Buying clothes that aren’t in the plus size section or not buying the biggest size the store has and hoping it fits lol. This is the first time I’ve ever been able to wear a boyfriends clothing item and not have it be too small. Just cute and baggy. I love it!

Have you tried scopolamine Patches? If not ask your doctor about it.
Also Isopure, Premier and few other brands make clear juice style Protein Drinks

Congratulations! Mines is 8/5 ... this Monday :O

Not long now, congratulations!

Specifically as to the surgeon I asked how many times she had performed the procedure and what her success rate was, I asked what to expect in terms of weight loss and how long, I asked about any complications and side effects. I am 54 and it's been a wonderful experience.

Thanks! Seems far away. I am glad gives a chances to have my Clear Liquids, Vitamins, Protein Powder & shakes and things for bag when have surgery.

I walked a mile in the morning and a mile at night as soon as I could walk. about 1 month I added Richard Simmons routines every week day. It was hard but so worth it,

Hi All,
So in due diligence, I've been researching Protein Shakes and drinks. I haven't had surgery yet, but I'm trying to start training myself to drink consistently throughout the day and to start steering away from not eating most days until 2 PM or later. While at Target this weekend, I noticed that they had the Protein 2o in mixed berry and picked some up. They're not half bad actually. They do seem to make my mouth dry when I first take a sip, but I think that's just a matter of getting used to it and I actually enjoy the overall flavor. Back when I had my lapband sx in 2007 pretty much all I had available to me were the milky, overly sweet type of protein shakes and I loathed them after being on liquids for so many weeks pre/post-surgery. So, I am quite encouraged by the juice type drinks.
Which leads me to my question. Given that the Protein Shake market has gotten so much more expansive in the past 12 years, I'm confused by what seems to be 2 different labeled shakes. Some say Protein "meal replacement" like the BariatricPal Protein One and others like GENEPRO and Syntrax just say Protein Powder. I've tried reading the labels and I don't see much difference in the two types. Although I will say that I thought it was rather shady of Syntrax to advertise that their protein individual pack will provide 23 grams of protein, only to read the label and see that a serving size is 1/4 of a packet, so you have to multiply everything by 4 to get to 1. the amount of protein they advertise and 2. the actual calories in each pack.
So that's my questions Bariatricpal world: is there a difference in Meal Replacement shakes and the ones just labeled protein powder Which do you use?
Also, since you're here, if you've had bypass and you're greater than say 5 months out, how many of you are still drinking protein shakes as a regular part of your diet, even if just one meal, say Breakfast.
Thanks for your help!

It has went by rather quickly with all the mandatory tests. Yet I have felt like forever. I made it work a lot faster by doing the leg work and constantly calling them. Today I called to see if they had submitted my paperwork to my insurance and was able to find out they had and I also received my surgery date. September 17, 2019 Still a wait but not to long. Excited but nervous too.

^^^^ This! He's a smarty mcsmartster. Listen to Rick! Your doc's plan is KING!!!!

Remember, that this is just a guideline that somebody published, and that your doc's program is king - do what they say in preference to anything else that you see or hear. The liquid (water in particular) intake in the first week clear liquid phase specified in this piece is frighteningly low - most programs will want you to get in that classic 64+ oz of fluids per day as soon as possible - dehydration will get you back into the hospital sooner than just about anything else.

Yes! This is a great read! I made some of this info into stickers and put them in my food journal. Also, the “Baritastic” app is awesome if you don’t have it!

I really hope you can come to a resolution! Will be cheering you on!

I found this the other day and I think it will be very helpful to me, and I hope to those here.

I have moved my way from morbidly obese to obese, and now, 🥁 overweight!!! I can hardly believe it, but am so elated at this point! Not only under 300 lbs, 250, 200, and now 190!!! I celebrated last weekend by jogging my first 5km marathon! I can’t wait to cut my time for this, however, am also working towards 10 Kms ~ I was able to do 8 kms last week! Still can’t believe this! We’ve got this!!!
