Sorry Otr but the 50g shake is split forgot to mention that. Btw sleeved 12/7/12 and down 136 lbs as of yesterday' date=' how u doin ? If you are ever in jersey just holla we can hit the gym ... You do that,right? Or do you sit around criticizing people's posts and trade cookie recipes with the ladies.[/quote']

I'm gonna assume that you didn't proof read your post. Because either your surgery isn't for another few months or, you've lost 136 lbs in 17days. Or maybe the 136 is the type-o. Either way, it really doesn't matter. And as far as my progress, it's just fine for me, 60lbs lost in 9 weeks, no complaints here, and coincidently I'm in Jersey about 3-5 times a month. As far as hitting the gym, no thanks, I get enough excersise loading and unloading my truck. That way I can have the time to sit back with the ladies, and take jabs at people that do things like take it upon themselves to label groups of people as "suckers" for simply trying to improve themselves.

If you'd like I'd be happy to invite you to sling 60-80lb cases of beef with me for a couple hours though.

I've had maybe 10 shakes since my surgery in March '11. However, I eat at least one Protein bar a day, usually more. Other than being extremely active at my job, I don't exercise, and if you add up all of the time I've been in a hospital and/or on bed rest for non-WLS related issues, it probably totals 3 months of the past 16. I've lost 138 lbs, the majority of which I'd lost by last Christmas. I don't have anything against the shakes, the bars just work better for my life and my schedule, and I think I lost a decent amount of weight eating them.

Good for you Tiffers, really! I forgot how touchy we become when we are separated from our old comfortable foods. Never realized in today's times "sucker" would cause such ire . Point was most "protein bars"are anything but. Here is what is laying around ; Cliff builder 270 cal 20g Protein 8g fat 5 is sat. fat 20g sugar and the protein is soy isolate & concentrate, Carb conscious supreme protein 400 cal 19g fat 12 Is sat. Fat ..actually m Donald's cheese burger 300 cal 12gfat 15 protein starts to look ok. Not saying eat burgers lose weight ..just saying ,because it's a Protein Bar does not mean its for me!

I don't love Protein bars, but I keep them in my desk at work for busy days. I split them in half and get way full. I prefer the crunchy ones like a trail mix bar rather than the nougat kinds. Clif is my favorite I've tried so far.

I really like the Atkins bars. They have meal bars that are high in Protein and low in sugar and carbs. I also snack on a lot of nuts and string cheese. :)

I eat the Atkins bars. The "meal" ones have higher Protein. But they are all low carb and low sugar. Not sure about the calories. I'm more than a year post op so I can eat whole one in a 30 min span if I pace myself.

Do you have a hard time eating them? I'm 8 weeks post op and they look so big to me! I ordered them but haven't tried yet! I'm traveling at the end if the month and want to take them as an option!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
