  1. Usually after 3 days. I️ was allowed to have caffeine pre-op so I put it in my shake.
  2. Good luck to both of you! I’ll be a year out 12/21 and it was the best thing I️ ever did!
  3. My nutritionist allowed me to add a 1/3 of a banana to my protein shake in the morning. I️ was allowed to have egg drop soup - I️ had that for lunch and dinner and then another protein shake during the day.
  4. Good luck! Absolutely no regrets here [emoji322]
  5. Cauliflower soup- I found the recipe after my surgery and my daughter still asks for it. Boil cauliflower till soft, put in blender along with a ladle or two of the water you boiled it with. Add butter, salt & pepper. That's it!!!

  8. Congrats on reaching your goal! You look great!
  9. Okay, so I have a friend that had this surgery approx 3 yrs ago. In my mind I thought, why can't she just stick to a diet? If she worked out regularly and ate healthy then she'd lose weight. Fast forward 3 yrs....this is the best thing I ever did! I have done WW, slimfast, starvation diets, prescription meds, cleanses, Atkins, gluten free, paleo and I was able to lose and gain a zillion times. I was also diabetic and had high cholesterol. (off all Meds now) I had the surgery in Dec and I realize it's a tool to help me. I can still eat everything - I eat bread, pasta, pizza - everything! I just have a signal in me to stop now. I'm down 60 lbs since December, I work out 4-6 days a week. I do get a bit disappointed now and again when I sit down to eat something I've been looking forward to and have to stop after 3-4 bites b/c I'm full (but that's a good thing!) I still go out to eat and I usually bring a little cooler in my car b/c I know I'll have leftovers. Another good thing is that my husband and daughter are now eating healthier. Good luck with your decision!!!
  10. Awesome! You look great!!
  11. Good luck to all of you!! Life is great on the other side!
