    Vegan or not Vegan? That is the question.

    SouthernGirl76 I am researching too 😂 I still don’t know if I will have the courage to try it

    I have no idea. I don’t know if you will find it in a farmer’s market or whole foods 🤔

    I appreciate for all your help. You are all amazing people. I will continue my research and will work with a dietician to help with the transition. And regarding the insects, I am a huge coward lmao can’t do it, cannot lol

    Thank you. I have tried a pasta made out of black beans and is good. Do they mean vegan version of pasta?? I have always been a bread person. I have to stay away from it. Thanks for the hint.

    Thank you very much. I appreciate you sharing it with me. I do have a crockpot. My previous surgeon didn’t allowed me beans at all. I will definitely try it. Thank you so much
  6. So, I've been away from this site for a long time. I have being struggling with depression and anxiety. I'm on meds now but I'm also struggling with the fact that I gain weight. I have tried to follow the previous diet my surgeon's office gave me but is no longer working. Their diet consists in yogurt, cheese, cottage cheese, eggs and meat. I have seen other people eating nuts and berries and they have been more successful in their journey. I have talked with my PCM about it (because I'm in the process of switching surgeons to continue my follow-ups with another person) and it suggested vegan style for me. Does anyone in here is vegan or have had done vegan life style before? Is anyone following another type of diet that has been successful? If anyone can help me with some suggestions, I will appreciate it.
  7. I have the same problem. I spend 2-3 hrs in the gym 3-5 days a week or if I can't go to the gym I workout at the house pretty much the same amount of time. I've being in a stall for almost two months now and they sent me to eat every two hrs and I simply can't put all that food in my stomach. They told me I've being burning the double of calories I'm consuming. And is so frustrating bc I don't want any batwings or anything hanging in my body. I will take your advice and do less days and try to eat more. Let's see if I brake this stall.

    1 1/2 month stall

    Hey there!! I was sleeved on december 2016 and I lost 70lbs so far. I've being walking 3-4 miles or spending 2-3 hrs at the gym but I've being stock in 195 for the past month and a half. Has anyone had the same situation?? They sent me to eat every two hrs but I can barely eat my snacks. Is hard. Any suggestions??
  9. I was sleeved 12/06/16 SW 265 CW 195 GW 150 45 more to go with a loooooot of stalls in between. They are driving me nuts [emoji30]

    SOS!!

    I am 6 months out, 199 (finally onederland), still have 50lbs more to go and I've been cheating the last month or two. When I said cheating I meant I can't fit no snacks during the day and when I have my cycle, I eat chocolate. I had a lot of stress, I was sexual frustrated bc my husband and I barely have sex (once every 2-3 months), other situations that I had..... And the last thing now is I'm probably pregnant [emoji20] don't get me wrong I want more kids but we were gonna do it in two years. So now I'm worried about what can happen if in fact I'm pregnant and the surgery. I just got back in track trying to fit snacks in between like they told me to but is sooooo hard!!!

    I'm unsupportive, but I want to be....

    And hey, I was terrified before the surgery. So I understand you can be too. Let him know how you feel so he can also understand where you coming from. IT IS OK TO BE TERRIFIED!! I'm scared about big changes too.... [emoji6]

    Think about it like this. This type of surgery will change his life. It will help him get healthier and he will live longer if he stick with it. I understand your point cause you might be scared. In my case, my husband ask me for it (he wants me to live longer than him and be healthy.) He is in a better shape than me but he have high blood pressure. I thought about it for months and I still did it even when I wasn't completely sure about it. I did for him (I'm not saying is the way to do it.) I will ask you something. Do you like big guys?? I think you are scare of changes and this is a big change. Ask yourself: do I want my fiancee to have diabetes, high blood pressure, erectile disfunction, heart attacks, or worst?? Or do I want him to marry me and live a long life raising our children in the future?? Do I want him to struggle with clothes, walking, get togethers or do I want him to get in the stores and buy the clothes he likes?? Is hard to be supportive when it becomes to surgeries but sometimes we have to make sacrifices even when we don't want to. At the end of the day whatever happens to him it will affect you positively or negatively.

    Awesome [emoji19]

    Insanity is the Shaun T's workout video (really insane) but I think is a good workout but no changes on the scale at all

    Awesome [emoji19]

    So I'm exactly 4 months post-op and I dropped 50 lbs. I went from 265 to 215. [emoji1] I've being going up and down (2-3 up, 2-3 down). It's frustrating!! [emoji30] So I finally decided to start Insanity (after 5 years of tried twice, never made it after the second week) and I am feeling better but...... I'm now on my third week of Insanity and I haven't drop any pound. [emoji35] Is there anyone having similar issues?? [emoji848]
