  • Keep up the great work! It has been 5 weeks since my surgery and I also can't stand sweets, even my protein shakes are very sweet. It is amazing how much your cravings change...I used to crave sweets, now I crave a nice green salad and a burger with lettuce and tomato. Of course I am not there yet. I completely understand what you mean.

  • They told me it would be a big change and they were right!

  • by the way, I can't stand sweets myself either. Since you like coffee, I can't do without it myself, I've found that adding a teaspoon of espresso ground coffee to vanilla or chocolate shakes tempers the sweetness much. Plain coco also works. Been doing protein supplements for years here:)

  • I will have to give it a shot - thanks for the tip!

  • have you tried soft tofu in soup? Very high in protein.

  • I have it in miso soup, which I Love!

  • I know this was posted months ago - But I feel like I am where you are here in this video..Emotional Wreck is a nice way to put it... I have me a mess... But now im just trying to figure out how to get my energy back... I feel so drained, but I am trying to get in my fluids.. and I never make it to getting in my protein. So I am going to do my best to get more protein in. All I want to do is go swimming - I think Im going to get some protein in and try it.

    Thanks for your vids! Your awesome.

  • 25lbs in 3 weeks is great! Good luck getting back to work and thank you for sharing with us!!

  • thanks for sharing your experiences and struggles. For those of us considering WLS, it's a huge help!

  • I probably should not be having half the stuff I eat. I certainly do my share of barfing. I have yet to figure out what it is my little pouch is looking for since my tastes have changed so much. Trial and error :)

  • Yay for your terrific loss! You look great. Emotional wreck is putting it nicely:) LOL!! I hear ya!

    Chew, chew, chew, sip, sip, sip. Haha.

    My tastes didn't change but my cravings did. Would kill for a salad and turn my nose up at sweets and fatty stuff. Nice I guess.

    Where did you get the hydracoach (?sp).

    Wow I wish I was on your plan. I can't even have half your stuff yet:(
