  1. Way to go on your weight loss ladies!

    I went back to work this week and I am doing well. I am getting in iver 60 oz of Water and 60-80 g of Protein every day at this point. I go for my follow up with my surgeon 10/15 and can't wait to move on to pureed foods. He actually suggest that we chew the food to the puree. Any who, I am excited to move on.

    I have already incorporated low fat cottage cheese into my diet this week. I chew it really well and think it is s healthier option for me calorie and protein wise over yogurt. I can't find yogurt that I like without all the extras that I don't need and I love the cottage cheese plain.

    What's on your plates? ( or cups?)


  2. Just saw the link to the online site. I will have to wait until I am ready to order several things so the shipping charges will be waved. Wish I could find locally.

    My local Whole Foods carries it. You could buy 1 pack and see if you like it before investing in a larger shipment online
    Hey, Thanks! I have one of those. I am going to give it a try when I reach the 30 day mark. ☺


  3. I am eating this Explore Asian Protein Pasta made from Beans as well. It is awesome. The garbonzo bean spaghetti tastes exactly like ... Wait for it...spaghetti. I can also testify that the fiber is for real. You will not be constipated if you eat this with some bolognese (meat) sauce. I use both the zucchini noodles and the explore Asian pasta with my meat sauce - it's protein veg and eating real food like a normal person all rolled into one. I have to admit that it tastes so good I am still a little skeptical but I can tell you that the fiber is for real.

    Where can you get this?


  4. Don't give up friend. Press on. I experienced a good bit of nausea my first few days and did not meet the recommended goals either. I couldn't tolerate Protein until day 5 or later.

    What worked for me was an ounce shot glass that I sipped from. In the beginning it took 5 sips to get one down per hour. The next day I went for two oz per hour., and increased from there. For me, once I could tolerate the liquid goal, I could tolerate the protein.

    My NUT and Dr were more concerned with liquids early on than protein.

  5. I have a desk job and I am currently 9 days post op. I will be going back to work on Monday which will be 11 days post op. I have been running errands, shopping and light walking. I feel that I could have gone back at 7 days post op.

    I agree that it is very individualized, and you will be able to tell around 5 days post op. I took off 2 weeks, but will go back on Monday.
