I grind my own at whole foods. It's easy and tastes great. Plus it allows me to do a variety of nut butters. It is probably more expensive but you don't have to worry about what is in it!

I am a big fan of U-N-J-U-R-Y. First it is medical quality Protein and they guarantee that ingredients are China free. This is a big deal considering that it is a primary Protein source.
I mix chocolate splendor with skim milk and ice in my Ninja. I like to add bananas, Chke coffee Protein powder, Quest Peanut Butter powder or a variety of Torani sugar free syrups for a very flavorful shake. strawberry Sorbet is good mixed with crystal light lemonade or milk and bananas.
I also use the chewable opurity Vitamins

Stayed the same this week ????

No change this week but that's fine. I can't believe one year ago this week I was right in the middle of my two-week liquid diet! Wow! How time flies!!

I started my preop diet 1 year ago today. I couldn't be more thrilled with where I am today....mentally, emotionally and physically. I posted my story and pictures here.....

I have been eating 3 meals and two Snacks a day for the last year. It works very well for me. In my opinion, one of the keys to losing weight consistently is maintaining satiety for as long as possible. My goal is to last 3-4 hours by eating dense Protein at meal time. At almost a year post surgery I usually eat 4-5 ounces of Protein and a small amount of vegetable or fruit at meals. In between meals I usually snack to get to the next meal. It is usually additional protein, or fats and carbs that might be missing from my diet. When I exercise, I usually have carbs beforehand to give me the necessary energy, and follow with protein to repair and grow muscle.
I would follow what the program details are, they are there for a reason. But.. after a while you have to do what is right for you and your body. I currently eat about 1400 calories a day, over 100 grams of protein, I have to supplement meals with Snacks or Protein shakes to get the necessary nutrients that I need.

I lost a pound this week after being at the same weight for a few weeks! Good for the psyche!

I am not sure about the bruising but 20 ounces is not enough Water. Everyone talks about 64 ounces a day minimum for fluids. Fluids can be any liquid including Protein shakes. The primary reason for this is to avoid dehydration.
At ten months post surgery my average daily intake is about 80 ounces a day.
Early on my NUT gave me a good tip. When I was on liquids only she suggested 4 ounces of Water an hour on the even hours of the day until you meet your goal. Sometimes drinking in small quantities is better than staring at a large container that you have to drink.
