I have to do this even though I know it's so late in the day and you've all done it already. It helps me to think and write down what I've eaten during the day. Today was a bad day for me! So here goes; B- Protein Drink S- One half a ham sandwich, couldn't even come close to eating the bread! L- The other half. S- A mini-bran muffin! Oh it had to have lots of fat, it tasted sooooo good! Late Snack- A mini bag on M&M's!! D- Roast, Zuchinni and Carrots (Left over pot roast) I didn't measure but know I didn't eat too much. Vit.- Yes Water- Yes Exercise-

I'm definately getting the waddle. It's especially pronounced after a hard workout. I am hoping the jaw exercises I do will help. Oh well. Ben

Thank you all for you words of wisdom!! I have been trying to get up and walk around every so often at work so I don't get too stiff. I will try the when I get home tonight. I plan on going back to the gym tomorrow since I have to work tonight. I know I need to work throught the pain but it hurts!! In response to Lori's question about sleeping (I am asked that by everyone who knows me by the way) I never sleep that much until usually one night each week I just crash and fall asleep at 10pm. That's really early for me. Thanks Ben for reminding me to stretch, I always forget to do that. Hope you have a great night, I'm on to job #2. Karen P.S. I love these little guys. Sorry if I went overboard. It's the little things in life that make me happy .

Sometimes when I am talking to someone who also had the surgery it seems as though our stomachs are having their own discussion. Too funny! As for protien, see if you can get some samples at your local health food store. I use optimum nutrition chocholate. I use it with soy milk, frozen banana, and splenda. Taste yummy. Good luck! Ben

Does anyone else have this problem? Seems like in the evenings, my stomach is constantly growling. Any ideas also on some good protein I can take? My surgery was the 6th of June, 06 and I know I'm not getting all my protein in. Taking ideas. Thanks, Barb
