Christi, THAT is wonderful.

My surgery is Wednesday (19th) and I have been wondering what someone who is done healing and well on their way down eats. Would you mind posting a typical day in the life.......emphasis on what and when you eat.

really would appreciate it.

Wow..a typical day...here we go.

I try to eat something within the first hour I get up, so that is about 6am.

7am Premier Protein shake

Most of my Vitamins (except calcium)

7:30am 1 scrambled egg

pico de gallo

chredded cheese

9:30am Premier Protein Bar (1/2)

apple slices

12 (noon) salad with tomatoes and fresh mozerella and olive garden dressing (about 1 cup total)

2:30pm Premier Protein bar (1/2)

1/2 banana

5:30pm 2.6oz tuna package (or chicken)

sauted zucchini and squash (or green beans)

7:30pm premier Protein Shake

I emphasize getting in 100+ grams of Protein a day.

Also I walk 1-2 miles a day and work out on my bowflex 3 times a week (30 minutes each)

Thank you to everyone. I feel like I am walking on cloud 9 today. It is amazing. I cannot believe that I have gotten this far. I have NEVER been successful losing weight. I have about 43 pounds to go to get to my goal of 165. I am almost 5'9" so that will put my BMI just below 25. I hope I can make it. This group has been a huge part of my success and I want to thank you all for being there WITH me and FOR me every step of the way. It means a lot.

Thanks so much. I like how you get all that protein in. I use Premier shakes and bars.

how soon out were you able to eat like this, I'm thinking all that protein contributed to your success.

YOU are an inspiration!

Well at just under 5 months I hit 100 pounds lost and gone forever. I have not felt this good since high school. Only 8 more pounds til onederland. Wow!! I can't wrap my brain around it.

Wow! Congratulations! That is so fast and fantastic! I have a question for you. Did you lose weight quickly right after surgery? I have a similar amount to lose so I am curious about your journey. I am 2 weeks out and down only 12 pounds which seems so slow to me. Thanks for any feedback you have.

costco carries the Premier Protein shakes. 18 pack is $24.99. SAMs has them as well. 12 pack for $19.99. I think sams carries the bars too but unsure is the price. I use the pure Protein Bars. Walmart and target carries them.

I think I lost 30 pounds within a month or so. It is going really slow for me right now though. Hopefully it picks back up.
