I also had someone recommend Nectar protein by Syntrax but I haven't tried it yet. They have a sample pack on their website where you can try all 14 flavors for $14 bucks. I was thinking of ordering...

I actually just ordered and received samples of the SEI Max Protein from greatprotein.com. The only one I've tried so far was the vanilla and while it was okay it was no where near as delicious as...

I've finally lost 100 pounds!! Went shopping and bought a few pieces of clothing today. My jeans are a size 6 and my workout pants and jacket are a small. SMALL! That's one word I have never used to...

I started out at 5'3", 245 pounds which was a size 20/22. Right now, 7 months later, I'm at 142 and a size 6/8. I was horrible with taking measurements beforehand and am just now starting to shop so...

Oh how I miss salads and vegetables. Even being 7 months out I still eat so little that with a "protein first" mentality I barely have room for any more than a bite or two of anything else. I can...

Again, thanks everyone for your kind words. =)

@cc828 I have never been able to eat as much as my nutritionist recommends on my menu planners and even after 6 months can only handle a few ounces...

All of you are very sweet! I have been lucky to keep my booty and my chest. The skin is another story, although because I still have a bit of toning to do I'm not so sure it's loose skin as much as...

I'm *almost* 6 months out. I've lost 89.4 pounds and dropped my bmi from 43.4 to 27.6. I've gone from a size 20-22 womens to a size 12. I've been lucky to not have any significant stalls and notice...

Like others have said, I wish I could have started this journey 10 years ago at 16. I can imagine my life would be much different now. I'm very glad that you got this opportunity and I wish you the...

I had my sleeve done in august and I remember I was really regretful at first because I had a tough time with pain. One day 2 weeks out I woke up and all was well. Now 4 months out I'm 70 pounds...

My surgery went amazingly, my recovery was only slightly bumpy, and I'm only 4 months out but I can tell you I would do it all over again just for the results I've seen so far. This is a life changer...

I weigh in once a week. In the very beginning of my journey I told myself I would not be numbers obsessed. I'm more concerned with how my body is changing than the fluctuations on the scale. Besides,...

I'd say it depends on whether you are going through insurance or self-pay. If insurance it depends on if they require a period of supervised dieting. I met with my surgeon for the first time in early...

I'm a spanx girl but I had been for years before surgery. I can wear them daily, hot or cold, with no issues. I LOVE the way they suck me in and smooth me out. Not sure if they actually help with...

It's a gel capsule. 100mg once daily. It was prescribed to me about 1 week post-op and I only take it occasionally. Never had any issues swallowing the small pill.

My doc prescribed Colace and it definitely helped me. I hope you feel better!

Don't cancel!! You will be much more regretful if you cancel than if you go through with it. Trust me! I would go through the surgery and the recovery 100x over for the results I've seen and I'm only...

This surgery is a tool and is going to require behavioral modification on your part. Remember that when you are healed up and released into the world back onto "normal" foods you are the one who has...

haha thanks for the chuckle. Apparently I've lost an elephant's penis and would like to lose another! Who knew?!

I've been really bad about tracking my food. Shame on me, I know. But I've attempted to track it for a few days now and I've been shocked at how little I'm eating. I'm no where near where my...

You guys are way too sweet. There's a lot you aren't seeing in that picture! (Like my belly..um..flap?) Most of my stretch marks are silvery and hard to see but I'm worried with the more weight I...

2 weeks for me. As soon as I felt ready I just went for it. Have fun!

I had a really rough time after my surgery and ended up in the hospital again later that week for dehydration. Even so, there was a moment late in week 2, early 3 that I woke up and was fine. My...

The difference is fantastic, way to go!

Hang in there, this is the worst of it. Before you know it you'll be up and at it and losing. Good luck.
