Hey I havent tried that. I really need something liquid that is good for bfast bc by 8:00 i am starving but cant get anything in but liquids until about 11 or 12...honestly though I havent found a shake yet that is high in Protein that I like. Thats mainly why I do the shooters bc its bad taste(not too bad) for a really short period. But in your opinion how does the choc truffle compare to other shakes?

I have tried the Matrix vanilla and added banana, and when I first had surgery I would mix the vanilla with sugar free instant Breakfast but I could still taste the protein a little bit but bearable...I have tried the Matrix Cookies and cream if not mixed in blender it taste like protein, mixed in blender its better but not great.... I just had my 2nd fill Monday and I'm not eating as much as I was and I'm not hungary except for early in the morning. I'm starving....Hope y'all find something that helps. Have a Great day....

I dont understand the logic of this so maybe someone can help me...Mon-frid I get up early usually around 5:30 so by like 7 or8 I am STARVING but on the weekends I sleep maybe til 7 or 8 sometimes 9 but I can go until like 1 or so and have to make myself eat....Whats the deal why is it so different maybe I need to sleep late everyday.

Hi,

I really can't tell much difference since my 2nd fill but she only added 1cc the first time and the 2nd time only 1cc sooo maybe my #3 fill will be the magic one.. However I have hit the 40 pounds lost goal and that is very exciting.

I am sick with sinus infection and have been eating ice all day yesterday and it just goes right thru so I probably lost at least 2 pounds yesterday. We went to the circus last night and it was fun.

Here is a slide show that hubby made, see if yall can view it.

I have a question on the 6 month diet. My weigh-ins have fallen around the 28th/29th of the month for my last 5 visits. I have two more to go, but I am in a dilema on this month. Since there are only 28 days in the month, I either have to go less than 30 days from my last visit, or skip the month of February, and go at the first of March. I am really paranoid about BCBS pulling something stupid and not counting this weigh-in. What would ya'll do? As of right now, I made my appointment for March 2nd. My doctor is on vacation the 25th - 27th, so the only other option I have is the 24th. Should I do the 24th or the 2nd? :tongue2:

venzwife, i would worry to much about it. because i did it all for you when i had to skip a visit like that. my doctor had a kid and couldnt make the visit so i had to go 2 and half weeks later and they didnt say anything. so i think you will be fine with what you got.

by the way hows everything going?

crimson tide man, it will be here and over before you know it.

Good Morning

I have a question. Remember my first fill was a bad one and I had to get an unfill b/c I was throwing up everything I put in. Well that has been almost two weeks ago and now I noticed I feel no restriction. Yesterday, I fixed me an egg for breakfast(this is usually all I can eat)but after eating it I was still hungry. I did not feel full at all. I also noticed that I am getting hungry way before 4hrs.(It's more like 1 1/2 to 2 hrs and I'm hungry again.) I don't want to gain any weight back. So this brings me to my question, Should I call and see it they will give me another fill? Please Help.

      2 days until I fly out to San Diego to have my Bypass Surg. in Tiajuana Mexico. Not gonna lie, the nerves are starting to surface. I don't fear the surgery itself, or the fact that I'm traveling alone, but its the aftermath that I'm stressing about the most, after this 8 week wait. I'm excited to finally be here, but I am really dreading the post surgical chapter. I know its going to be tough, real tough and I think I'm just in my head to much now that the day i here. Wish me luck, Hopefully I'm one of the lucky ones, and everything goes smoothly. Cant wait to give an exciting update,. If there is anyone else have a June bypass or even a recent one, Id love to have someone to compare war stories with. Also, anyone near San Antonio Tx? See ya soon with the future me. 💜

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

        I'm so happy for you! You are about to change your life. I was so glad to get the sleeve done in Dec. I didn't have feelings of regret overall. And I'm down almost 60 lbs. I do feel a little sad at restaurants. I can barely eat half a kid's meal. I get adults meals often because kid ones don't have the same offerings at times. Then I feel obligated to eat on that until it's gone and that can be days. So the restaurant thing isn't great for me. All the rest is fine by me! I love feeling full with very little. I do wish I could drink when eating. And will sip at the end. Just a strong habit to stop. But I'm working on it! You will do fine! Just keep focused on your desire to be different. Not better or worse. But different. I am happy both ways but my low back doesn't like me that heavy. So I listened (also my feet!). LOL! Update us on your journey! I'm not far from you. I'm in Houston. Good luck and I hope it all goes smoothly! Would love to see pics of the town you go to for this. I've never been there. Neat you will be traveling for this! Enjoy the journey. Take it one day at a time. Sometimes a few hours at a time. Follow all recommendations as best you can. 💗

        Thank you so much for your well wishes. I am hoping that everything goes easy for me as well. We don't eat out much as it is, so it wont be too bad in that department. Thankfully. Also, I hear you regarding your back and feet!! I'd like to add knees to the list. Killing me as we speak! I'm only 5' so the weight has to go. Too short to carry all this weight. Menopause really did a doosey on me. (😶lol) My daughter also lives in Houston. with her Husband and my 5 grand-littles. I grew up in Beaumont, so I know Houston well, I will be sure to keep in touch and update you on my journey. I may need some advice in the future, or just motivation. Thank You so much for reaching out, I was hoping to connect with someone in the community. I really appreciate it. 💜

      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.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        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.
