You might want to ease into the steak. A lot of us found steak hard to eat. For me personally, I was unsuccessful at eating stake until month 5. Tried 3-4 times before that. You may have better luck, but thought I would warn you ahead of time.

Tried out the two think thin flavors today and got nauseous after eating. I think they are too sweet or something is messing with my gag reflex. Felt kind of sick for an hour. First time. Now I am sure I Like the nu go bars because they do not leave any after feeling like think thin bars did. Maybe it is because there is some ingredient in the think thin bar that I am not agreeing with. I am Protein loading to help my legs repair a bit after a weekend hike. Still able to run on my treadmill at incline 5% (oh, felt so good and the sweat was a river), but I look like a zombie walking around the house due to my two stiffies ( no ideas ladies!! :) ) it will probably clear up by Wednesday. In the meanwhile I am adding 3 extra protein based meals in between my 6 meals in order to get in the high protein ( 200+) over next day or two. Extra 600 calories or so daily to get me around 1800-2000. Then I will drop back to 1200. Probable good for my BMR to try this little experiment out.

Tried out the Detour Lean Muscle Bar today. It is not bad in terms of taste, nutritional stats and satiety. The flavor I got is cookie dough caramel. This may be on the sweet side for some, but it does not seem to bother me.

Calories: 190

Fat: 6g

Carbs: 17 g (1 Fiber, w sugar and 13 sugar alcohols)

Sodium : 230 mg

Protein: 16 g

Vitamins: claim is 21 Vitamins and minerals.

A little high on sodium, but still manageable. I still like the nu go slim bars better over all.

I live off of Quest bars. I think they are some of the best out there. Mixed berry is my favorite.

      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.

      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

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
