Havent' been on here in a while. Have lost a total of 79 lbs since surgery on 2/15.
I feel I struggle a lot. I do however continue to go to the gym 3x a week. Water is a struggle. Easy to go back to bad habits but I am soooo much better than prior to surgery. Not gaining, but just not losing either. Thought I would be further along in my weight loss. Still, glad I did it. Best decision I ever made.

It's been awhile since we last spoke. Just wanted to update... However at this point you have been well on your way! I'm still not sleeved yet. August 31 is my big day. Still experimenting with protein. Lol... And by that I mean, it has taken my awhile to build up courage and try about 3 different kinds! Lol... I did a ton of research, a ton of asking for others suggestions. I'm happy to report I found the very best protein...hands down. It is called genepro. 1 TBS has 30 grams of protein...and it is 100% completely tasteless. The stuff is amazing. Mixes smooth, small amount, mixes hot and cold... If you are still having trouble, and I hope not... Do yourself a favor and try it! I bought my first go around on Amazon , a 1lb container. My second go around was a 3lb container found cheapest on eBay. Hope you are doing well... And hope to stay in touch!

I still have not opened mine. Sigh. Maybe this week? My daughter is home from college, maybe she will be brave enough to experiment with me. Thank you so much for updating me. I feel the same way about jolly ranchers... We are too much a like! I have to look up where a GNC is located near me. I am hoping to even find a non flavored powder, that can be placed into my favorite drink / crystal lite products. At least I know I like the flavor... However, I hear even non flavored has flavor? And if the powder is gritty, it will be a no go! Thanks for the vitamin tips. I had better get busy. I promise to work on this and report back! .....if I survive!! Lol.....

Glad to hear there are others in my boat about flavors and textures. Please keep me posted, and I will do likewise... If you find something tolerable. I still have not opened my NewWhey, but feel sure that diluting it is the ticket? My surgeon and nutritionist want me to have 100 grams of protein a day, for 2 years post op. It is important for me to find something I like. I have to get brave and find something before surgery. Best wishes! Please keep me posted!

Looking forward to hearing your journey!

Thanks! My surgery was pushed to 1/22/15 because of insurance taking so long to approve.

Thanks!!!!

Thanks!

He is an amazing doctor. You will be in great hands. Tell him I said hi when you see him again. I'll see him in December.

Dr. Judd! He is the best!
