My NUT says chobani is fine, she always says check how many grams of sugar, 5 or under is goal, but if more, then check the ingredient list. If it lists actual sugar or any of the artificial sugar words(usually end in -ose) don't do it, but if it's natural sugars like from milk, etc. I'm fine. I've been enjoying Chobani ever since my surgery, 6 mos out and 82lbs down, I especially love the Chobani flips!! The pumpkin one is to die for!!

Never heard of a patch, but maybe, I know the liquid was helpful.

Are they pills??? After my original surgery my Hydrocodone was a liquid, better absorbed. Can they maybe do a liquid?

I'm in a dreaded stall as well, all of August been around the same 2-3 lbs range up and down. I think I need to go back to basics and jolt my system back into losing. Was very excited when I could add new foods to my diet, but then it seems the losing stopped. Need to focus!!! Have about 40lbs to go to goal!!! SW: 250 CW: 177 Surgery date: 4/20

SW 250 CW 180 Surgery date 4/20 70 down about 40 to go!!!

Here's before and after pics. 2 weeks before surgery and today!

Hit 70lbs down!!! SW 250 CW 180 Surgery was April 20

Drives me crazy when people think it's "the easy way out". It is one of the hardest things I've ever had to do in my life, changing everything about the way you eat, what you eat, what you do everyday is hard!! Hopefully he comes around!!

I also had a hard time with liquids, like cold water, try room temperature or even a little lukewarm. It worked for me. I'm now about 3 months out and can do cold water.

SW 250 on 4/20 CW 185

Well I chew the nuts till they're basically cashew butter!! Lol!

Definitely getting at least 64oz water daily. At least 60g protein too. I got sick of protein shakes, So I add a scoop of genepro to my morning yogurt, I buy the Chobani Flips, they're soo good!! Lunch is usually some type protein, sometimes as simple as cottage cheese with fruit, or chili. I sometimes buy a grilled chicken wrap from Wendy's and just scrape out the insides and eat it without the tortilla. I also use Pure Protein, protein bars. Higher protein and low sugar. I usually eat 3-4 times daily, sometimes a snack of cashews.

Hit Onederland last week!! Now down to 194!!!! SW: 250 on 4/20

Surgery 4/20 down 49lbs!! SW: 250 Now: 201 2 more pounds to Onederland!!

My NUT says nothing to drink 10 min prior or 20 min after.

Surgery date was 4/20, down 30lbs so far ????

I had no pre-op diet at all, just nothing to eat after 7pm the night before. My NUT said if my BMI was over 45, then yes I would need to do a two week pre-op diet, but mine was 43, so I didn't.

I was in hospital 2 nights, first night didn't sleep much, but took a nap the next day and then second night went pretty good. Once I got home I slept really well, was in my own bed. I was taking it easy the first couple days so I did nap a few times, mostly from the pain meds, but once I went off that, not really tired during the day.

Thanks!! I was wanting to try the Fage Greek yogurt with honey, and just wasn't sure. I'll try a small bit and see how it goes.

So is honey a good substitute for sugar when sweetening something? I had RNY, I know too much sugar can cause dumping, is the same true for honey? I meant to ask my NUT at last appointment but forgot.

My Nut has me eating every 3-4 hours, right now two protein shakes, 4-6 oz. and then two meals of soft protein, I usually have Greek yogurt, turkey chili, tuna or canned chicken with miracle whip, re fried beans with cheese are a few things I do. Going to NUT appointment tomorrow I'm hoping to be moved to next phase which includes some grains and fruit/veggies. My surgery date was 4/20. So far down 27lbs. Post op!! ????

Oh gosh!! I hope it doesn't last that long!! ???? My husband will be very sad if that's the case!! ????

I'm having horrible constipation, since about 14 days out, it's killing me. Bought a gentle laxative, it helps, but my bottom is so sore. ????

Love these!!

So before surgery (4/20), I was and am on birth control, I get the Depo shot every three months. My periods had stopped while on it. Since surgery, I got my period, now going on day 12!!! Even when I used to get it, it lasted 4 or 5 days max! Any insight?? Anyone else have issue?
