Hey Janice! Thank you. How are you doing? Hope all is well! Happy one year to you.

Thank you but i havent been as successful as many in our group. Could be lack of exercise. Or very slow metabolism. I have only lost 50. So now i am reaching out for diet aids to help my hump. Very upsetting. Sometimes i dont even feel like i had the operation. Like he opened me up and closed me. Could be hormonal to. I will find my way surely

I heard if you are using the wrong Protein supplements it can slow your weightloss, I use Unjury Protein Shakes once a day for Breakfast. My husband also had the surgery in March, he Snacks a lot which is a no no but he still seems to lose. Quite honestly I do not exercise, I haven't seemed to fit that in yet! ???? I have leveled off and if I start gaining I think that will be my motivation.... Also along with the shakes we take 1 bariatric Vitamin A day and 3 bariatric Calcium supplements a day. I order all this from unjury.com thier chocolate splendor shakes are really good! It might be worth trying something different! I always keep sugar free Popsicles in the freezer, if I feel like snacking or filling my face I eat one, usually two, they are 10 calories a pop and are better than the alternative! Hope this helps! First and foremost DO NOT GIVE UP! Good luck!

Yes i started out with Unjury, had all flavors. Just couldnt get them down after 3 weeks. Then use ensure high Protein and adkins Protein Shakes. I do snack too much. But love the soy bean roasted nuts and edamame Beans. Roasted they are good and 1 bag last me about a week. But i am working around all of this

I have a question, first of all I am a nail tech and when I do pedicures I have to lean forward a little and sometimes I get what feels a cramp in my stomach. Kinda like I am pinching an intestine or something only when I bend just slightly forward. When I sit up straight the cramp is gone. Have any of you ever felt a weirdness in your abdomen?

      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.

      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!!
