Calling January Sleever????



Recommended Posts

I was doing the same thing trying to get everything in and started to gain weight. My doctor called it "last supper syndrome." Anyhow you're not alone if they've gotta a name for it :) good luck to you and definitely keep us posted.

@@avermette Glad to know I am not alone! I have been getting a bit better at NOT making excuses to have bad meals. In fact, a comment made by our local pizza place snapped me out of giving in any more. We had called to order (again!) And someone in the back said 'they order a lot'. I was mortified. No more! I have lost 2lbs this week and have been doing well during the day with Protein drinks, string cheese and Water. At night we have a ton of veggies and a lean Protein as well. Not having a few drinks during the weekend hasn't been sucessful, though :(

I am totally loving the GNC lean chocolate shakes and am excited as I have some Syntrax nectar on the way...lemonade, iced tea and peach. I like chocolate, but am sure that eventually I will be wanting something new.

TWO MONTHS!!!!!!!!

I hope all you January sleever keep in touch because I want to make sure I have a good support group to turn to when I might be having a hard time. I've been doing test runs on my pre op and they have not been really successful so I need support alone just for that.

@@KSTUZ YES!!! Same day! I do not live far from Abington Hosp so if you want to get together and go to the gym, grab a Protein shake or better yet shop for our new cloths let ms know! ????

Awesome! Where are you? I'm in Hatboro. That would be incredible.

I go to planet fitness in warminster, I have the black card so I can bring someone everyday for $0!

Support in the area is key!! That would be so cool!!

Katie :)

@@mkw10 I will for sure keep you updated. So far, I have tried:

*GNC Total Lean chocolate (YUM) And it keeps me full longer

*Premier Protien chocolate (Also good) I don't feel as full for as long, but it has more Protein...don't know how that works?

*EAS strawberry (Eh) Tastes like strawberry Milk, didn't keep me full for as long as the other two

*Isopure Cookies and Cream (Ehhhhh) Tasted .... interesting. I mixed it with chocolate almond milk and it was better than with Water.

I should be getting the Syntrax next week in the mail, so I will post more later :)

I also got some generic Metamucil capsules as my doctor allows one per day on the preop diet. I take mine at lunch and it does help!!! I was weary because I have never taken Metamucil before and thought I would need to poo at work,but I didn't. Handy to know!

I have found that chugging some Water before the shake, then drinking the shake, the downing more water helps me with feeling full. I am also trying to kick my diet coke habit because it makes me hungry. But it is just SO....diet cokey and it's hard to kick.

We got this!

      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! 😞
