It took me a couple weeks to get up to my Protein goals. Just keep trying. You'll get there. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

My husband has a KILLER fettuccine alfredo recipe. It's pure fat and oh so delicious. Let me know if you want it to help get you to that 40bmi! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

The only thing I use my blender for is my Protein shake. I take a Premier Protein, add a 1-2 inch piece of banana and a half cup or so of ice. Sticking a chicken breast in the blender just never appealed to me. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I'm so sorry. Don't beat yourself up. Easier said than done, I know. Get back on your bike and keep peddling. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

The good news is I was able to go to Walmart today and buy cheap bras today. They never had my size before (38GG ). Now I'm a 36D. I refuse to spend real money on bras until I know I'll be in that size for a good while. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I was also a Diet Coke addict for decades. If I could have the stuff fed to me intravenously, I would have been in heaven. Now I'm not even remotely interested or tempted. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

My husband makes the most amazing homemade chicken Soup. He made some when I was in Clear liquids and it tasted so gross. It was like pure liquid chicken fat. He made it a few weeks later (at my request) and it still tasted awful. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

No, not the kind you eat. RIP boobs. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I had my sleeve 2 days before you and I'm down 16 pounds (25 pounds if you include my preop diet pounds lost). I've lost count how many days it's been since I've lost a pound. I started at 220, 211 on surgery day, 195 today. I chalk it up to starting at a lower BMI and I tell myself the slower loss will be better in the long run for my extra skin. Hang in there.

I vote for ankle weights, a heavy lunch right before your appointment and bend your knees ever so slightly to make yourself a bit shorter. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Long charging cord, my own nightgown and robe. I was SO happy I brought my own. If I had oozed on them (I didn't), so what - it's just a nightgown lol. I was happy I was comfortable in my own nightgown and not one of those uncomfortable, scratchy hospital gowns. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
