Protein is the key

I weighed myself this morning 218 lbs, I have lost 25 lbs so far including the pre-op.

Was hungry again today, but I've noticed that when I do not have the protein shakes for snacks I get more hungry. P.S. Diet jello with a tsp. of fat free cool whip is my favorite evening snack.

I still have two weeks until my first fill.

I agree - I was not getting much protein, and was eating mashed potato's (bc they were safe to eat & easy to go down, and well so darn good) i was gaining weight. I am only 3 weeks and 3 days post surgery. Took out all carbs, except for fruit - up'd my protein and started losing weight w. in 3 days... Protein is SO SO important. Good Luck.
