that's why she's wants to teach dance. So if a meth head was cleaning up and doing it in a positive way i would applaud them. I think sometimes the problem with overweight plp being stereotyped is because we stereotype ourselves and let others opinions of us become who we are. Or maybe I've just been to confident with myself!
  18. @@Folly ok but you're trying to say that we all have food addictions? Not all obese people are obese or over weight because they have a food addiction. And all people are exploitable kate plus 8 small plp big world sister wives 90 day fiancé intervention say yes to the dress and i could go on and on about how tlc has made billions exploiting plp. Let it be known that some plp have hormone issues that cause weight gain some have medications that cause it some have food addictions etc. Let's not generalize. And my biggest point was let's not assume that because someone is over weight they have more issues than anyone else and are less happy than other plp.
  19. Ok. So here goes, i really can't believe some of us are criticizing the people who we once were! So on Whitney and her show why are some of you so in shock a fat person can be happy? Is she not a human and as humans are we not entitled to be happy sad grumpy etc regardless of our size. Fyi there's a lot of unhappy skinny plp too! That being said it's TV reality TV at that. Think about thus for a second. So i like to dance I'm kinda good at it especially for my size i post a video on YouTube and get a million plus views! That means I'm getting a paycheck from YouTube I'd be happy. Second because of that video I'm now a tv star! Making probably around 250 thousand dollars a year hey I'd be happy with that too regardless of my size. Sooo why must she be unhappy???? Second of all about the size 22 model, so when they only show size 0 models we complain when they show fake "plus size" models we complain now they show someone who looks more like some of us do or did at some point we still complain!! Really! And about the biggest looser comment that's marketing. shows like my 600Lb life has opened up the eyes of a lot of plp to weight loss surgery and it's benefits so less plp are singing up to all the other programs the biggest looser has which means they aee losing money. Eg. The biggest looser camp is 2000 a week go for a month that's 8000. So ya when more plp stop paying them money they are going to do and say whatever they need to to get more viewers and ratings etc. And finally as an obese female all my life really since the age of 6 i feel really bad when plp feel that because we are big we can't be happy. And guess what in my 30 years of life i have been happy sad and all emotions in between some emotions were about my weight some weren't I've experienced my life in all kinds of highs and lows and have lived a normal life and accomplished plenty. I feel and know that all of us humans regardless of sizes have ups and downs in life and good times and bad. I choose to have WLS because i want to be healthy as my weight was causing me a lot of complications and health issues and because of course I'm dying to meet the skinny girl inside of me. Buy I'm very clear that although being skinnier will make happy to some degree it won't mean everything in my life as life so much more than how much i weigh. Also lets keep in mind skinny plp have health issues too and some of us gained weight because a million different things. Just like some skinny plp can't gain weight for many reasons. Ok so long story short let's be less judgemental and stop assuming what others feel. Lets focus more on bettering ourselves and doing what makes us happy. Whatever happiness is to you. And reality tv is far from real. Wishing the best to everyone
  20. Also I should add i have no appetite so i have to remind myself to eat
  21. Hey all i had RNY December 1st so im a dew days shy of 2 months. So my diet was 2 weeks liquids 2 weeks puree and 6 weeks soft foods. First 3 stages were good no issues when i started soft foods i was doing well as well but I've noticed that now almost nothing sets well unless it yogurt really soft cereal. Even my go to ground beef and beans isn't really setting well. I have a few bite and get nauseous so not even eating 1/4 cup. Protien bars seem ok but everything takes me forever to eat like almost an hour if not more. Things weren't like this at first is it that my pouch is less tolorent now that I've healed more?? Anyone else go through this?
  22. Walmart is good i got my first batch of vitamins from them
  23. I bought mines at a pharmacy no issues they even gave me a print out of where they were cheaper and what brand to buy. Try costco
