  1. Personally I'll be aiming for 200lbs or less which is pretty good for 6ft1 big built man.
  2. BMI IS VAGUE it doesn't take into account a person's frame or build even the doctor said Today surgery is only going take care of maybe 80% of excess weight and after that you may still be in overweight by BMI
  3. I'm just curious for those who had preop diets that was just shakes and liquids? Were you able to lose weight easily or did you need to include some physical activity as well If I chose 3 shakes a day I'll be looking around 500kcal a day and 80-90g protein, that is if I can manage to be satisfied just with protein shakes.. If you want to share how many weeks diet preop and how many shakes a day? I've got plenty of powder to mix up so that's not an issue!! Getting closer to surgery so curious tnx
  4. Soon as the Dr saw how bad my sugar levels were he said bypass is the best option for diabetes sufferers, some people have been known to leave hospital diabetes free!
  5. Cannot afford to pay double to try and find a natural or totally isolate only protein the differences are minimal I've looked I'll just have an extra shake to make up for the protein difference tnx
  6. You'll find most protein powders have some kind of sweeteners to make the flavor
  7. Premix drinks have added sugar v powder
  8. Yeah most proteins are like 1g or 2g sugar be careful
  9. Look into scitec protein powders https://www.muscleandstrength.com/store/scitec-nutrition-100-whey-protein-professional.html?CAWELAID=120139930000058203&CAGPSPN=pla&CAAGID=40399729671&CATCI=pla-159366982367&CATARGETID=120139930000087542&cadevice=m&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI9Lnsv-7H4wIVRGoqCh1uCgzMEAQYBCABEgJAEPD_BwE&___store=default&___shipping=US#reviews
  10. If you having issues with gas etc you may need to find a natural protein or isolate only
  11. You can use water to mix protein shakes to keep the calories and sugar down
  12. The differences between concentrate and isolate are negligible I've read many articles it's the lactose that is in concentrate that some people cannot stomach but side by side nutrient values are very similar especially when isolate can cost up to double
  13. There does seem to be a lot of pushing of his own products but that's his right and the people who choose to follow it. I personally shop around locally and online always looking for proper whey protein whenever it's on sale
  14. I believe everything you will learn to do with healthy eating portion control should be passed onto them there's no reason for children to be obese it is down to the parents to model the good behavior
  15. I doubt Jeff besos would even flinch if Amazon shut down with his $160billion of assets
  16. No classes here no diet monitoring just bloods and medical history check and weight check all done in 1 visit. next visit next week see surgeon then dietitian before surgery end of sep. As stated before doctor understands surgery is a last resort for most people who have already spent years dieting without success and I've done my own research online the last 12 months anyway..
  17. If my surgery goes ahead as planned end of September then 9 months will be roughly 6.5 months post op and at least 80lbs lost I hope
  18. I personally think she has a nice little butt
  19. Most places say 40+ no comorbidities needed
  20. That's impressive I hope I can match that once i have bypass
  21. My doctor doesn't ask for any dieting as he knows most people who ask for surgery have dieted before. Personally I've been dieting off and on for years so what's going to change because doctor asks and that's why my doctor doesnt ask for any just the preop diet of course
  22. Hope you figure it all out but I agree with above I'll be taking the year or two to myself to not only lose weight but to tone up, increase my self-esteem and confidence and to be completely ready to put myself out there.
  23. Only told a few close family.. Again only did this for me and I will do it my way take it day by day definitely don't need strangers and others telling me what to do or judging me daily. it is also a personal process for me and my mental health as well there will be so many changes internally and externally and I cannot wait!!
