If you can find it in stores it is awesome. It sells out though, the day it delivers. I have made riced cauliflower in the food processor, but it is such a pain to clean the processor, this is the better solution.

I'm doing well. It is harder to fight head hunger now, since I can tolerate more things. I still don't have physical hunger so that is nice. I'm down 88 lbs as of today. Working out, walking, and doing yoga.

I wouldn't consider a man at 220lbs and 6ft tall obese if he had decent muscle mass. I went to a D1 college, a guy that size isn't that uncommon.

@@proudgrammy Congrats on all your hard work. You are a reminder to all of us that we can make changes at any age if we decide to.

Yeah, I kind of feel like I have won the lottery also. I just feel so much better overall. All of it isn't related to weight loss. I made a lot of changes before I lost weight. I'm so happy and content in my life that I already feel like a billionaire, actually probably better than a billionaire because I have very little stress in my life.

Some people have other things in life that are more important than food and calories. Especially to the point of having them memorized. I haven't been a fan of carbs for about 15 years. I find that my body and my mind run better on very few carbs. I get my carbs in from veggies and the occasional sugar alternative and that is about it. I have never liked crackers, cold Cereal, Pasta or rice. I did love French fries and that is something I just have to remove from my diet and mind entirely, including sweet potatoes. I used to do atkins. I found keto a few years ago and I like running on healthy fats and grass fed/organic meat.

If eating the wrong foods and not portion control are really your issue, bypass might be a better option. Once most people heal from the sleeve you can eat almost anything.

I had my surgery at DesPeres. The hospital staff is really supportive. Some of the nurses have had surgery so they understand. I was in the hospital about 26 hours. No complications, great recovery. I recommend MyNewSelf, if you want a fast smooth process.

@@trekker954 Yeah with a face like hers, I wouldn't let those old dudes hack on me. All they did was remove her skin. They did nothing to shape her body. Now she is built like an ipod. Congrats I guess. Her face is a 10, it seems like someone like her would really want to spend the money on someone that is going to sculpt your body and give you a feminine shape.

I made it through about 20 minutes. This show is terrible on so many levels. The diet personalities are all terrible and none of them are really TV ready.

Unflavored protein in broth and other drinks. Baked fish like swai.

you probably won't be able to get in more than 500 calories until 6 weeks. If you want to get your calories up you are going to have to just sip on protein drinks all day. your stomach is healing and lacks capacity.

@@becca1281 With a lower starting BMI, you are going to lose less, than people that are larger, 57 lbs in 6 months seems good. Talk to your NUT about your calories. Are you meeting your protein goals each day?

I binge watched Fat Doctor repeatedly before surgery. I feel like it is a better quality show that tells better stories. And it is better prep for surgery than 600lb life. I don't like 600lb life and I never identified with the people on the show. All of them have people that take care of them and help them get that huge. As a single person that has lived alone for 20 plus years, it is just a foreign concept to me. Also their lifestyles and socio-economic levels are just too different for me to relate to. Nikki's adult sisters have skipped off to enjoy their lives and left their parents stuck with 2 adult children they have to take care of. The skin tight show, I will be watching. Watching that show filled me with so much dread and despair, I can't even express it properly. I can already see the skin issues and I can see that some skin, in a lot of places is not going to snap back and I am going to need surgery. I should be able to afford surgery, but still the idea of needing it so desperately is not something I look forward to.

Well this was the most depressing thing I have watched in a long. I was left with a deepening feeling of complete dread by the end of the show.

I suggest walking. Start with 20-30 minutes at a time and build it up to an hour a day.

There are lots of days I don't feel like walking. My dog however doesn't care how I feel, so I walk. I adopted a dog partially for this purpose and it is working out perfectly. I think building being active into your live works a lot better than "working out".

@@ExplosiveAmnesia Your surgeon sounds like an idiot. I mean maybe at 1 year would could be at goal but most Doctors don't even estimate you to get into a healthy BMI if you are super morbidly obese. They hope you lose about 60% of your excess weight.

@@bel6692 A lot of people that are band to sleeve lose slowly. Do you track your food with an app? What do you eat in a typical day? How many carbs, Protein, fat?

I used to work out at the Y and all the ladies did there was talk about food, share recipes, and plan to go out to eat after working out! It drove me nuts. Since surgery though, food doesn't phase me. People talking about it, watching cooking shows, being out at resturants and bars doesn't really phase me at all. I know what I can and can't eat and I have blinders to everything else. I will say that I feel more food obsessed now than I was before. I have to constantly track my macros to get them right and swap in and out different foods to meet goals depending on the day. Before I just kind of did whatever. Weighing and measuring everything too makes me feel more food obsessed. I just traded one master for a different one. I mean people HAVE to eat to live, and most people enjoy it. Food is an enjoyable part of life. I don't think that it is sick that food and advertised so much. I just think the types of food that is advertised is the problem.

Before it was cold I made iced coffee, with Trader Joe's Cold brew, ice and unflavored protein powder. It was the perfect breakfast, or mid afternoon snack.

Blossom Bariatrics does outpatient Sleeves. They have some good videos on youtube that might be helpful to you. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NUBEXcmtR5g

50-60 grams of Protein might cause you to lose muscle mass, that will slow your weight loss. If you are eating 50-60 grams of protein? How many carbs? more than 25 grams? Protein without the carb information is not enough.

This is a good video that explains why revisions might be necessary. Posting what you eat in a day, if you track, the macros might help. How much Protein, carbs, fat? If you go on liquids protein and meat for 2 weeks, do you lose weight? I would never lose weight if I followed what my Dr office has on the list of foods I can eat. There are too many carb items included. I eat low carb/high fat. It is hard to get the fat in because my protein intake is so high, but I lean towards fats over carbs. I'm not suggesting you eat how I eat, but most plans include a lot of carb items, that you can easily avoid, especially if you want faster weight loss. So tell us how you are eating and maybe people can make suggestions.
