4 Week Update!!!

Thanks Kim... it wasn't actually a check-up... I used my scale (which is accurate to the dr.'s)... I have my next check up at 6 weeks ... The protein I drink is called Sports Pharm (I think)... I get it at Costco... it has 27 grams of protein for one scoop and you only need 4 oz. of liquid to mix it.. but I use 8 oz of milk which adds to the protein making it 36 grams of protein.... so if I drink 2 of them I am over my protein for the day, that is why I usually only drink one and with my food I am usually around 70 grams..... Although today I attmepted some salmon.... I was so excited to have something different, but this was the first thing that didn't sit well and didn't stay It will be a long while before I attempt salmon again... LOL.... I waited a while and just had some peanut butter and saltines for dinner.... AT least the ground chicken did well yesteday, I can do a lot of different things with that.... Well, Thanks again Shawn M.

Shawn, You are doing fantastic 31 pounds.... cant wait to see what you've done in inches !!!! Keep up the good work !! Huggs & Blessings, Lori

Thanks Lori.... well I did my measurements... I measured my neck, bust, waist, hips, thighs and calves... I have lost a total of 19-1/4 inches already... Woooo Hoooo!!!!!! Shawn M.

Way to go Shawn. I am in awe of your ease for protein and liquids. It's been 2 weeks post op, and I still can't reach the goals. I haven't tried any protein powder yet. That will be the next thing I try if I can't get it all in. Keep up the good work! Peg G.

Thanks Peg. Shawn M.

Good job Shawn! Keep up the good job, and wow 31lbs in 4 weeks is great from what I hear, I am so proud of us all. I stalled as well and think that I am still in a stall, but I am going to keep my chin up and keep on going. Chrisy

Thanks Chrisy. It has actually been a lot easier than I thought it was going to be. It is still tough many days and I feel like eating is such a job now, but it is still easier than what I was expecting. Thanks again. Shawn M.
