    Hi:-) I try to get in about 80 grams of protein a day. When I first wake up, I drink 16 oz of diet iced tea (I cant eat for about an hr or so. This is usually around 4:30am). I make a protein smoothie with Syntrax Nectar cappucino and milk. It gives me about 33 grams of protein total. I sip water after that. Around 10am I have some type of protein and cheese. Ive been eating about 3ounces of oscar mayer deli select roast beef with one ounce of swiss cheese. I cut the cheese into thirds and and take a few slices of the meat and wrap it up. Then I drink more. When I get home from work around 1:30, I usually have some of whatever left overs we had for dinner or cottage cheese and peaches. More liquids until dinner around five. I focus on my protein first, usually eating two bites of protein and one bite of whatever else we have. I try to finish up my liquids after dinner. If I want a snack, I eat it at 7:00.
    Lately its been Blue Bunny Sweet Freedom ice cream. I keep it to the flavors that are between 90-110 calories.

    At almost four months out, I am usually between 700-900 calories. I tend to be closer to 900 or a bit higher on the weekends and lower during the week. I try to vary my calories like that so my body wont get used to stuff. As far as exercise....what exercise.?!?! Im bad, I havent started doing anything yet except make my hubby move my treadmill back into the house. Right now its covered in clothes and Mardi Gras beads:-)

    Hi, How are you? Let me tell you about myself. I started having bad pains when I would eat, I thought bad gas. So I went to the hospital and they call the surgeons that do weight loss surgery here at a Top hospital in New Orleans .Well
    I am here for the night because they did MRI, That leak Test and a lot of blood work. All was good, they said they would follow me also gave a good comment to Dr Almanza said the surgery look really great. They switch my meds to liquid and gave me something to take before I eat to relax the muscles. I am happy the spoke great of Dr Almanza and everything is great

  8. Check southwest.com for a better flight price. I found flights for under 200 through southwest airlines. I have flown a few times and I dont care about flying coach. Long as I get there and back. They have good rates. Im g oing to pack same. I need to be as comfortable as possible on the return flight with my new tummy. Well have an amazing blessed day. Ttyl... look into protein shakes etc on unjury. I have to stress finding something before cause we are too young to let our hair be falling out for lack of protein lol.
  9. I had continued whst I was saying about plans for a cruise a year from our surgeries but this thing lost the message. My email is steaphanie214@gmail.com so you can always hit me up directly. I wrote all thst message anf it just resent the same message lol. Smh
  10. Hey. Yeah very similar stories. Im 38 we both Aquarius. Lol. My husband will be coming along. He wants to be there when I wake up. Check out the unjury website for the protein. Im going to order the sampler kit so I know what I like. We have to be prepared and also prepare our men for this change. I get disturbed reading some of the post about husbands not being suoportive and I think it is just a low sekf esteem, controlling and selfish. Insecure men smh . My husband is cool as a cucumber, im the firecracker but we will be fine. I talk to him about everything I read on here. Your son gonna take care if his mommy. So sweet. My oldest is 23, he is like that too. All 5 of my sons love their mom. Blessed is an understatement. Well start using scrubs in the areas you want to smooth out and thrn when u get out the bath apply your firming lotions. Do all this now so your skin will be likr that after lol. Im going to add you to my future
