Very Helpful

I have really enjoyed reading what everyone has to say on this message board. Knowing that everyone here is on the journey from the same month is very encouraging. I am normally one to stand back and not participate when it comes to writing online. My friends would not say that about me in person. I have lost 31 pounds so far. It is not as much as others, but I am happy about my progress. The fact that my too tight to wear pants before surgery are now about too big makes me grin. I have been trying to get my protein in with cheese, milk, and meat. Do you think that the protein from a drink or other foods really matters as long as you get the protein in daily?

congrats on ur weight loss. you lost as much as me and i had the surgery 2 months ago- so you're doing great!! anyway, my dr told me that i could just eat and that would be good enuf protein. he told me if i notice my hair coming out then i could get the protein drinks if i wanted but since that's not happening- not to bother.
