Julzzz

I am at a stall. Should I just do protein shakes for 3 days to jump start? I drink the premier protein shakes that are 30 grams of protein and 180 calories? When I met with nurse last she said I wasn't getting enough calories or protein in but I try to snack a lot. Please help!!! I have lost 33 lbs in 4 months (in a stall the last month). I am very active too - work out at least 3-4 X week. Travel a lot for work too. TIA! Started at 222 - currently 188.

Also, I was sleeved from a lap band on July 9th. Started at 222 and am at 188. Slowly but surely! I would love to be 155. Help!!!

Good morning! I have similar issues. Haven't lost any in a month. I do work out very well 3-4 X week. I need to get back strictly on protein. I am not a fan of grilled chicken but I can eat sliced deli chicken, string cheese, peanut butter, almonds, veggies and try to have a Premier Protein shake daily. What are your thoughts? Btw, I had started drinking my Reisling and/or vodka and have limited that to at most once per week. I need a buddy on this site! ????

My doctor said not to take gummy vitamins - only chewables. He said there is a specific vitamin missing in the gummy. I found mine at CVS. They aren't bad at all to taste.

Why no alcohol? I will be treating myself to one drink per week after my 6 week anniversary provided I am hitting all my milestones. ????

I am just over 1 week out and my doctor said I can start weight training. Just do not lift over 20 lbs until 6 weeks. Do what you can and feel comfortable with. Good luck!!

Pain meds do not help unfortunately. Walk, walk, walk and also lying on the bed with my head hanging off the edge helped the gas settle down again. It is such a headache!! ????

My doctor had me take Magnesium Citrate the day before surgery. Worked like a charm! The cherry flavor tasted great - just be sure and chill it. I took it at 2:00 pm the day before. It will clean you out within a few hours. Good luck!

My BMI was 33 when I was sleeved last week. Let's see how my progress goes. I have 65 lbs to lose now.

So, a lot of the food is not actually puréed? You can eat sliced deli meat and scrambled eggs? That's exciting! I was thinking I had to put everything through the blender. Are you having the tuna with low fat mayo?

I had my sleeve last Thursday, July 9th! ????????????

Hi everyone! I had my band to sleeve revision on July 9th - feel great! Just a little sore and walking helps. I did gain 7 lbs from surgery but lost that plus 2 more. I am trying to figure out what to eat on the puréed foods portion for 2 weeks. Any ideas?

I start this phase on Thursday. What did everyone eat?

Amazing!!!!

Hi everyone! I had my band removed and sleeve surgery last Thursday, July 9th. I would love buddies who had theirs around the same time frame. I gained 7 lbs from surgery and have lost that plus 1 more lb. So sick of the protein shakes now lol. How is everyone else doing? So excited to see everyone's progress!
