Wow! what a journey this has been. this all started 8-8-12. six months of classes, 2 psyche evals,

31lbs gone... got this pre-surgery diet. um, high protein, zero starch. ok. I'm a vegetarian going on 6 yrs now. eat salmon or tuna occasionally. not much on pasta, bread, rice, etc. not big on dairy either. you think I would be a stick person. haha. weight loss has been slow (not a gym rat). I'm excited and terrified at the same time. trying to keep up the protein, and worried about losing my hair (heard the horror stories). supplements? protein shakes? juicing? doing them all... any input from all you advancers would be greatly appreciated... thanks.

Well, I can say this. The post op diet is so much easier, you don´t feel the hunger the same way and hunger is so easy to still with minimum intake. I couldn´t believe it, I´m 8 days post op and energy is high and hunger is low.

Work closely with your NUT to ensure you get the protein in!!
