Thanks for your feedback everyone.

I think I will go with long extending Protein shake for bed time and bar for my afternoon snack. The brand of extended Protein I use is Syntax Matrix.

Morning snack is either energy squares and recovery shake before and after run 3 days a week or eggs/turkey sausage on non running days.

Morning Breakfast (6am) is usually a Protein Shake and green veggie drink following an early morning dash on my treadmill.

I try and do a vigorous 1 mile hill run full out (7 mph) every morning at 5:30am when I wake on an empty stomach to wake me up before work. It leaves me with sweat pouring off my face, but really helps. This is like a quick jolt to start my day out right irregardless if it is a running day or not.

Geez, do you ever eat any food:)?

Yup, 5-6 x a day at 150 calories or so. Slowly increasing more as I study what it does to my weight. The hard part is when I get hungry in between meals sometimes (usually between 11-12). Have to grin and bear it. Drink my Water. Eventually it subsides or it is time to eat.

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

      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

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
