Prepared protein shakes are handy for on the go. I got Premier Protein from Costco.

Kudos for being so strict. My NUT believes in more balance. I'm allowed 2 multigrain servings a day and 2 fruit servings a day plus 3 healthy fats (olive oil, nuts, nut butters, avocado).

Not a shake, but I love Unjury's chicken broth. 21 or 27 grams of protein a package. I'm so over sweet protein shakes. Height: 5'0" Weight for WLS consultation: 216 lbs. Surgery date: 2/13/17 Goal: -71 lbs for healthy BMI (about 145 lbs). Current weight: 185.2 My profile picture is not me. It's my "FITspiration" body.

If I drank my whole bottle of protein water, that would give me 40g of protein. But my NUT last time I saw her told me to only try drinking half a bottle each day. She really wants me to try getting in most of my protein through food. I eat yogurt every morning for breakfast, but that’s it. I don't know what to eat with it. I'm going to ask my NUT for suggestions when I see her next week. I don't like the texture of cottage cheese. I usually eat 3 times a day (every 4 hours) but I think I can stretch that out to 4 for now.

Binging is always a bad idea. As is thinking you will never eat certain things again. There are some healthier items you can have at fast food places or eating in much smaller quantities. Some people have a burger without the bun. Or chili at Wendy's. Or grilled nuggets at Chick Fil A.

I made myself a list (4 restaurants) for my fiancé and I to go to one last time. I would stay away from fast food though..

That's tricky, but I think I would go ahead with surgery and have a good talk with her about how you wished it hadn't come to that.... Use your surgery as a springboard to change the eating habits for the whole family and hopefully help her avoid obesity down the road.

I'm sure there is an explanation. I have not changed anything. Still working out, walking, same diet. It has be Water weight or something. I am not getting discouraged. I'm at 14 weeks and very happy with my results so far.

Thank you for the hope . I'm on day 3 and can't see the light

My hubs was 12/21 and I was 1/9. We could have easily done it at the same time (and we have 4 kids). It was hard not being on the same page food wise for the first few weeks but now we are past that hurdle. We have both lost about 70 lbs since starting our pre op diets. It's been a blessing. I just did a 10 mile fairly difficult hike on Friday. Def couldn't have done that 70 lbs ago.
