Here are the shake recipes from my cookbook. You'll have to figure out nutrition info for yourself. Also, double check ingredients to make sure okay for you. Author was NOT a bariatric specialist. I'll indicate the ones I've tried with an asterik. All ingredients for each shake are mixed in a...

Sure...will do so tonight!

Don't want to sound weird but...you look great!

...to be "tickled pink" that I've lost enough weight that the doctors I work with are asking people behind my back if I'm okay???? :D

Hi, Have cookbook that has several recipes for protein shakes. For this one you take one serving of your brand of vanilla flavored protein powder, mix with 1 cup of unsweetened apple juice, 4-6 ice cubes, dash of Butter Buds and cinnamon (I use a lot of cinnamon in mine) and combine in a...

Sound great. Think you could substiture Egg Beaters or egg whites?

Thanks for posting. Did you use flavored protein powder or unflavored?

Having the same problem. Not a lot but sometimes my stomach just rebels, even though the meal is one I've had before and done fine. Eating fast does make it worse but sometimes happens even when I eat slow.

Riding in the car and my husband reached over to hold my hand last night. He started grasping my hand and feeling my fingers and said "Honey" in a tone that I thought something was wrong. When asked he said, "Your [I]hand [I]is smaller!" I smiled and said "I know". On the way in to the store we...

Sorry don't mean this to be a downer. Has anyone had to start an oral chemotherapy agent after their weight loss surgery? Haven't figured the private message thing out yet but will if you would prefer to respond that way. Thanks for any info. Kim

Liquid diet will get easier. I did the 14 days before as well but was able to do regular protein powder. I used Jay Robb whey protein mix...high protein, no sugar...tasted really good. I would add up your protein totals and check with your surgeon. Maybe suggest another protein shake option...

My hairdresser (once I told her I was worried about hair loss and why) suggested a new product by Redken called CAT extreme....Protein fortifier for hair that you spray on towel dried hair leave on for 3-5 min and then rinse. Just got it, figure it can't hurt....will let you know.

Yeah...I get those "head" cravings too. Come out of the blue. So far I've tried to find a compromise....if crave pizza, have pasta with marinara sauce....so far it helps.

For a "normal" BMI, I'd have to weigh 189lbs at the most. I picked mine based on my last weight I felt good at even if I carried a some extra weight. They say the max amount you can lose from this surgery is around 90lbs. If I can lose the max, I'd be very satisfied.

Thanks guys! :)

Other than my husband and doctor's office....this is the only place I feel comfortable sharing this but....I finally broke the 300lbs barrier! In over 6yrs of trying, I haven't been able to do that with diets, gyms, trainers, etc. I'm so thankful for this surgery and so glad I did it! Thank you...

Hi, I had the sleeve also. Had the same "icky" feeling when I first started soft foods. It does get better but at times I still experience it. Like fkrebs said it's usually comes from eating too fast. I also had problems with denser soft foods, such as a baked potato. I did better with instant...

Hi! Freezing here too! lol Having to wear fleece PJ's and socks to bed, with extra blankets. Complete opposite for me. Going to see endocrinologist to double check thyroid, even though levels were in "normal" range, my doctor said people feel better when TSH is 2 or less. I did wonder about it...

Coffee does okay but only having one cup a week. I thought the water problem would be temporary. My surgeon explained that the pH of the water was probably the issue the first couple of days post-op. (He compared it to pouring water on a cut or saline...the saline doesn't burn.) Juice and...
