Topic: RE: Protein question
Dear Melissa,
I had my surgery the same day as you and I am doing well in the protein dept and have not lost any hair either. Also, I have a lot of energy and have all along. I attribute it to the fact that I never used the protein drinks! I never could stand them and my WLS program people said I didn't have to drink them as long as I eat mostly protein. So, I usually have protein first at every meal and protein for snacks. I eat oatmeal made with milk for breakfast, cheese and beef jerky for snacks, yogurt, sliced deli turkey, proten bread that I get from Trader Joe's, meat and veggies for dinner. I try to eat as "normal" as I can. If you take your time and chew, chew, chew, there is plenty of protein in a 3 oz piece of pork, beef or poultry and it is high quality protein that your body absorbs. At this stage, most of us should be able to eat regular food as long as we eat it slowly and chew well. Good luck!

Topic: RE: 3 MONTHS~~MINUS 50LBS
I agree with all of you . I had my Surgey on 12/20 and I am down 56 pounds. I do wonder however if I would be furter along if I had not stopped exercising. I found though once I stopped exercising that I was losing faster. Anyone else experience that?
Congratulation to you all and yes I second the fact that for us the surgery truly is a gift.

Melissa,
I use the strawberry sorbet from Unjury. I really like the taste, compared to other protein drinks and it mixes well.
Topic: RE: Protein question
As you may have read my Wednesday Doctor visit said I was eating too much liquid and soft food. But, always a but. I was getting way pass the protien I needed. So afraid of being bald.
I am using from GNC Designer Whey Protien Natural (unflavored). I make a protien shake first thing in the morning around 6:30. It has 18 grams per level scope. I put a heaping scope so I figure thats around 21 grams plus 8 grams from the milk. So I start the day ahead of the game. 31 left to go I was getting that all over the place.
I don't know whats going to happen now since I have to eat more meat. I did that Wed, Thur and this morning I had dropped two pounds. I am not sure I got enough protein because I ate WAY less than what I was eating on soft foods. I guess the doctor does know best. My doctor wants me off of the shakes also. I don't think I can do that. 6:30 in the morning I am not cooking bacon and eggs or any thing else.
Morning shake
heaping scope of Designer Whey
cup of milk
1 teaspoon instant coffee decaf
1 1/2 teaspoon cocoa powder (plain powder used for baking)
3 ice cubes
