Just had a cup of 3 bean meatless chili and I'm sure I ate it much too fast but it was DELICIOUS!! Oh my goodness!! Now all I need is a nap!

Just not motivated today...

Just wanted to say that I am absolutely loving this site and am grateful for all of the helpful posts and encouraging words. You guys are amazing!!!

OMG!!! Just realized I haven't taken my Calcium Citrate for 2 weeks!!!

Question: Has anybody seen my appetite? It's been missing for a week.

Question: Are you counting your protein shake toward your daily fluid intake?

Question: do you think it's possible to tak in too much protein?

Since having surgery do you find that everythng is either too salty or too sweet? My taste buds are on overdrive. It makes me not wanna eat anything!

So far I've had 40 oz of fluids and 37 grams of protein and it's not even lunch time! Yay me!!!

Surgery is on 9/20. Guess I'd better go ahead and buy my supples.

Thank God for new beginnings! I'm looking forward to what this day brings. Here's wishing everybody a Terrific Tuesday!

Thanks! Surgery isn't until 9/20 but I'd like to have everything in place.

This has been the longest day. I had my PAT today - EKG, blood work, met with the anesthesiologist, had blood work done and met with my surgeon. Calgon take me away!

Uh oh! I think I may have activated the carb gene. I went to Olive Garden this weekend with the girls. I ate a stuffed mushroom (bread crumbs and parmesain). Now I'm thinking of all kinds of carbs I would love to have right about now. Ummm... sourdough bread. Don't worry, I won't indulge.

Well VST family, I had my surgery on Tuesday. Praise God things are going so well. My family is so super duper supportive! Love, love, love them. I'll keep you updated on my progress.

Well...the heat is on. The scheduling coordinator just called and told me I need to be at the hospital at 5:45 tomorrow morning. I am sooo excited, nervous, anxious with just a twinge of being scared...just a twinge. But I am oh so ready for this!!!

When you did your protein shakes did you do 100% whey protein isolate? I'm trying to find a place to buy the protein shake mix. I know they have places on this site but I wanted to compare their prices with GNC or the Vitamin Shoppe. Everything seems to be a blend. I remember the nutritionist saying whey protein should be the very first ingredient.
