I do regret them because I am at a stall!! i've been stalled for 2 weeks now.. if I had not bindge ate.. I would be 8lbs lighter today!
But omg!! Nov 19th!! how exciting!@##!@#!@
you should come to the next WLS meeting in St Laurent. Its very helpful and motivating!
SO... I am 3 weeks out of surgery. I have lost a total of 30 lbs.. including the Opti 2 weeks.. :(
I haven't lost anything in 2 weeks! :( sad face again..

Tell me this is normal.. cause really this sucks!
Hi Everyone,
This is my month, but I need to be kicked back into gear. My motivation right now isn't very good. Those of you who know my story I'm sure can understand why. I feel like this really isn't going to happen. I was so determined before and now I just feel drained.
I was told I don't have to do the opti-fast but I shouldn't gain anymore weight which I haven't, but I can't say I haven't splurged either. Now I want to bring myself back into the mind frame I was one month ago before my previous surgery and I can't seem to. HELP HELP HELP!!! My dthate is set for Nov. 19!!
For those who don't know, I had surgery for the sleeve on Oct. 3rd but they closed me back up because of my super enlarged spleen. They rescheduled me. I did the whole opti-fast, I was in the operating room but when I woke up in recovery, I was told they didn't do my sleeve!!! Needless to say I was very sad.......
I'm in Mont-St-Hilaire, Quebec I don't know if all this will be good for you in the sticks LOL.
I order the isolate protein in the USA the company is Unjury google it. It takes 1.5 weeks to arrive and shipping is $18.85 flat for one pot or more is the same.
Unjury protein tastes good to me better than the Protein Engeneered from The Naturiste (mix of concentrate and Isolate) and there is a huge difference if we speak about the terrible Beneprotein (I'm not able to take that anymore, it disgusted me at the second time I ate it).
At costco you can buy Premier Protein milk shakes chocolat, 30 grams protein. The firsts weeks the chocolate could be hard for the stomach but you can have a couple of ounces until you get used. I tastes not bad and cool it's nice.
Cottage cheese 1% supermarket, take the one with the lowest calories and highest protein
Greec yogurt plain, the one with the highest amount of protein and less calories. I buy it at IGA brand Skotidakis, I haven't see it at Metro and I haven't been at the other supermarkets.
Chicken and vegetables broth. Jello without sugar. I buy Stevia at the natural food store to use in place of Splenda, if you buy it concentrate it becomes cheaper. I add vanilla or strawberry protein to jello and it makes a protein jello very good. Jello unflavored with yogourt and vanilla or chocolate protein makes awesome popsicles super proteinated.
Unjury sells something very good named cheese sauce, it has an excellent taste you can add that to the scramble eggs or make a sauce for vegetables when you can eat them.
All the best

I live in the sticks and havent found a place to shop for things yet. looking for protein powders, SF flavorings, jello, popsicle, soups and broths, and anything else you recommend. walmart has some stuff, but not much and not the brands that people seem to recommend.
Thanks! :) I was flattered for sure!
The ring is not being resized just yet! ;)
Thanks Ada! It felt great and weird! I rarely go out, and rarely without my husband! So this was a first! ;)
