Hi, I have way been MIA for a long time from this board, though lurk on the ohio board and sometimes the general message board. I continue to do well, feel well, I can't say my weight loss has stopped, but it has slowed considerably. I go for weeks/month without any change then decrease suddenly, which is fine with me, I try not to obscess about the weight. Don't feel like I probably get enough exercise, though did do a 5 mile walk Saturday for the March of Dimes WalkAmerica. I couldn't have done that before surgery!!! Glad to hear that everyone has their life back. Isn't it great? Take care-I think spring is FINALLY here!!! Chris
Very interesting, I read the same thing about how much protein we can absorb at one time. And i wondered about if taking too much at one time had anything to do with kidney problems. One thought I've had is that many, many times I went on my own diets and I'm sure I wasn't getting this much protein in, yet as far as I can tell I didn't do any damage to myself. I think that's one reason my dietician wants us to take the protein in food as soon as possible. At the very beginning of this weight loss journey I suddenly remembered about how people had died on some liquid type high protein diets ( this was quite a few years ago and there was a big media hype at the time). but of course I'm thinking of this when I'm eating so very little but taking in high protein liquid drinks! Slightly paranoid I know, At this stage I'm not at all worried about it. Usually getting in my protein with food and I know most dieticians say more, but mine says 50 grams of protein/day is enough Couldn't possibly get the protein in without some sort of supplement if it was more. Thanks for the info Amy. Barbara
