Can’t you change the seat? You can on regular bikes.

Great progress. Keep it up 👍

It’s amazing progress and great to set smaller goals along the way. Congratulations.

Has anyone tried this pizza. I just seen it on targets website and I’m curious about it.

That’s awesome. Good for you.

Awesome. Glad to hear you are having a good recovery. Congrats on the loss. Keep it up.

There was a lawsuit over the older one they said they claimed it had more protein in it than it did. I don’t think they chafed anything with the repackaging just that they updated the nutrition info to reflect the true protein count.

I had fruits in smoothies pretty early out but I waited a while before having whole fruits because I worried about seeds and skin. A lot of programs introduce fruits and veggies earlier though. Dr wiener who is a surgeon who wrote a couple books on eating for weight loss and weight loss surgery is one that starts fruits and veggies earlier.

Yes. I have had a stressful couple days and dreaded getting on the scale cause I thought I would’ve gained and I actually lost. Weird.

Many women have messed up periods post surgery. I had breakthrough bleeding for several weeks (on the pill but not on period days of the cycle) in the beginning and a few days out of The next couple months. It took a few months but it went back to normal.

What stage are you on? When you get to regular foods I always grab a lunchable or P3 protein pack when heading out of the house but a protein shake isn’t a bad idea if you are not to soft or regular foods yet.

Congratulations. 🎉

Yea I assumed it was the correct weight and based my calculations on that but since it’s the first time I bought those I was 100% sure. I mean it’s a machine and they do short you. Not often but sometimes. I know I have been shorted on other things like Oreos in the past where it was definitely obvious some were missing. I guess I could have got out my kitchen scale and weighed it to figure out the servings too but I did it the hard way. Lol

I think the labels are deceptive sometimes. The cauliflower “wings” are like that too. I got them for a treat and it said a serving was about 4 pieces and there are 3.5 servings (so there should be 14 pieces right) but there were only 9 pieces which left me with pencil and paper for a while trying to figure out what I ate calorie wise. I still am not sure if they just shorted me or if it was because the pieces were bigger but I recalculated as if there were still 3.5 servings in there.

Awesome start. Keep it up.

I don’t remember the specifics but I had several stalls along the way. If you are sticking with your plan you will start losing again.

I am able to eat fast too without any pin or issues. I Just make sure it’s the same portion of foods that I have had before and I have been okay. I always eat slowly when having something new. I do try to slow down because I know that a meal will be more satisfying if it lasts longer but it is just a challenge I don’t seem to win.

I had the sleeve and Because I have always been able to eat more at every given stage than I was expected to I have not used the restriction portion of the surgery and I have still been successful so far. I have to measure my food but with the decreased hunger I am able to do that and be satisfied with the smaller portions.

Its honestly not an interview, your medical history will speak for itself as to whether you need the surgery since it is a medical decision. I was nervous too so I get it but try to relax. Maybe come prepared with some questions you have for them so if you feel yourself getting worked up you can ask them to do the talking for a bit.

I had issues with shakes tasting too sweet early on too. It has caffeine so follow your teams rules on that but if your allowed it and like coffee flavor the premiere protein caffe latte was the only one I could tolorate the taste of.

I would assume the others are on the right track. The water would just dilute the nutrients from the food and leave less room for the nutritious food.

If you show signs of dehydration contact your team and they should be able to arrange for you to get fluids as an outpatient. I didn’t have to go to the ER to get fluids.

My only issue was joint pain and that has eased up quite a bit with the weight loss. I wouldn’t lose hope quite yet though, you still have a little ways to go until goal so you may still see relief from some of those conditions. Hopefully all. I do see a lot of people on here saying that those types of things did resolve with post surgery. I just don’t know how close to goal they were when it happened.

Everyone’s preop diet is different. Mine was low fat carb sugar for two weeks and two days liquid and that was hard enough. Some people have to do several weeks liquid. I would just count your blessings if I were you.

That is awesome. Good for you.
