Frankenstorm



Recommended Posts

So I'm near DC and things aren't looking good. Both Lowes and Home Depot are sold out of generators. I am not looking forward to losing my food. They are telling us to prepare for 10 days without power. Anyone have any ideas for Protein? I'm not looking forward to drinking warm muscle milk.

Canned meats or meats in those foil packs (may be smaller serving sizes?). Nuts are good since you're 6 months out that should be OK.

Protein bars perhaps? I found a brand "Thick Thin" that are relatively lower in calories than many others. Their dark chocolate bar has 230 calories, 20 gr Protein and 26 g carbs (I don't really watch carbs too much).

Make instant sugar-free pudding with evaporated skim milk (from a can) and add some extra Protein powder or powdered skim milk.

There are clear fruit flavored protein ready-to-drinks that wouldn't be too bad at room temp. I drink a Cytosport whey Isolate Protein Drink daily. They come in watermelon, tropical and tangarine. One bottle has 32 gr protein and only 1 carb.

Good luck - hope you weather the storm safely!

Thanks everyone. I think I will get some canned chicken don't think I can do plain tuna without gagging. I do have a tub of nectar left. I had to stop drinking it because I drank so much right after surgery I got tired of it. And I think I will grab some bars. I just hope this storm isn't as bad as they are predicting.

What is nectar?

Protein powder by Syntrax. They are fruity flavors and you mix them in Water or crystal lite. I have the fruit punch one. Forgot the name of the flavor. It's blue. If you can get past the smell, it tastes really good. They sell sample packs too with all the flavors.

Soooo I got a generator!!! I got really lucky. I went to lowes at 6 am and they still didn't have any. This one lady called Home Depot and they had a few left they said come now! So I got one. I'm so glad I have gas so I can still cook and take hot showers.

This would be a good reason to have gas! I didn't think were any lol. Good luck! I'm near Louisville, KY. (Actually by henryville, IN where the tornado hit this year) and they're preparing US for wind damage and rain even. Good luck to you! Keep us posted!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
