    Having a great day!!
    I'm down 30lbs, weighing in at 200, and see ONEderland in sight!!
    I haven't worn jeans in a while b/c none of my jeans fit. Today I wore a pair of size 14 jeans!! Huge muffin top, but was able to conceal it by wearing a top that flows!! Feeling great, and can't wait to see what next month with bring!

    I graduated to soft foods today, and celebrated with a thin slice of ahi tuna (1 ounce). I managed to eat 3/4 of it, and was full! It tasted so good though, and I'm loving the satiated feeling I've had every since eating it!!
    Tomorrow - egg whites!!! Woo Hoo!!!

    I have used a ton of vegan Protein Drinks, and they are mostly all fine. I make the shakes in a shaker bottle, with ice. My goal is to drink, and I try not to focus on it too much. The Protein Shakes include the following (all purchased from Amazon.com):
    Evolve Protein shakes (vanilla and mellow mocha) Vegansmart Plant-based Vegan Protein Powder by Naturade (wild berries) TOPBiT All-in-One Plant Protein Powder, chocolate – Vegan Protein Powder, sugar free Protein, Stevia Free, Nut Free, Soy Free, 20g Protein Shake, Probiotics, BCAA, Greens, 1.8LB TOPBiT All-in-One Plant Protein Powder, vanilla – Vegan Protein Powder, Sugar Free Protein, Stevia Free, Nut Free, Soy Free, 20g Protein shake, Probiotics, BCAA, Greens, 1.8LB Naturade Plant Based Vegansmart Vegan Pea Protein – Chocolate – 20.6 oz Orgain Organic Plant Based Protein Powder, Creamy Chocolate Fudge - Vegan, Low Net Carbs, Non Dairy, Gluten Free, Lactose Free, No Sugar Added, Soy Free, Kosher, Non-GMO, 2.03 Pound I *did not like* this unflavored protein: Nature's Best Plant Based Vegan Protein Powder by Isopure - Organic Keto Friendly, Low Carb, Gluten Free, 20g Protein, 0g Sugar, Unflavored, 1.15 Pound (20 Servings). It’s a wee bit nasty.

    ChubRub, I would start with MiraLax at a minimum. Eleven days is quite a while to wait for a bm.

    Wasn’t there a study that came out recently indicating the vitamin patches are t super effective? The BariatricPal Store added a disclosure to their patch Vitamins, I believe.

    CheerfulLoser got a reaction from Krimsonbutterflies in Little vent: spousal comments   
    I’m five days post-op. Literally, five days. Stitches, pain meds, learning to eat, all the hot mess. And my darling husband says, “You know, I’m not really attracted to thin women. I hope you don’t lose very much weight.”
    WTH. I’ve been working toward this goal for 13 months, and he just mentions this now. Seems like all those times i asked if he had any questions, comments, or input that this should have come up. I asked him to come to the education classes and he said we could talk after, which we did. I am furious.

    Well, today's the day! It has been 13 months from the date of referral for this procedure, so I'm heartily ready to get it done.
    Fingers crossed for a nice, boring day. And lots of pain medicine.

    I make an iced coffee using Folgers or Starbucks instant coffee and vanilla or chocolate Protein Powder.
    There’s no reason you couldn’t warm it up. I like using the instant coffee so the volume doesn’t get crazy.

    Oooh, I need the squat challenge. I’m going to start with the hard one and call an audible after I see how I do.
    sleeve post op a year in maintenance.
    Personal goal: Keep moving and exercising and build up muscle.
    weight: 128-131 depending on day BMI 23? (Close enough)
    Favorite flaw. I believe I’m taller than I actually am to the point of shock when I see myself in a group picture. I consider it a flaw vs. a delusion because otherwise it sounds like I’m insane.
