Three Weeks Post Op

By Ready2BFit

· 484 views

Hello everyone. Just wanted to give a brief update. As of today, I am down a total of 28 pounds since I started but only 15 since my surgery three weeks ago. Unfortunately, I only on full liquid meals until my first fill on May 15th. Right now I am consuming 64 grams of protein a day which might be much but my bariactric coordinator want me to get in at least 60 grams once i get my fill. Of that 16 grams is milk (fat free) and 48 grams is whey protein and I consume about 500 calories a day and walk for 45 minutes a day when I feel like it. My sterile strip glue is just now pilling off and there are no scars...yeah!.

 

But I just wanted to stop in and see hello and let you all know that i am doing well! Thank you for your thoughts and prayers.

    15 pounds in 3 weeks!! That's awesome! An average loss of 10 lbs a month is awesome. Good for you! Keep up the great work! You can try protein smoothies from Jamba Juice that are awesome too. I also have used a strawberry protein powder blended with frozen fruit and water and it's pretty good -- I get the powder from GNC. I got to my goal in about 9 months and now under and maintaining. You will get there!
