I personally went with the powder and added it to diet cocoa.
This is what worked for me.

Defeated and stupid
Is there some reason why we can't add salt to broths and the like? Haven't had surgery yet, so just wondering.
Hi SkinnyBonz38,
Not to put down anything DKor01 told you, but you should follow whatever plan your Dr set up for you. I don't have a coffee or tea restriction, I didn't drink coffee while I was on a ppi, but once that was done, coffee nirvana!
The whole resting metabolism might be nice information for you to have, but I'm guessing that a series of tests done by a Dr is the only way you're going to get any accurate results, plus those numbers will probably change when you start losing weight or exercising, so it'll probably be for informational purposes that will only be for the moment, not something to base your weight loss plan on.
I'd nix the nuts & seeds, they're slider foods & you'll likely eat too many & have too many calories on top of it, fruits should also be eaten sparingly while in weight loss mode. Protein bars are usually overblown candy bars & also tend to have a lot of calories. Best to get protein from dense protein rather than bars & shakes. You'll feel fuller longer & be more satiated. Mind you I'm only a little more than a year out.

Are you looking to get weight loss surgery? Most people on here are either pre op or post op. There is a non surgical weight loss forum, but I'm not sure how active it is.
There is no such thing as a good & fast diet. Did you gain the weight fast?, so losing it fast probably won't happen, at least not healthfully. There are however plenty of fad diets where you might lose weight fast, then gain it back even faster. This isn't the place for that.
Start with learning if wls is for you, do your research. Know that it isn't fast or easy. It's a lot of hard work & dedication, but for me it was totally worth it.
Most on here are on a protein forward lifestyle, not a diet. Diets end, lifestyles is a change for life. You have to decide what you want for yourself, a diet or a lifestyle change.

Well I am 3 weeks now and yesterday my taste buds completely changed. I lost five pounds over night, if that's even possible. I know am not as hungry and I just backed off food. I threw up three times and that was enough to push the food away. Half cup and I am done.

me too
I still am hungry a lot
my surgery was in January
I like the Priolesic suggestion, I am going to look into that
I've found that I like Knorr's loose chicken bouillon in the jar. It has better seasoning than the bland cubes. I'm nearly four months post op and still include this in my lunch most days.

Hi Kpowers, I also need to lose about 100 - 150 poundies myself. Dkor01 told me to do this: "Step 1 is find out what your Resting Metabolism burns, step 2 is decide on a healthy calorie deficit for you is. Step 3, don't eat sugars, or starches unless they are complex(Whole Fruit, Green Vegetables) try Spaghetti Squash with Meat Sauce to replace Noodles.
the key is to know how many calories you can eat, live and die by your protein shakes, because you will need them, no coffee, or tea other then crystal light, and drink your 64 oz of water daily, pre, and post surgery. it will be a little tough."
Also I'm trying:
a protein drink
a protein bar
a sensible meal
greek yogurt
a pear and tea
nuts and seeds
I love premier. I buy the vanilla and the chocolate. They have strawberry also. I find the chocolate and vanilla to be my fav's. The vanilla and even the chocolate you can put in a blender with ice and add diff SF syrups to make a variety of flavors. Only 160 cals for 30 grams a protein. 3 grams of fat, 4gms of total carbs and 1 gram of sugar. They can't be beat. Usually start my day out with one!
