Dawn

I just moved and haven't been able to see a PCM yet to get a referral for anyone so I have no professional to talk to It didn't sound like it was right but you never know! LOL Thanks everyone!

It's been a crappy morning It's already 1140 and I'm just having "breakfast"! LOL B - coffee L - Protein shake (was supposed to be breakfast) D - Fish V - at night W - none yet E - is you count stress as exercise I have it covered! LOL

A group for WLS paients on FB posted about how if you let a Protein drink sit it will lose it's protein content. Has anyone heard of this? I make my drink (protein powder/milk/ice) at 0520 am and it sits in a cooler wrapped in an ice pack until usually 9am when I'm ready for Breakfast. It then takes me about 30 mins to drink it. Am I really loosing protein by doing this? I'm not sure how else I can work it since I only like them mixed in the blender and I leave my house at 535am and I just can't stomach it that early in the morning (I tried)! LOL

Hoping for a Good day since it's going to LONG for me! 5 Months Post-op B - Protein shake and coffee L - Sausage bites and cheese crackers D - Thinking a burger (no bun or anything) since I have 1 1/2 hour between meetings and my drive "home" is that long!

WOOHOO!!! It's a Great feeling to know you are "only" overweight now!!! Now just keep doing what you're doing and your clothes will be TOO big for you before you know it! I've been wearing 16s for a few months now and all of a sudden they are all too big and I bought a pair of 14s last night!!!

I am currently staying in NOVA, at Ft. Belvoir but I am buying a house in Maryland by Ft. Meade! I had my surgery in NY at the Army Hospital at West Point! almost 5 months out and doing FANTASTIC!

WOOHOO!!! What a FANTASIC NSV!!!!

That is GREAT!!!!

At that time I was around 600! Now at 4-5 months out I'm around 900-1100!

After VSG you will still find food enjoyable and you can still have good meals! It will take a little while before you are eating "real" food again but once you are it's still good! In that case I would have done the burger with no bun and ate 1/2 of it and if you wanted the salad or a veggie then have it! I personally haven't ate salad yet just because I'm still so focused on my protein because it really does help my scale move! I have burgers a lot (esp. when we go out, it's easy) but I just don't eat the bun so that I'm getting all protein! It is a BIG adjustment it you will find your "nitch"!!
