1 month out and how are you????

What is the name of the protein drink you found? where did you find it? how much does it cost?

It's called Sisu Body Elite Whey Isolate Powder (if any protein powder says *isolate* then it has more protein per serving than regular). I found it at a small health shop called The Nutrition House...I'm in Canada...but I'm sure that a health food shop near you would have something similar...it cost me $50 Cdn Tax included....which is for 33 scoops(servings).It is unsweetened and unflavoured. I love it... Linda

About 3 1/2 weeks out and down right at about 28 pounds...While my surgeon has a plan outlined - he does tell you to "move ahead" in it if you are feeling hungry...I am not hungry ever....But moved ahead anyway... 3 meals a day and 2 snacks a day are suppose to be what I eat...I am lucky if I eat 2 meals and the heck with a snack...(It would just come back up...) Eggs make my , do well with chicken, hamburger, tuna, shrimp, deli meats, string cheese (cheese in general), yogurt, and refried beans...Love refried beans - could live on those....(Can you say Taco Bell???) Still losing - no plateau. Lost 2 pounds past 2 days even though on my period....YEAH.

i'm doing great now. i had such a hard time with the drain that they left in after i left the hospital. it gave me so much pain. but it's been gone for almost two weeks. i'm at a plateau and have been for over a week. some may be due to my period, i don't know what else it could be, but it is sooooo frustrating. i have only lost 18 pounds so far, plut 10 pounds the week before surgery. so 28 in all. i don't feel as if it's enough. i know i'm not active enough, but i need the ok from my doctor before i can do alot. i don't get full easily, but i also don't eat very much. it's been an interesting road so far. good luck being a loser.

Hang in there.... It gets better.... I've hit a plateau and I've read of so many others and then I look at them down the road and their weightloss is fantastic. I decided not to look at the scale (only once a week).... Mind you, I made that decision yesterday I am at lunch right now eating a starfish Lunch to go. I only fixed 1/2 of it IF that and after 3 crackers I am pretty much full... WOW! I remember when one of these little things would have never been enough... It will be great soon
