Yes! Please keep me posted! Don't stress yourself out! You'll do fine!

I am still a week away from surgery... so, at this point, I'm feeling anxious. I'm glad to hear that your experience has been a good one. A loss of 17 pounds is fantastic in such a short time period! I know what you are saying about the protein shakes. They generally suck! I like Carnation Instant Breakfast Light Start and Bolthouse Farms Protein Plus Vanilla Bean shakes the best, but both have less protein (16 vs. 30) and approximately the same amount of calories. I've been drinking Premier Protein oreo flavor. It's tolerable. I'll let you know how I do. I hope your success continues!

I think your post is well worded but I skimmed through the other posts and could agree with all of them too, oy vey... I wish that tone and intent could be easily assessed online because I really feel that on OH most posters who take the time to respond are trying to be not only helpful, but honest from their experience and sometimes honestly isn't flowery. Yet I realize this issue is complicated. While it is possible to eat around any WLS, I feel like at 6 months it is likely a plateau and normal but I am only speaking from my experience and it could be so many other things that others have also mentioned. I hope the OP stays around OH and can learn from others and find the support in a way that inspires continued weight loss and personal growth.

Amazing transformation

Heyyy sorry I haven't been on here in awhile! My experience has been great! I hope you are doing well too! As of Friday I was 3 weeks post op. I weigh on Sunday's and as of this morning I'm down 17lbs! I've had no pain, haven't gotten sick and haven't had any foods disagree with me, yet! Lol I WILL say I'm getting burnt out on the protein shakes/drinks. Artificial protein in general actually I can taste it no matter how I try to hide it. And I just hate it. Which sucks cuz that's where I was getting my big boost to start the day. So I'm trying to figure that out.
how are you feeling??
