1 month check in

Hello, August folks: I am one month post-op today, and I have lost 48 pounds. I am down two sizes, I had to throw away five bags of old, too big clothes, my diabetes is gone, i am on three medications instead of 14, and I am glad to be one month out. It was a hard month, and I've learned a lot about myself. I look in the mirror and wonder who is that? Everything is getting thinner, and look...I have skinny ankles and...are those my feet? LOL. Have a great weekend. elizabeth

CONGRATS!! So how are you getting your protein in being a vegetarian? Is it going well? I hope it continues as well for you. Dawn

Aloha all Its been 5 weeks for me today. I had the VG done by Dr. Cirangle. I have lost 33 pounds so far, but am not seeing it very much. I have probably went down 1 1/2 sizes. I am not exercising at all though and I am sure that would help. I just don't have enough energy I think because I am not eating enough protein. Food just doesn't feel good to eat anymore. I no I made the right choice to do this for myself but its a big adjustment to get used to. How is everyone else doing with there protein? I hate all of the shakes and drinks I have tried and don't want to spend another dime on the crap! I keep wasting money and can't stand to drink it. Help!
