I had my surgery 6/12/12! So right there with you. I started walking the day after surgery, By week two I was walking about 2 1/2 miles a day. I too wrote everything down that I ate. Getting in about 900-1000 a day. The weight was coming off super slow down a pound up half a pound. Total of like 6! Ugh Couldn't understand why? I was eating less working out more so why so little? So I tried a little experiment . Did opposite of what I had done last two weeks. Did not walk for three days, did arm weights ( light) kept on same calorie intake and have lost another 4 1/2 lbs! So my theory, I was working off every calorie I consumed. Leaving my body to go into the mode of hang on to what you got, because your not keeping it fueled appropriately. Not to mention just changing up routine to jolt body into another mode. So today back to walking and this is also the last day of liquids for me. Tomorrow will be interesting. Just not sure what sounds appetizing or "safe"! I'm so used to yogurt cottage cheese and muscle milk! So I am curious myself to see how week 4 will go. Hoping I continue to lose, I am happy with 2 A week. Just hope my theory was right!:-) Good luck. I am in need of a buddy and you seem to be in the same boat as me, Keep in touch!
I love the banana and chocolate flavors made by Bariatic Advantage. Both can have flavors added to them---like Sugar Free Chocolate mint Syrup in the chocolate and Peanut Butter to the banana.
The shakes are not as good to me made with Water. I use skim milk. They have 27grams of Protein in one 8 oz shake. Some of the best numbers on the market!!! I also use VitaBand. The Vitamin made by Bariatric Advantage. My surgeons office sells the products so it's easy to pick up during a visit! I know they cost more but I have compared them to some of the others--/ you get what you pay for. I take one Vitamin A day-chewable watermelon flavor--- 180 in a bottle. That's a 3 months supply.
I am a fanatic about the protein! I have always been told I have beautiful hair and I don't want that to change
