How is the September 2014 group doing?

Hey guys - hope everyone is doing well on their diets. Loving it that I can now have veggies and fruits!!!! My last threshold is grains at 6 months. I really don't miss them much though. Seems like my weight loss has slowed a little now; averaging 2-3 pounds per week. My average day is for Breakfast - either a Protein Shake or Protein bar; for lunch - protein (mostly cold cuts) and then for a snack during the day I have a GNC Quest bar (chocolate and Peanut Butter are my fav). For supper - same as lunch except I usually add a couple of veggies. I don't seem to get hungry, but I sure know when the fork needs to be put down!!!! It's a weird sensation, isn't it? Kinda like your stomach is in your back, with a slight stabbing pain like you are getting ready to let out a MAJOR burp. I was blessed not to have the 6-8 week misery month. I have only had dry heaves 3 times since surgery, so I consider myself very lucky. Looking forward to Spring - shopping for new clothes (I figure I can be baggy a lot in sweats this winter), and the best thing - New Boobs and Tummy Tuck. Looking forward to getting in the 100's soon with my weight. Can't remember the last time that was the case!! Take care my friends!!

It's great to hear you are doing so well! Same here! I am so happy with this surgery. I have been allowed to add a little bread back so long as it's toasted (whole wheat, rye or whole wheat sandwich thins) and some crackers. I love Nut Thins since they have a little Protein in a serving.

Wishing you continued success!

Hi! I have lost 46 pounds and am 9 weeks out. I started eating everything in small portions, wasn't exercising, and wasn't losing. I went back to the rules: Protein, veggies, carbs if room. I'm losing again. Today I had a great exercising experience. I walked on my treadmill at 4.0 speed and did two miles in 34 minutes! Then I lifted weights and ran my dog while one bike. I'm so happy! Happy Thanksgiving!

Doing good down 73 pounds but dealing with serious depression despite all the good that has come from the surgery... Yes this can be a complication. I have never dealt with this before. Getting treatment and feel good about that part.

Also under 300 pounds for the first time in 10 years.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
