I went to see the NUT this morning and it turns out I'm not taking the right Vitamins. All thou it says its a Multivitamin it's missing some of the nutrients.

I am 7 weeks out and she told me I should be getting all my Protein from solid food and to stop drinking the shakes. She gave me a meal plan that is so do-able.

She also recommends that if I can't finish my meals to try to eat it within an hour.

She also told me to stay away from oatmeal, and keep the carbs down. I should be eating about 70 gm of protein a day. The only time I should have a shake is at night and only if I didn't get in all my protein.

I am happy with this NUT as I've been seeing her since before I knew I was going to have the sleeve done.

BTW.. I tried the Jennie-o turkey patties that are seasoned and it contains 27 grams of protein. And they are yummy I wrapped it in lettuce.

Those of you still drinking Protein Shakes, what kind do you drink? I'm sick of EAS, don't like the taste of Unjury and muscle milk is disgusting. My NUT said I have to drink Protein shakes for 3-9 months since there is no way to get 70-90 grams of protein in with just food. I just ordered a sample pack of nectar, I hope those taste good.

I am so over shakes! Instead of shakes, I enjoy a clear ready-to-drink. Try Cytosport whey isolate Protein Drink. It comes in watermelon, tropical & tangerine. 32 gr protein/bottle and only 1 carb. Typically I'll pour 1/2 into an empty bottle then fill both bottles with ice & Water to dilute. Now that I'm getting more & more protein from real food, I usually only drink 1 of the diluted bottles/day (16 gr protein). I'll sip on it and it also counts nicely towards my daily fluids.

I get them at the Vitamin Shoppe (if there's not one near you, you can order on-line - less expensive from Vitamin Shoppe than directly from Cytosport!).

Thanks for all the responses. I wish I could get all my Protein in without the shakes. Maybe I could just live on string cheese.< /p>

I finally broke my stall. I had been stuck at 25 pounds lost for about 2 weeks. Very frustrating. Well the past few days I have been losing a pound a day. I didn't change anything just kept following the rules. I guess my body finally desided to cooperate. Good luck.
