Congratulations! You will be in wonderful hands with Dr Ortiz - he and his staff are amazing!!
My family wasn't 100% on board with going to Mexico either, but I handed over all my research on Dr...
Here's an open letter from a nutritionist to Dr Oz about his claims and raspberry ketones. I'm in the "Dr Oz is full of crap" camp. He succumbed to the national sensationalized media spotlight... :(...
I have heard varying opinions on the sugar alcohols. I always used to deduct them, along with the fiber, but recently I read somewhere that sugar alcohols actually do still affect your blood sugars,...
Well, I'm going to be the rebel here and recommend Lose It! I like it better than Myfitnesspal simply because I'm extremely anal retentive and a perfectionist. I don't like that I am getting a...
I've been putting PB2 (powdered peanut butter) in my shakes with absolutely no issues at all. Of course, WAY less fat and sugar than regular, but it tastes exactly the same!
Try that for a little...
I have been averaging between 600-800 day as well, but honestly that's not what I'm counting. I'm making sure I'm getting AT LEAST 60g (pushing for 80-100g) each day and that just happens to be where...
Nada! We generally don't celebrate Valentine's Day. I'm not the overly romantic type, I don't wear jewelry and I basically don't even care about receiving gifts. We both believe that you should treat...
My pre-op diet did allow for diet soda, but was also told not to drink them after. The bubbles in the carbonation can stretch your sleeve.
I, too, was feeling that way... until I got a B-12 shot. That put my energy levels at right back to normal. :)
Actually, if you're drinking MORE water, you should be retaining LESS. Your body retains water when you're NOT drinking it, because it needs to hold on to it when in it's not coming in.
I would...
I have always heard (and this has nothing to do with the surgery) that a good amount is 1g for every pound of lean mass. So if that is correct, then 55g would be no where near enough to lose only fat...
Ugh! So sorry you had to go through that!
I just want to say that if you do end up going with Ortiz, you'll be in great hands. I can't say enough about him and his entire staff!!
Good luck...
Thanks, I'm going to give it a try! :)
That rocks!! How awesome!! Congratulations!! :)
Yep, it only gets better from here!! Congratulations! :)
Congrats and keep us posted. :)
Yay!! So excited for you that today is your day!! Can't wait to hear from you. :)
I think that loss is fantastic! That's averaging .42 lbs a day, which is almost 3 lbs a week! That's incredible, if you ask me!!
Good job, sounds like you're rocking your sleeve!!...
They are known to cause ulcers (in regular-sized stomachs), so our tiny tummies have no shot at staving them off...
I so know the feeling!! Chili was HEAVEN when I moved to the pureed stage. It was like I had never had chili before! Haha!! :)
Yep, I weigh everything and use a program like Lose It! (I like better than MyFitnessPal because there aren't thousands of entries entered by anyone that seem to be wrong often when I check them -...
I can actually take pretty normal drinks of water already. For a former gulper (I used to slam down a good 10 oz at a time), I feel pretty normal when it comes to drinking water.
But, like David...
They were not bad at all! My 4-yr old at 4 of them, which is a good indicator of how "normal" they tasted. Haha!
I did make them with the greek yogurt instead of egg & oil, and it made them so...
You look absolutely amazing! Congrats!! http://www.runemasterstudios.com/graemlins/images/confetti.gif
