To be honest, which where I'm at and how I'm progressing, I have not concentrated on Protein at all. I have just been doing Atkins like eating. I got so damn tired of Protein shakes, so now I get what I need from the healthy fats.

I'm pretty sure that's normal.

This is very normal at this stage - you're enjoying the restriction you paid for. I am at 4 months and some days I can eat more than others and some foods I still struggle with (I don't do well with shrimp, but chicken goes down well). Unfortunately the carbs slide better for me so I just try to make good carb choices. I think it sounds like you are right on schedule.

Question, I am 6 weeks out, have lost 45 lbs and now I'm under 200. I still can barely tolerate solid foods. I can only have about 2 grilled shrimp. I do better on soft foods like refried Beans or applesauce. Any one hear about this being a problem?

I forgot to mention Fairlife milk! I love milk and it's the only kind I drink now. It has less sugar and more Protein than other milk.

Have you tried Powerade zero instead? I carry my yeti everywhere I go.

Moose, I lost exactly 17lbs in 1 week too. In four weeks I'm down 34lbs! When I was 1 week out I was drinking Water, Powerade zero, Jello, Popsicles, chicken broth, gumbo juice. In this stage it seems like you can get more down than the size of your stomach. Then i started pureeing egg salad, or gumbo with a little meat. The thing I tried to do, and still do is to remember what the size of your stomach looks like. Look up a bogie if your not sure. Once you start progressing to thicker foods this will be more important. My daily meal plan is now a small or medium smoothie king shake gladiator, no carbs, with Peanut Butter in the morning. Water the rest of the day. For supper I never eat more than 6 to 8 bites. I had 4 grilled shrimp the other night. Last night I had refried Beans. I do not eat carbs at all except Beans. For a while I had head hunger, but now I have to make myself eat. I will not eat carbs! I am losing any where from 3/4 lb to 1.5lb per day.

Yes sir just got cleared this week and paid in full yesterday Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using the BariatricPal App

I slept practically the whole time. The second day is the worst. I took too much pain medication at one time and threw it up. Since then I haven't taken any.

Today is so much better than yesterday. The difference one day makes is huge! I walked around the block and went shopping with my wife. Time to rest a little now.

Yes. I still haven't gotten mine though...

That doesn't include the charges for reading of the EKG and the chest xray, but that is 50% off too.
