@@MichelleTN Sorry to hear you're struggling. Maybe you can try these. I love them and have one every day. Just go to their website drinkprotein2o.com and put your zip code in to find a store near you. Here they only sell them at a specific gas station but they've been on sale 2 for $3. If you can't find them, they sell them on Amazon. Best of Luck and keep us posted!

Thank you. I'll check them out. I just bought 2 cases of my Premier Protein, I've been using it since surgery and now bam it's making me sick. I just don't want to get back into old habits of eating. I can tell without Protein I am hungry a lot more.

@@MichelleTN Oh no! Are the Premier Protein shakes making you physically sick or are you just sick of drinking them? I use the vanilla as my coffee Creamer every day. If you like pudding or frozen pudding pops, put those shakes to work for you with my recipe:

Premier Protein Pudding Cups or Pops

Prepare pudding according to package directions replacing milk with chocolate Premier Protein Shake. I prefer to use my NutriBullet. If using shaker, shake for 3 minutes or until thickened slightly. Pour into ½ cup containers for pudding cups. For frozen pops, pour into Jello pudding pop or any popsicle molds. Jello molds hold 1/3 cup each. Pudding cups set in 5 minutes and freezer pops in approx. 2-3 hours. Any flavor sugar-free fat-free pudding works, so get creative and enjoy!

I also like to put Greek yogurt in the Jello molds and freeze them. So many flavor options and it's fun to have something to sink your teeth into :D

They are making my stomach hurt. I think I might be developing lactose intolerance. I go to my 6mo check up on Thursday so I'm going to talk to them about it.

Thank you for the ideals, I've never thought of all that.

Mine has slowed way down. I can eat a lot on some days but other days I can't. If I'm honest it depends on the quality of food as to how much I can eat. Better quality = less food. I know this but some days I just want to snack. All in all I'm happy with where I am, of course I'd love to get to my qoal weight but I feel so much better I'm happy.

      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.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      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!!
