Any other Minnesotans out there?
I am in MN as well. There are certain fair foods I have tried. They were mostly protein. That way you don’t have to miss going to the fair and go with a group if you need a taste just take a bite of a friends food. My nurse is all about not depriving yourself. I eat healthy 98% of the time!!

Depression and anxiety
That is crazy that they told you not to take them!! I had my surgery and the next day the hospital made sure I could take my mental health meds. I think you should reconsider staying on them!

You look different, did you lose weight?
People at my work didn't notice until I had dropped about 60lbs. I work from home and go into the office about once a month. The last two months I went in people really noticed! Everyone at work was super positive about it which is great.

This was tonight’s dinner. They are bacon wrapped chicken breasts stuffed with veggies and cheese. I started with half of one and of course couldn’t finish. It was so good though.

Let's compare!
I still drink 1 protein drink everyday! Without it I don't think I could get all my protein in. I had surgery 02/09/18. I drink roughly 64-80 ozs of fluid a day. It is equally split between powerade zero and water. The more water I drink it seems the better I feel and the more weight I lose..
