As far as my Protein goes, I use gold standard 100% whey. It is 120 calories per scoop. I double my scoops so one shake is 220 calories. I drink two double scoop shapes per day, one in the morning, and one around 230-3 pm.

I did a lot of reading on Proteins, gold standard whey is the best in my opinion. They is no sugars, and tastes great.

Congrats! That is awesome!! Can you tell me what your lunch and dinner looks like? 2oz seems way too little, like 2 slices of turkey?

Hi there

I would be interested in seeing what your typical meal plan looks like. 2 ozs seems like so little. Even 2 ounces of Soup??

My meals consist of 2 oz. I eat a small egg in the morning or a small packet of oatmeal, sugar free of course, Then I will have a Protein Shake, then lunch will consist of chili or a baked potato, and then I will have another Protein shake a couple hours l;ater. Finally I will have dinner, consisting of maybe clam chowder, or some type of thicker Soup. I like the thicker stuff as it sits better. But.... It is always 2 ounces. I have about 5 cc'c in my 10 cc band so far, and it seems to be doing well, but i am scheduled for another fill today.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
