It depends on my day or mood. Also depends on if I’m at work. Work days I eat at 6:45am. I eat Protein first. That could be a yogurt or egg or oatmeal or even chicken. lunch I can eat a salad or chicken and a vegetable and same for lunch. I eat my last meal around 7 or 8pm. I eat three meals and two Snacks. I have coffee early in the morning. Small portions are s key. I do cheat sometimes. I don’t deprive myself of anything. I have my lemon drop Cookies. I even have my chicken strips from Popeyes. My cat [emoji250] helps me eat those. Lol

I’ll be a year out on Saturday. I’ve lost 82 lbs so far. I’m proud of myself. I had the Sleeve done.
Feel free to ask any questions

I don't vomit thank goodness but I do get sharp pains if I eat too much

When you have to sit on a pillow because your booty hurts

I buy at the store where they carry the kind of clothes I like to wear. I don't care if I wear an S, M or L so I can't relate to taht. I think it's super annoying that sizes vary from brand to brand, e. g. Odlo seems to run rather large, Endura medium and Gore extra small.
I recently got a Gore running shirt for winter, thick and with a hoodie and it's an XL - it fits perfectly not only in width but also when it comes to the length of the sleeves and I'm only 167 cm!
Now compare that to the Endura bike jacket I got in S this autumn.

Before surgery I was drinking Unjury or Ensure Protein. After surgery my taste changed. I couldn’t drink either one. After a couple of months I found Lean 25 at GNC. I love them. I got my sister hooked on them too

Update: 12/5/17- Today I am 8 days away from surgery. I have been on my 2 week pre op diet for 6 days. When I weighed myself this morning I was 243.4 which means roughly 18.6 pounds down from my consultation weight with my surgeon. I am so nervous and I have been emotional the past few days. I keep questioning if the benefits outweigh the risks. I’ve only ever had one surgery & it was earlier in the year. The only problem I am having as of right now is my tolerance for the Vitamin regimen. I am getting so nauseated with the thiamin. Anyways, my last visit with my surgeon prior to surgery should be soon! I hope everyone else is doing well!

When you start seeing and feeling bones you forgot you had!

Does anyone else like to find and feel your unearthed bones? Last night I was laying down and rested my hand on my belly and noticed my ribs were right there! Counted them on each side! I am also totally fascinated with my collarbone

I am almost a year out and I am down from 230 to 142!!!! After about the 7 month I was able to eat a little more but get full fast! I am sooo glad I did it. I feel so healthy and thin! I struggle making good choices at times and my old habits come back sometimes but I just think back and look at fat pictures and I set myself straight. I never want to be that way again. I look at a friend who had surgery two years and she gained a lot of weight. I so don't want that.

I had surgery Jan this year. Almost a year out. Yes you will loose your hair but it's temporary. I have long thick, curly hair and I am horrified BUT you MUST Buy Keranique !! Monthly subscription l! Not kidding after the first month my hair was so full! Couldn't tell I had Hair loss and as the months go on my hair will start to grow back and it is two months and I see the difference. I went to a dermatologist and he said don't worry it will grow back.

I also take Sugarbear gummy vitamins. So tasty and proven results. It's for hair.

Thank you so much for your reply! It’s comforting to know that! Do you increase your intake in protein with shakes or just eating things with protein? I did start trying to increase my protein with an extra shake. I felt like I was getting about 64g of protein a day, which is what my Dr suggested.

Congrats!! What was your longest stall? I'm almost at 5 months post op and I've been in a stall for like a month...

Congratulations on a year and a wonderful weight loss. Dec 18 will be mine. Could you recommend a Protein Shake. There are so many to choose from.

Tall*** not at all

How did you overcome constripation.

I am one year out as of November 28th, and Hair loss is a product of not enough protien. Add more protien into your diet and your hair, nails and eyes will become stronger than ever.
