Slow loser and stuck
I had the same issue. I was stuck at 218 for 2 months. My doctor drilled me about eating more and I upped my protein . Today I hit 198 ( less than a month later) . I try to drink at least 50 G protein in a shake / smoothie a day, so that I can eat the rest of my requirements successfully.

Stupid things people say when they find out you've had surgery....
OMG!!! Well that's new... I'm sorry he was such an ass. It actually sounds like he knows a lil more than the typical person on the outside-as in he's had it done too or at the very least he's looked into it.

Sounds like she realized how insensitive she was being and was embarrassed herself. Serves her right. Good job speaking up for yourself!

Where are getting or got your surgery
Have u tried unflavored protein powders? They were a lifesaver for me! I burnt out on the premiers and Isopure, do now I just add 2 scoops to a smoothie or 1 scoop to food- works wonders. My doc said the protein helps build muscle ( which helps burn more fat) as u lose the fat . That's all I needed to hear to up my intake! I don't want that jiggly look after the weight is gone.

Any August Sleevers?
So you've lost 183 since August ? I'm confused because how could your BMI be 32 at 300+lbs? Help me out! Lol I'm only at -37lbs. I need to know what in the world you're doing.

My daily struggle
I'm almost 3mos post op. I do well with most of my requirements, but the whole no drinking 30 mins before and 30 mins after is my struggle. I mean as soon as I sit down to eat-instant dehydration! Lol I swear I'm dying of thirst at that specific moment in time!! I know I'm still trying to reprogram myself to this new habit , but damnit! Lol whew! I had to get that out!

Official August thread! Where are you guys?
Sleeved 8/24. SW 249, CW 215. Not as much as I expected but definitely excited about the drop. Goal is 130, though I can't even imagine that. My personal goal is 150. I'm hoping to still have curves by then!

Gummies
I take the prenatal gummies and a b-12 sublingual . Last lab was great. Vit D was still low, but not lower than before I started, so now I have a small D3 gel.

Carbonated Drinks
I tried a few sips about a month or so out and it felt like my stomach would explode! Way too much gas for me. When the notion hits now, I just get a small Coke slurpee from 7/11. A few sips satisfies me for a few weeks or so.
