I guess I'm lucky... My surgeons office sells Vitamin supplements, Protein drinks, bars, snack, oatmeal, Soups, etc. all with 15 or more grams of protein per serving! Sent from my iPhone using RNYTalk HW 272 DOS 253 RNY Date 12/3/12

Walk, walk, walk. I didn't start passing gas until like day 4.

It's too expensive at GNC $64 for a case. My surgeons office sells them for $40 a case.

I fret all about my walk off the pounds dvds! Thanks for the reminder, I'm gonna pull them out!!!!

I went to the gym today for the 1st time post op. did 30 minutes on the treadmill. It's getting too cold outside for me to walk outdoors. Sent from my iPhone using RNYTalk HW 272 DOS 253 RNY Date 12/3/12

I also am required to do 90 grams per day. Increasing your intake should help your weight loss speed up some. Sent from my iPhone using RNYTalk HW 272 DOS 253 RNY Date 12/3/12

My nutritionist says we can absorb 30 grams at once Sent from my iPhone using RNYTalk HW 272 DOS 253 RNY Date 12/3/12

So I bought 2 bottles of isopure in different flavors. I tried passion fruit today. While I have to say it wasn't the best taste in the world, I can tolerate it. Especially to get 40 grams in while on puréed foods. I drank half in the morning & having the other half now so my body can absorb all 40 grams. I have to do 90 grams a day, which I've been struggling with. Had a stall in weight loss last week, so I must get to my 90 grams daily. I don't see it being a problem once I'm able to eat 3-4 ounces of food per sitting. Sent from my iPhone using RNYTalk HW 272 DOS 253 RNY Date 12/3/12

I bought the Danskins yoga pants & zip up jackets from Walmart. They have drawstring waistbands.

Congrats & good luck!!!

Hope you had a successful surgery! I had to do the Optifast for 2 weeks too & was so proud I didn't cheat either! A nurse at my surgeons office gave me the encouragement I needed when she told me they had opened a few people up & could tell they didn't stick to the diet, so they didn't do the surgery because their liver was too fatty. I said to myself oh no that won't be me! Sent from my iPhone using RNYTalk HW 272 DOS 253 RNY Date 12/3/12

I haven't had a drop of soda since 2 week pre-op. Don't want to get into those bad habits that put the wright on in the first place. Plus it's not good for the pouch. Sent from my iPhone using RNYTalk HW 272 DOS 253 RNY Date 12/3/12

I bought a pound of turkey from Boston market & puréed it with gravy. I then froze it in ice cube trays. I just pop them out and microwave them. They're excellent. The ice cube is 1 oz, so I eat 2 at a time. Very filling & 14 grams of Protein. Sent from my iPhone using RNYTalk HW 272 DOS 253 RNY Date 12/3/12

Thank you everyone. I bought 2 different ones today to try. I got fruit punch & alpine punch. I have been struggling to get all my Protein in each day as I need 90 grams. So I was hoping this would help if I drink half in the am & the other half in the evening. Today is the first day I got in all 90 grams & I didn't even drink the Isopure yet. I bought a pound of turkey from Boston market, puréed it with some gravy & froze it in ice cube trays. Popped 2 out at a time for 14 grams per meal along with 2 Protein shakes. Voila... There I have it... Goal met!!!!! Sent from my iPhone using RNYTalk HW 272 DOS 253 RNY Date 12/3/12
