Its been 1yr since my surgery so I don't know how much I should be having at this point

Try this link: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/tools/bmr-calculator

It will tell you what your Basil Metabolic Rate (BMR) is and you can figure out how many calories you need daily to lose weight.

Most folks end up close to 2000 calories a day after they hit goal. This also assumes some exercise.

Tonight I tried an ice cream replacement called arctic zero. Its made with whey Protein. It wasn't creamy but its easy on the taste buds. I got Peanut Butter chocolate and might actually add a little peanut butter.

Well I have always been a chocoholic before the sleeve but after I still find myself searching the cupboards in the middle of the night for that chocolate rush can anyone help me with any suggestions for stopping the cravings thanx

I was never a big candy eater prior to surgery, but I find myself really enjoying my choc Calcium chews. The brand is Bariatric Advantage.....they're like little Tootsie Rolls! I take four per day.

Yes. Gotta have the chocolate. NutriWise by Doctors Best hot chocolate is Aspartame Free. 80 caloreis 3 carb and 15 Protein. I'm not a coffee drinker but love this for my first hot drink of the day. Also add chocolate protein to surgar free chocoloate pudding. Jello chocolate mousse temptations All good for the chocolate craving.. but you must stay in control.

My wife like to have these hot chocolate Protein drinks almost daily for chocolate fix and at the same time contributing to protein goals.

Not at all. In fact, they help with maintaining or losing weight by feeding the muscles.

I tried the Arctic Zero and I think it's very good. I set it out on the counter to thaw a bit first. I had the chocolate mint.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
