I’m doing the protein waters now I love Protein20. I get a 6 pk at Walmart and the come in berry blast or pineapple coconut!

My surgery was last year August 22nd I hit my one year goal at 7 months and I swear by the Mutant ISO Surge ? whey protein!

You look amazing 46w4kds it’s great too see how amazing you look! Once I can figure out how to post before and after a mine will be up... ?

I can’t seem to be able to post my before and after pics! What am I doing wrong?

I’m 7 months post op and I’ve lost 78 lbs!!! I had saggy skin before but notice with the sweat band I wear I’m losing inches in those saggy areas... but even if you don’t... who cares! Believe me someone out that won’t care about saggy skin if they’re really in feelings with you!

I plateaued for almost 3 months I dropped calories increased protein and water intake and I’m now 8 pounds above my one year goal weight of 180 in only 6 months change up your routine a bit.

I was told by my doctor that as long as I am getting my protein intake I can drop to 700-800 because I am constantly full and burping up food overeating.

Thank you for all the advice... I am in love with the fact that I can get my protein from sushi.... yay! and Edamame!! I get the bags now and eat them as a snack mid day. I tried shashimi and poke for the first time and that was awesome. I appreciate the suggestions. Thanks everyone!

14 weeks CW 208

I’m 14 weeks post op. I’m down 60 lbs but and get 700-900 calories in but now I feel like I’m always sick or never hungry.

Ok everyone I’m eating sushi for dinner and I’m not sure what I can and can’t have. I’m craving seaweed salad but know it’s very stringy and I really need would love a bit of rice

Cottage cheese and yogurt.

I've gone to a couple of events where I drank. The first one I have to say I really got buzzed quickly and was hung over terribly the next day. The last time, wasn't as bad, I didn't get buzzed or sick.

I track all my food in take with My Fitness Pal and it keeps me on top of my calories. Track all of it even the cheats... Should there be any... and if you like you may request me as a friend OCladyT.

Thank you! I’ve stalled for the past two weeks.

H and I found these clusters of cranberries, quinoa and almond I bite curves my hunger...

I do Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, sandwich meat wrapped in cheese, I make these egg soufflés one egg spinach and cheese, hummus snack boxes, cashews, edamame and my protein

I did that too!!!! What am I doing? Is this the right decision? Why am I really doing this? I didn’t stock up or go crazy shopping I got the basics Jello, broth, crystal light and water. Wanting to eat everything in sight is all psychological and it will happen after surgery too! The week I started solids there was a potluck at work and I knew exactly what I could and couldn’t eat but still managed to fill my plate... by habit but my brain and tummy knew not all of it was going in... take a deep breath and remember all the great things that are gonna come out of it... oh and ice cream yes eventually... mine was seafood and I’ve been able to enjoy it twice. I’ve only been on solids a week. Just pace yourself... life is still great after surgery! Oh and inbox me if you need any support. I’m not an expert but I do have experience... good luck!!![emoji256]

Thank you all for all of your advice... I appreciate it. As for all the nausea it’s been rough and my nausea pills have come in handy! But I’m definitely going to try smaller bites. I’ve increased my bite gap by 15 minutes instead of every ten minutes. And I’m still blending fruit with my protein shakes which helps a lot more than before.

Hi All! I'm new and haven't seen too much of a communication... maybe a m not posting right... Anyways, I'm 3 days into solid and I feel terrible. I just can't help but feel like I'm doing it all wrong and should just go back to liquid! I was sleeved on 8/22/2017 and have lost a total of 45 pounds in 6 weeks... it's been hard along the way... not taking down protein, extra stay in the hospital and worse 3 weeks of constipation but this solid food is just making me feel the worse.... I constantly feel the need to vomit ? Any advice or guidance would be appreciated!

Welcome to the adventure... sending prayers [emoji1374]

Do you have clothes to fit appropriate? I ask because I'm down 40 lbs and I hate how baggy my clothes are

Or even after just two spoonfuls I am so full I start burping up food... Hester it was so bad I was in bed all day. Does anyone else feel that way

I feel the same way!!! I was sleeved 8/22. Soft food but I barely get any food and it's kept me dehydrated at times.

Trouble with the craving of potatoes and salt... I've been great on the food but this weekend I want potato and ketchup so bad. What do you guys do to get through it. I'm at the point where maybe I'm bite won't hurt
