I've been in a little stall for the last week or so at a pound away from 50. Just wanted to celebrate! My starting weight (July 15th) was 241, surgery weight (August 6th) was 227 & current weight is 191. 50 lbs gone in 3 months! I'm wearing size L/XL and 14/16 clothes and am so excited about shopping in regular size stores again. I feel good!

Wow! Just wow!

I use the Proti-diet hot chocolate from Bariatric Choice. It is DELICIOUS!! I have one every night. It satisfies my sweet tooth and for some reason Hot drinks fill me up more. 90 calories / 15 grams of protein!!!
It's also the perfect drink for cool fall and cold winter nights/mornings!

Health wise hot chocolate. Not cheap but it's what I have every morning. I mix it with Decaf coffee. 80 cal/15 g Protein. It come in other flavors too. Box is 7 packets.

It's my two month surgiversary today. I am so thrilled with my results so far (45 lbs including 3 weeks of pre-op dieting). I am still struggling to get my required 60 grams of Protein in without using shakes or bars. Would you mind sharing a typical daily menu that meets your protein goals? I have absolutely no regrets over this surgery and am only sad that I waited so long to have it.

I do 6 mini meals a day.
Some stand bys for me are
hot choc /decaf (15g)
2 light mozzarella string cheese (12g)
Chobani Lemon Greek Yogurt (15g)
Boars Head Ever-roast deli chicken 2 oz (13g)
Al Fresco chicken sausage (14g).
Morningstar Spicy Black Bean Burger (11g)
1 pouch tuna/1/4 c 1% cottage cheese (23g)
Gortons Simply Bake Tilapia (20g)
Unjury Protein Powder 1 scoop/8 oz skim milk (29g) and sometimes I add 2 T of PB2 which brings it to 34g (I only have a shake once or maybe twice a week now)
I still often have a Quest bar each day for one of my meals since my work schedule is crazy.
Each one of these standbys is 1 mini meal for me.
I don't have room for anything after eating it.
I don't eat them all on the same day but keep my cals under 900 for the day. I shoot for 90g a day.
