It will be two weeks tomorrow since I had my surgery. I am amazed at the changes that have taken place. In fact, I want to do the Snoopy dance because I am so grateful. As if this am, I weigh 204lbs unofficially. So, when I began four weeks ago I weighed 227lbs. I had two weeks of the Pre-Op diet and weighed 217. One week after surgery, while on the full liquid diet I weighed 211 pounds. Hopefully, at my two week visit on Tuesday(4 days away) I will be at 200 or (AHHH! Angels singing) One hundred and ninety-nine. Heavy sigh, it's been a few years since I was under 200 lbs. I believe it was 2005ish. I feel like I am getting my body back and I can move without being out of breath, slow and heavy or in pain. It's amazing!

I am having a hard time getting in all of the protein and water. The only thing I can say is I use Synrax Nectar and Matrix and add 1-1.5cups of FF milk and emersion blend it. So the numbers are 23gms of Nectar protein and 8-10gms of Milk protein = 31 to 33gms of protein for each drink. Also, I use Premier Protein from Costco/Walmart = 30gms. Now if you can get in another 10-20 gms from 1/4-1/3 of another shake you will be golden. In the mean time, I drink SF Arnold Palmers in the tubes, Crystal Light, water, SF popsicles, chicken broth from the packets in the ramen package. There have been many days when I haven't gotten all that I need in. One day, I just was fet up with the shakes and boycotted them. Yuck!! What I was told was that I can add more milk or water to it. If you do, you can add the extra on to your fluid intake. So, I watered it down and drank it will day. I just suggest you start early. Have one in the am, one at noon and one at night. In between, drink the clear liquids.
