week 5/22 post opers

Hey Morgan, I gave up on protein shakes cause the during and after taste was killing me. I finally found Unjury Vanilla that I could stomach. It actually tastes pretty good. I'm 20lbs. down and have been stuck since the 2 week mark. I'm tolerating everything I eat (beans, meat, rice, and so forth) (pureed of course). I start Jazzercise tomorrow and am very excited, hoping it will restart my weightloss. Take care and God Bless....Lynette Hall

I'm 3 weeks and I've lost 20 lbs. I've already had 1 5-day plateau and I think I'm starting another plateau because the scales haven't moved for several days. My energy level is starting to pick up a bit. It still feels like someone turns the switch off because one minute I'll have energy and the next it's gone! I've been able to tolerate most foods. I have found one food that I used to absolutely love and now I don't really like anymore....Taco Time's seasoned meat (taco salad, taco burgers, etc.) Yay.... I don't have a craving for it anymore!

Linda, I too am in the same boat. I have lost 21 pounds and actually gained back 7 of those pounds shortly after week two. This is my beginning of week three and I have not lost anything or gained any more, however, I have dropped one size in clothing and my rings and bracelets are swimming on me. I am losing the inches at this point. I too have increased energy but do feel low at certain times of the day or when I have not had enough protein intake. I am hoping my body is catching up to the shock I have put it into and now it is healing before it will move on again. Someone please tell me I get another jump start!!! 289/272/~130

I'm down 27lbs. I do Smoothie King and get whatever flavor and have them add Gladiator" protein to it=45 grams 20 oz. Delicious treat! Also Snickers has a good protein bar out that gives 26 grams of protein. Wal-mart sells them, check in pharmacy. They are rich so I cut it up in small squares and put it in a zip-lock and leave it on the counter. Nibble here and a nibble there!

Morgan, I can't tolerate protein either - not even the lemonade and iced tea Nectars!!! I am trying to get some in through yogurt, cheese and beans. I hope and pray that I fare better with protein bars when I move to solid foods. Good luck, sis! Hugs, Tracy

Hey girlie Im ordering the prostat syrp which gives 13 grm of protein for 1oz ill let you know how it goes. Lova ya, Morg
