I had my surgery 2 years ago and was doing great until about 5 months ago. I have been eating bad foods and because of working long hours I have not been going to the gym. I just need a little inspiration or a kick in the butt to get back on track. I have gained about 13lbs in the past 3 months and was wondering if anyone out there is looking for a workout partner. I live in Silver Spring, MD and usually go to golds gym. if your interested let me know.
Also, has anyone else gone through this and if so how were you able to get back on track.
Thanks,
Wesley

There are other flavors like green tea metabolism and mango, peach and other flavors. I have tried them as well not too bad I jus****er them down a little bit. I only buy Walmart brand cause I don't like Crystal lite.
I posted a little advice about getting your fluid in daily on the other post.
I plan to have a little taste of everything, I will not deprive but when I say a tablespoon or a teaspoon of this and that that's exactly what I do. I am usually stuffed right away since the turkey for me is always a hassle unless it is super juicy and tender, Enjoy your Thanksgiving!

I always had trouble drinking water even from pre op.... I notice that if I have a water bottle that is room temp my pouch tolerates it better. When it's cold it makes me nauseous for some reason. I never like water much from before. Plus drinking room temp water helps with losing weight I heard. I don't know if that is real though. lol
I buy the flavored Walmart brand drinks to go and take a little pouch and add it to my bottle of water and I drink that a lot better. I get in about 100 fluid ouch a day if I do that. If it is plain water I am up to my head by the time I get to my 7th cup. lol
You can do this!

I remember being this early out and barely getting in 35 oz of fluids a day. I couldn't even get enough with protein. I am very proud of your progress.
As for protein shakes , drinks, bullets let me tell you all after surgery were just plain old nasty to me. I could not tolerate the flavor, smells etc.
One I did like a lot that I bought at GNC was 50 grand slam in a can. No preparing and really good cold. But quite pricey like $2.50 or so a can. 50 grams of protein in one can and I would drink half early in the day and the other half in the evening.
The one protein I found that I have liked and stayed with it for the past 5 years is called Body fortress whey protein. Found at Walmart and $15.00 for a jar of almost 2lbs. I like the vanilla best and chocolate the only way I drink it is by adding peanut butter to it. I love the vanilla with PB also, you can add fruit to it as well. The one thing I have noticed is that I do best on it when I mix it with water. The milk gets gassy so I avoid that. lol
Keep me posted on how you are doing and please do not hesitate to contact me if you ever have a question. Start a new thread on the forum or just email me at [email protected].
Wishing you nothing but the best!
