Congratulations and good for you. I am going on the 29th and would love for you to share your hospital experience with me. That is what scares me the most.

Rae, I have not weighed myself I am going to get staples out tomorrow and I will see from the doctor's scale if I have lost any? I Hope soooo. I am hanging in there although I might have to rethink the type of Protein shake I am using the taste gets worse every day. What are you using I am at this time using Egg Protein GNC brand.

Hi Rae, I am so glad to hear that you are doing well you have been on my mind. I have been staying at my mom's and just came home tonight. I had my 1 week appt with Dr. Gluck and I am down a total of 20 pounds since he first weighed me, I think I have lost 5 since the 11th. Even though I had laproscopic I have been in a lot of pain and he said he had to beat me up pretty bad, I believe him!!! Everyone else that had surgery last week is off of pain meds and I feel like a baby but I will not be in pain !!!! My liquid and protein intake is increasing every day and I know I will get this down pat!!! ~Jennifer

Down 21 lbs. WHOO HOO... after I gained 3 in the hospital. ( I'm guessing IV fluid ) Seems I have found some good protien other than shakes some ppl use. Cottage Cheese! check out those protien grams 13g I was dyin for some chocolate tho.. my friend told me I could have some sugar free fat free nestle quick powder in my skim milk.. OMG thats goood !!! Skim milk - 8g and quick is 1g LOL Shes post op as well a few months ahead of me so that Helps BIG TIME. Also she told me if you can eat a cracker get some easy cheese in a can. protien in that too. Tomorrow I tackle an egg. I just make sure to measure my intake by this shot glass that goes up to 4 oz. I only eat 1.5oz at a time.

Hey !!!! I'm down 21lbs!!!!!!! and lovin every minute of it!!!!

I have lost 11 pounds!!! I am getting so tired of the protein shakes. They leave a horrible after taste. I am at about 30 grams of protein a day. I feel incredible! I have since the first day. My staples are itching me to death, but they will be out in no time. Good luck on your continuing weight loss!

Boy do I envy you. I had my surgery the same day as you and got out of the hospital on the 15th. I can only eat such small amounts & have trouble getting much in. However, I have no problem with the protein shakes. Have you tried myoplex? It comes all pre-mixed & has about 6 flavors most of which I've liked.
