I'm almost 6 months out and never could drink the Protein shakes. They wouldn't stay down. However, if I made a homemade shake with pumpkin seed based Protein power, I could keep it down. It didn't taste good but I was getting protein.

I've struggled with Protein Shakes as well but recently found one that actually tastes good, if you like banana ha ha it's called muscle milk and I buy them at the fast gas here! They are 25g of Protein and 220 calories for 414 ml! I totally enjoy them ever morning now!

I'm from just outside ft sask....was sleeved July 22, 2014. Down 120 pounds since my heaviest, 100 pounds since surgery. I was sleeved in Tijuana. I've got a little bit of loose skin but it's not terrible. I'm actually in the process of gaining weight now so I can go for plastics.

Can I ask why you have to gain weight for plastics?

You have to have a certain amount of body fat for the procedure I want (Brazilian butt lift) I don't want bum implants lol. I need to gain back a bit of chub so that they can suck it out and make me a new arse ???? gaining weight after the sleeve has proved a pretty big challenge for me....pre op I thought about food and I'd get bigger. Now I just eat and eat and eat....and nothing.

Oh interesting! Lol yeah I'd still have enough chub, but your right it would be very hard to gain any amount back now! Can I ask where you are having your plastics done?

      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
