You're welcome. Just saw so many here going crazy with the "why aren't I losing enough weight" posts so I figured we needed it.

Topic: RE: I don't think I'm progressing like others

I just read your blog and one thing that stuck me was how little protein you are getting. The recommendations around here are a minimum of 90 grams a day.

Oh, and come join us on the lightweight board, link is in my signature. We are a mixture of all surgery types but at the lower end of the BMI scale (under 45 typically, most between 35-42).

It's my primary home here at OH.

that's what I thought, but He's suppose to be one of the best. ( he teaches other Dr.'s how to do the surgery) So I'm following his dietitian's advice...... I'd die if I were allergic to eggs! that's one of my favorite things to eat...... well it WAS one of my favorites, we'll see how I feel about them after Saturday! LOL

He has POTATOES ON NOW and eggs aren't on there til next week???? That makes no sense whatsoever. And if I couldn't eat scrambled I'd be SOL as I'm allergic to the real thing. I have to eat egg beaters and the ONLY way you can make those are scambled. LOL.

Thanks for the tips everyone.
My Dr. does not have eggs on my schedule til next week, and I think chicken is not for another week after that. So although I know a red potato is not the #1 choice, it's my #1 of the options I have been given by my dietician.
Along with clear & full liquids the only other items that I was told I could add to my diet right now are oatmeal, red potatoesand bananas. When week 4 starts (Sat for me) i can add lite fruit, no sugar added, soft cooked eggs, not even scrambled! and well cooked vegggies, week 5 is when I can add scrambled eggs and a few other things and week 6 I can add lean ground meats, turkey and I believe thats when i can add chicken and tyna.
So thats why i'm doing a few potatoes.
Again, thanks for all the advice!
