Haha. Thanks. They're part of a family pajama set. My wife is a Disney fanatic so she keeps trying to put me Disney related clothing (hence the toy story shirt). My pajama pants are grey with black stripes and hers are grey with red stripes. Our daughter's are grey with one leg of red stripes and the other leg with black stripes.



What a cool set up!!

If you do what your nutritionist and surgeon advise, you'll do fine. Just be patient and plan ahead for your meals. I eat pretty much the same thing for Breakfast and lunch every day. dinner varies but it revolves around lean Proteins and fruits or veggies. I eat three 4oz meals a day with one 8oz Protein Drink before my breakfast. The Protein drink is one scoop of Allmax Isoflex zero sugar chocolate Peanut Butter and 8 oz of soy milk. The powder is 27g of protein and the soy milk is 8g, giving me 35g of protein. It took a lot of trial and error to find the right combo of Protein Powder and milk to drink but this one is pretty good. For some reason, I can't drink cow milk any more. I can eat all other sorts of dairy, just not milk. I can drink it, I just don't like it. Lastly, I drink 100oz of Water a day.

I hope that helps.

Good luck!

I should have mentioned that with my meals I eat in total about 90g of Protein. My nutritionist advises that I target 75-113g of protein.

Good luck!

      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
