I know everyone is busy this weekend..but this keeps me on track...so I will post my day.Have a great day! B-carbcountdown 8 oz choc/4 oz skim--18 oz protein Water..I drank 24 oz so far..that is good for me..plus the 12 oz of milk...that is 36 oz..a record this early in the day L-string cheese wrapped with deli buffalo chicken breast S-Momentum bar-12 g protein D-half of a burger--on a 1/4 of a bun...salad with light dressing More water---or maybe the fuzzy navel drink that I got as a sample...for more protein. Enjoy your weekend! Joanie

Good morning!!! I have a bad tummy ache so I have only had: B- Protein shake w/ CarbCountdown milk 37g. protein I just broke out the Crystal light. I am hoping to be able to drink mostly fluids today and maybe my tummy will feel better tomorrow. Enjoy the beautiful day. Chryssie

Chryssie, You are doing a great job! How are you feeling? I just want to share something I was told. Taking more than 30 g of protein at one meal is a waste, because your body cannot absorbed any more than that. I sometimes make a high protein drink and space it out to drink the entire morning, which I am thinking is ok. What has everyone else heard about this?? I am interested. Joanie

Yes I have heard the same however I figure it is only 7 grams over. It is really the only protein drink I like and and I am getting in plenty of protein throught out the rest of the day while still keeping my calories in a good range. I ran all this by my nutritionalist who specializes in WLS and she was fine with it. Chryssie

Chryssie, I am sorry..I didn't mean to sound like I was picking on you.. I am sure it was fine...Keep up the good work Hugs, Joanie

Joanie: No worries!!! I did not take it that way. I just happened to verify my protein intake with the nutritionalist on Friday. If she is happy then so am I. Now if the scale would MOVE faster I would be really happy. LOL Chryssie

I have found going over 60 g of protein and while keeping the calories and fat down have speeded my weight loss up this week. Not sure it will continue..but I will keep going with what I am doing and see if I can prove my theory. Slim pickings on the CT board..people seem to have lives this holiday weekend. LOL Joanie

Joanie, Just wanted to chime in, that I read protein after mixing breaks down in as little as 30 minutes( even refrigerated) Just thought you might want to keep it in mind. It's one of my concerns getting ready for surgery that I won't be able to drink that much and will have all this drink protein drink left over. Any thoughts anyone?? Robin
