Hi Marcie First we have to get to the bottom of why you feel it was a waste of time? What is causing you to remain focused on your health and avoid the backslide. Missy

Hello I know that protein shakes is a challenge to like but protein is required. Some other options that have a soft texture are chabani non fat at 90 calories greek yogurt and cottage cheese I really like protein premier shake. It is 160 cal 30 gms of protein. My fav flavor is vanilla and caramel Hope my recommendations help. Missy Sent from my SM-G960U1 using BariatricPal mobile app

Hello Carbs are in many different foods, fruits and veggies. It is about eating them with moderation. I try to eat more green leaf veggies that do not have many calories and low in carbs. I can provide a list of them if you would like

It has been a challenge getting back into the swing of things. I learned that food is the main source in any social gathering. Unfortunately i was unable to keep it to myself being that i have various restrictions and they became displeased with time. How is dating for you?

I agree with the fact that carbs slows down your weight loss. Its important to include some exercise on a weekly basis. I try to go to the gym 3 x a week for 45mins. I donot eat red meat. I do eat fish, chicken, veggies and fruits. But i try to stay away from veggies with high calories

Best of luck and stay in touch with us. Missy

Good Morning, Wishing you all the best. Stay in touch. Missy

Hi Good Morning, Wishing you all the best in the weight loss journey you are about to encompass. I look forward to hear all about it when you are in the best of energy (a few days from today). I am here for the support. Missy

Hello Group! Today is my first day here onsite. I started my lifestyle change on 3/9/2009 when I had my WLS-Lapband. I went through some immediate results but 6 years later I developed an erosion in the mouth of the stomach that caused my tool to be removed. I experienced a rapid weight gain! On April 19 2016, my surgeon revisited my case and I was approved for a revision. We agreed on the Gastric Bypass. The surgery went well. I take my Vitamins, eat right etc. On august 16, 2019 I underwent the panniculectomy surgery which went very well. The recovery process was about a month. I am very happy with the results. Now, what I am currently experiencing is the UPs and Downs of weight loss and weight gain due to the unprecedented times we are experiencing and the challenges we faces each day. In March 2020, I was required to work from home which was great but the exercising has been limited. OMG how I miss the gym... I visited my nutritionist and she recommended I join this website for some guidance, support or even a fruitful tip that can keep me motivated. I do not wish to go backwards, I want to continue losing and I just seem to have lost sight. HELP
