Holly Go Lightly

CONGRATS!!! I am only 4 days post op and really can't wait to be where you are!! Keep up the good work!

Congrats to you .. I am 2 1/2 weeks post op. Can i ask you how are you getting all your protein and water in ,,, and how much are you getting a day??? I am struggling and would love some advice since you are having an awesome time....so glad to hear that...

i can so relate. i was 224 at my first doctor visit and after 2 1/2 weeks post op i reached that 199. It was great getting there. however it is ten days later and i am stalled right there. i know it will pass but boy do i look forward to the scale moving down once again!..

You are doing a great job.. keep up the great work!

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.
