Surgery was a success with no complications. This is my first day post-op. Been up and walking. Some back and stomach pain yesterday already gone away today. About to drink my first two oz of water.

are you on full liquid?

I just want to share what I am using instead of rtd shakes.

Ok here is my math. I drank atkins advantage shakes which is 160 cal /15g protein per 11 oz. and after surgery I cannot handle to drink 4 of them a day. ( btw 4*160 = 640cal only on shakes )

so as soon as I can have greek yogurt. I start doing lassi. and I get my 60g protein per day in jus t2 cup which I can handle during the day without a problem.

I did the calculation:

1cup of yogurt 0%fat - 140 cal - 24g protein

1 scoop protein powder I use cookes and cream(Oh Yeah! Total Protein System) 210 cal 32g of protein 6g fat less then 2g sugar

1 cup of skim milk 90cal - 8g protein

So if I am doing it with skim milk I got 1 serving size 1 cup - 220 cal - 32 g protein and 3 g fat

If I am doing it with water it woudl be 1 service size 1 cup - 175 cal - 28g protein 3g fat

I usually drink by 1/2 cup and these 2 cups are good for me for the whole day. and I know that I have all my protein intake.

and instead of 640 cal on atkins shakes I got only 440cal.

Hello fellow September losers

It's been one week today. A small bump in the road (dehydrated) but weighed in today and I'm down 14 pounds since surgery day? Is this for real? Still on clear liquids with a protein shake daily.

How are my sister September 12-ers doing?

Justine - 14 lbs this is great!!!! I only lost 5lb per week. after surgery.
