Hello, I have a few questions about Chike, I have seen this on some of the posts I have read, okay, so how many of these Iced Coffee does someone drink in a day for their protein? I was reading the label and it has only 20 grams of protein per shake, and I know we need at least 30 grams a day, so will I need to drink 2 Chike Iced Coffees a day? Also, how do you guys prepare them? With water? milk? 1% 2% skim sorry I just have so many questions about this.. as I cannot drink 1 more Unjury shake,.. I so need something new!! Thank you for your help!

Hello,

Okay I am at 8 weeks out and I can only tolerate 1-2 TBLS of food, they say by 3 Months I should be able to eat 1/4 of a cup of food. At the rate I am going I honestly do not see that happening. I was just wondering if any one else went through this? And if so when were you able to eat more than 2 TBLS of food? I am not hungry in between meals, I drink my last sip 15-20 minutes before I eat and I have to wait 30 min after eating other wise I get that way over stuffed feeling and I feel blah. Other than that I feel wonderful, and I am so glad I had the SVG done. I had my surgery May 29th 2014. Thank You for reading this post!

Hey all, I am at week 7 1/2 and I am down 35 pounds! I am amazed at the fact that I am not hungry in between meals, I am still only able to eat 2 TBLS of food per meal, and boy let me tell you, if I go over I pay hell for it! I usually have to lay down for a few minutes for my stomach to settle down. You know what I find interesting? Is the fact that I cannot eat or tolerate chocolate!, as soon as I try a little bite of it I get nauseated right away.( I know I know) I am not even supposed to have chocolate, so I guess it's a good thing. Over all I am very pleased with my weight loss. I want to lose another 26 pounds and then I will see where I am at with everything. Have a great day all!

Okay, I have lost 28 pounds so far. I am so happy with myself, although now I need to start really pushing the exercise, as I can see the skin not tight, and the last thing that I want is a lot of hanging skin.I am really thinking about joining the gym, I want to get into spin class, Zumba and Yoga. Ok so I start my pureed foods on Thursday, I know I will be scared, thinking that the food will get stuck, or I am afraid to put food in my mouth in fear of gaining the weight back. I am so happy I can come here and just post every little thought that I have,, I definitely also want to use this site as my food journal that I see some ppl doing. Well folks, I am off to sleep. Thanks again for this website and for all of you who have been on here for years... hats off to you all.

Hi all, well I had my VSG on Thurdsay May29th. I am so happy with it. I am not hungry at all, I have been doing all of my liquids every 15 min as instructed. The pain is manageable, how ever I do still hurt, so I am taking my pain meds. I am amazed of how up and about I am, I thought for sure I was going to hurt really bad after.

I am giving this everything I have, because not the new me is ready to shine!! 

I am still having my 2 protein shakes a day along with my Lean Cuisine.. I go on Friday to pre-op physical.. I am so excited to see my weight loss.. I told myself I am only going to weigh myself 1 time a week.. I will not weigh myself daily, as that can seriously lead to some issues, as I want to stay positive and up beat, I do not want the number on the scale to define how I am doing on a day to day basis. I guess this may work for some. I know it will not work for me.

Well today is Monday May 19th, and today is the day that I started my 2 protein shakes and my Lean Cuisine I can honestly say I was hungry for food by the time I got to eat my LC. But all in all the day went really good. I am still so excited for my surgery day, one more day down 10 more to go! I have been looking at Levi's, just for my little goals, just to keep me focused and on track. I can't wait until I am in a size 7!! I do have to admit that I am not fond of the chocolate protein powder, I like the strawberry and vanilla cream the best! Well tomorrow I am going to weigh myself, praying that I am down 1 more pound. Wish me luck. Good night folks

Ok, this is going to be my personal journey from here on out, I need to get all of this anxiety/excitement in writing. I start my 10 days of liquids and protein shakes tomorrow. I am so happy knowing that I will finally be living my "new" happy "skinny" life as of May 29th. I have been looking at smaller clothes, and just picturing them on me, I guess I need that to keep me motivated. I know I will have bad moments, but keeping this blogging going for me will help me get through. I do have to admit that I have been experimenting with my protein shakes, and I actually like them. I am trying to put a time line in order for my weight loss, but I have to keep in mind that I will be healing for a couple of months along with learning how to live with my new tiny tummy, I guess that is how I am going to look at my new stomach, maybe that mental image will put my mind in the little food mode. I am feeling better knowing that I can come to a place and get answers from any of you. In which I am so grateful to any thing anyone can give to me. 

Today's date and time is May 18th 9:11pm

I am so excited my surgery is on the books for May 28th! I am having the sleeve done, I have 4 pounds to go for my pre-surgery weight. ( sorry guys, I love these little icons!)
