I'm not sure, this is my first time hunting them down I will keep you posted. Have you asked your nutritionist?

How are you gals. Blessed I'm sure!!!! How has surgery or the road to getting surgery been??? I pray all is well. I'm here if anyone needs to talk.

Hello!! How has things been going?

Cool. Thanks again, my surgeon told me no shakes or bars. I never get to 80 grams 65 at best .. I just want to add bars in to help.

Thank you.

Do they have the bitter taste?

I really don't understand everyone who says consider if the relationship is working for you - um hello - they are MARRIED. for better or worse, in sickness and health? yes. this is WORSE, and yes this is sickness but a promise is a promise.

to the OP, I am so sorry you are dealing with this. my husband has Asperger's Syndrome. I spent years while he sorted things out to learn how to find a place to be productive in society. it took us a LONG time to learn how to be married without stepping all over each other. it was worth all the junk we went through and all the trouble it took. I had to learn how to support him - and how to help him - without ENABLING unhelpful behaviors, but at the end of the day that was all I could be responsible for. I am really glad I stuck with it - it was hard some times.

So, I would encourage you to get support and help. Your life changes have changed the balances in your relationship and you will need help to sort out how you can help and support him without enabling him. I hope you two can find a way to be intimate until he is healthy enough to resume normal activities.

I agree. That's like saying he should leave her because she had the surgery. She was one way when they met and decided on a change what if he preferred her the way she was? Then people would have all kind of stuff to say about that. Maybe my interpretation of marriage is different. I sure wouldn't want anyone telling my husband to leave me for having surgery. Why tell someone to leave because they won't have it? For better or for worse when I gained my husband didn't leave me.. I thank God for that. I don't think he should continue on the road he's on, but that's what for better or worse means.. Help him the best way you can. Don't give up a marriage because he's not making the decision you want him to make.

I just purchased two by Quest(cookies & cream and chocolate chip cookie dough)

Haven't taste the cookie and cream yet but the other one is ok. I love their Protein powder as well and that the fact they sale in singles so you can try out before you purchase a big container. But the cal count is 190 and have 21g of protein

I'm sure they have them at your local GNC

Thank you!! I will try. I'm trying to try a few to see what I will like.. These are 200 calories ..

I switched from Quest Bars to Combat Crunch after Quest switched over to soluble corn fiber. They just did NOT agree with me anymore after that. So Combat Crunch is my go-to now. My favorite is the Cinnamon Twist flavor, but I also like the chocolate Peanut Butter Cup.

where can I find these?

I just tried the most disgusting Protein Bars. Ugh South beach diet vanilla Carmel. Anyone have any suggestions? Please.. I'm not getting enough Protein.< /p>

I'm in

When you had come to the decision to change your life was he supportive? You feel he needs the help what if the roles were reversed? When people did to me what you are doing to your husband I was hurt and embarrassed .. I'm not saying it's okay but we all were able to come to this decision on our own. I would support him and keep trying to guide him. It could be very frustrating because naturally you want what's best. But ultimately he has to want to make this decision. It's his life that's going to change .. What if he does it because you want him to then doesn't make the effort and changes it takes to have long term success .. I would say let him dig til he's tired .. Then be there too help him climb out.

Yea that's usually how it goes everyone's insurance is different though. I didn't have to lose a lot but when you gain it's showing them you can't stick to the lifestyle change WLS requires

Oh okay. Yea my Nutrition class I had told me what type of Vitamins to get.. No Gummy or women's.. Not enough nutritional value and to much sugar. Centrum 50+ is what I use. I used to use the chewable ones but ugh those were nasty. I take Calcium B12 and B1. I didn't start til after surgery. My pre op diet was a little hard but I managed because if they saw a gain.. You wouldn't qualify for the surgery.

I was told not to take any women's Vitamins try Centrum .. They have been working for me for the past seven months ..

Do you have a goal weight? When is your surgery date?

How is the food tracking and diet working out for you? It gets easier. What are your stats?

Oh okay congrats though. We tend to go s little over board .. I bought so many Soups and things I ended up not using. But it helps to be prepared.

Hello. I'm excited for you!! Do you have a surgery date?

In the beginning I just used before and after pictures

How'd the talk go?

Congrats !!! Time for some new pants!!!

@@Bluesky1 I was 170 at about 3 months out. So I would say about 6 months I'm only 7 months post op it didn't take long at all

That is REALLY fast! Maybe it's your youth that helps! I hope to have such good results. You really do look lovely!

Thank you. Yes it does go by fast. I'm stalled now but once it picks up its rapid .. You will have the same or even better!!!

@@Bluesky1 I was 170 at about 3 months out. So I would say about 6 months I'm only 7 months post op it didn't take long at all

@@Bluesky1 Thank you so much. My weight in the before picture was 242. In the after(yesterday lol) 149. I'm 5.4 in a half ..

before after

I'm at 7 months and I have stalled to.. It's only been about a week though .. But I've never been at the same weight since this journey started. I believe my Protein is the reason not entirely sure my carbs are under 60 I do have sweets but my sugar stays under 20g .. I have been exercising more so maybe upping my calories might help I'm not sure

I'm at a stall and I'm only 1 month out what can I do to loose more weight?

What are you doing as of now? How long have you been at the same weight. At one month your body is probably stabilizing. Have you healed enough to exercise?
