Gosh that's awesome that you lost so easily I'm on the other end of spectrum and can't lose .... I think if you want to get in more Protein I would add a couple Protein shakes in during the day they are at least 20grams plus if you use milk another 10 and that counts as your liquid also. I use the powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury Protein shake www.unjury.com the vanilla and chocolate are delish. I add a half of a banana and ice to my nija and it comes out like a shake. Good luck!

And last but not least:

12. You learn to NEVER trust a fart.

(Re-printed from my Surgeon's website)
1. Your co-worker heard a strange noise and doesn’t bat an eye…knowing it was your stomach.
Patients often ask me why their new pouch makes odd gurgling noises. It could be too big of bites or eating too quickly. It could also just be your stomach moving around and making noises for all to hear
2. You have a space heater under your desk in the middle of July.
It may be in part to losing some “insulation” but many postop wls patients are colder than they’ve ever been using more blankets at night and space heaters to keep warm.
3. Your alarm just went off for the third time today to remember your next Vitamin.< /b>
While bariatric Vitamins have become much more simpler in recent years, it still takes reminders to get in your vitamins. Your family might even hear the alarm and hand you your calcium!
4. Protein is always first on your mind at your meals – it might as well be plastered inside your forehead.
Protein…protein..where’s the protein? Protein is what fills you up and keeps you full! You get the most out of your surgery when you focus on lean and solid protein sources.
5. Your waitress keeps asking if the food is okay. And if you’re sure you don’t want a drink.
When you can only eat an ounce or so, the wait staff may think something is wrong with the food. And what do you mean you don’t want anything to drink??
6. Your pants are barely holding on but you’re still holding off to go shopping.
Just make sure you don’t carry a heavy object and walk up a flight of stairs. At least not around anyone
7. Speaking of shopping, you still go to the plus sized section first out of habit.
It’s hard to wrap your mind around your new body. Leave plenty of time and stay patient with yourself as you find out what size your body is. Take a good friend to be your “runner” and someone to talk it out with.
8. You get overjoyed at the release of a new Protein Bar flavor…or a sale on your favorite Protein Bars.< /strong>
Quest® has a new flavor?!?!??! Ahhhhh!!!!!!
9. You rejoice at the small things like crossing your legs or getting a pair of boots that zip up your calves.
Some things you’ll never take for granted again. It may seem like nothing to others, but to you it’s something big.
10. You use lingo like “wls”…”bariatric friendly”…”pouch”…”vsg”…
You gotta know the lingo to be in the club!
11. You smile as you think of how far you’ve come and get excited to think of where you’ll be soon.
Patients wonder why they didn’t have their surgery sooner.

Oh I hope to simply look good in a bathing suit period. I think it will require a lot of plastics for me. I have a lot of extra skin and right now can only dream of a bathing suit longer term.
The good news is I am actually dreaming about one, previously I was only focused on improved health. I already have that after only a short time so why not dream of seeing myself in a bathing suit or even a bikini!

Or better yet, I am looking forward to buying my undies and bras at Vicortorias secret! That is one of my goals!

I do hope everyone loves pancake. I know we can't have Aunt Jemima anymore, But I felt that its as close to the real thing. You will be amazed what the ingredients are.
High-Protein & Low-Carb pancakes for Fat Loss and Muscle Gain-Bodybuilding
Lose Weight and Gain Muscle Eating Protein PANCAKES. Low Fat Protein rich recipes with Victor Costa Muscle Building Low Fat Meals and Recipes Protein Pancakes Lose Weight and Get Cut Eating Pancakes.Muscle Building Nutrition with Victor Costa

You are going to love these pancakes. Now, they might not taste like Aunt Jemima's pancakes, but nevertheless, you are going to love them. These are nutritious and require no oil. This entire Breakfast as prepared is only 380 calories, 20 .25 grams of protein and costs $1.37. And, It's going to be the best thing you ate all week. This recipe makes 2 pancakes.
You will need:
Pam cooking spray
1 cup of quaker oats
1/2 cup of skim milk
1/4 cup of Egg Beaters
Simply mix all the ingredients in a blender for about 20 to 30 seconds. Then, spray your skillet with Pam cooking spray. Keep the flame on medium. When skillet is warm, add your healthy pancake batter onto the skillet. The batter won't really spread out so you can design the size of your pancake just by pouring. As soon as you see bubbles at the top of the pancake, it is ready to flip. Then, flip. The bottom will cook a bit slower so, keep peeking under to make sure it is cooking through, but not burning.
The second always comes out better than the first. Never spray the cooking spray onto the skillet while flame is on( really dangerous). Make sure you prepare skillet by spraying cooking spray before flame is on. Wow, Safety and Muscle Tips.
Then, add a slice of banana to the top with some Polaner All fruit Preserve. Yum.
Again, cost $1.37 for recipe as shown. 20.25 grams of protein and 380 calories.

As a result of my RNY Gastric Bypass Surgery, I have been taking large amounts of Citrical Calcium supplements. So this requirement might be worth discussion and review.
The following article looks at the effect of Calcium Supplements and the increased risks of heart attacks. http://acsh.org/2015/03/should-postmenopausal-women-take-calcium-supplements/
