I'm new too and I think I might even be on the wrong forum, as I have noticed everyone on here has had the sleeve or getting ready to have the sleeve.
I had the bypass last May I've lost a total of 80 pounds since the beginning of my journey. I like lipstick lady already, she sounds like my daughter life without her would be boring as hell.

You'll do great just remember to stay as active as you can. I had my surgery in May and I'm getting stronger get and better and skinnier everyday. And I'm 62 I wieghed 377 pounds when i started my journey i wiegh 300 pounds last visit. I had several health issues when I began this journey, in fact pre l.p. I was still in a wheelchair but now I'm walking on my own, still going to physical therapy and getting stronger everyday. I have COPD and even that is getting better, when I first began I was on oxygen 24/7 now I'm only on it in the evening and as needed. I have psoriatic arthritis and that is still outta control, but thier changing my medication and that is supposed to help. Having the surgery was the best decision I ever made, wish I did it sooner.

Has anyone ever considered adding unflavored Protein Powder to Protein Drinks, Soups etc? During my first attempt at the preop liquid diet I had a hard time getting in enough Protein because of liquid volume. I was thinking about doubling up so i could get more protein per cup of liquid.

On point! LOL!!!!!

Have you ever watched Survivor? I could be on that damn island for a year without food and probably still be considered an overweight BMI! ????. You can live without food - but not Water.

I had 112 pounds worth of back up. Believe me, I could have survived longer than most small towns in Georgia with all the extra weight I was carrying.

I had the bypass in May was having same issue , the Ground hamburger in little portions I tolerated fine but everything else I had same reaction. I keep a food journal and noticed it's mostly chicken causing me to vomit. I introduce it slowly back in, shredded pork went well because it's cooked really well.

Andre,
What is your calorie intake a day? I'm keeping a food journal keeping track of my daily protien counts as well as my daily calorie count, they should have given you guidelines to go by. Check with your doctors mens may differ slightly than women's. I try to keep my calorie intake at 800 a day i may go over slightly some days, and my protien daily count at 60 I believe I adjust that further down the road, I had my surgery in May and I'm still losing slow and steady about 3 pounds a week plus or minus. I was 377 pounds when I started my Quest I weighed in at 304 pounds this morning. I've increased my exercise a little bit everyday too.
