Protein powders or shakes
So I know the shakes are easy to grab and go but most have milk and I am milk intolerant. I handle premier protein just fine. But do people also buy protein powders on top of the premixed drinks? They are all so pricey and I want multiple flavors. My surgeon provided tons of smoothy recipes for them but need different flavors of protein mix. But did not know if premix would work good to

Anyone NOT lose their hair?
I have not had my procedure yet and I go through periods of hair loss because of my crohns and malnutrition from that. I found that monta hair products are awesome and my hair has grown back thicker and wonderful. FYI I do not sell the stuff lmao.

Unsupportive mother
She did it again this week. She dose not understand why if I have lost 40 pounds and I have always been under the BMI why I need it. I simply said Mom it goes up and down and my blood pressure is really high (it was when I lost 100 pounds and at 180). I need something to help my hunger pains it bothers me to always feel hungery. I know I will get more when she gets here before surgery she says it’s just because I am her baby. But she still dose not understand

To fight the weight battle and be successful u have to get ride of everything toxic in your life. The toxicity will cause old habits to come back. Once u fight the battle and feel u are completely in control introductuce it back in ur life. If you ever watch my 600 pound life there families are so toxic and most fall apart after surgery because the person that gets he surgery is ready to heal. The ones hat don’t fall apart go back to the way they were. Food is a strong addiction and the problem is u can not quite it cause u need it to survive. So battle your life do what is best for u. It’s time to say what is best for me and not worry about no one else. Because in the long run our weight might eventually kill us. Lots of therapy here before I got to this point and this is when I New I was ready for surgery. I am controlling my life and I do t care what people say I will be here for my grand babies
