I had my VS surgery on Feb. 6 and I'm doing great, so far. I've lost 20 lbs! Just wondering, was should our fat intake be in a day? What is healthy? I know we need some fat in our diet? I'm still working on getting my protein intake up. I average about 60 grams a day. Hope to hear from you soon. Diane in Baton Rouge

I started protein today. This phase cant end fast enough. j

What brand are you drinking?  Are you adding anything to it?

Lynn, just got back from the Omega support group. I'm using the Unjury unflavored and I mix it with Crystal Light. ITS GROSS!! What else can I drink or there any such things as a chewable protein pills. 'cuz this aint cuttin it. Any suggestions???

I drink Isopure which is a bottled flavored drink you can purchase at a health food store such as GNC. It's a 20 oz bottle and contains 40 grams of protein. It takes me about 1/2 to 3/4 of a day to drink it. I also drink the Myoplex low carb protein shakes and Atkins shakes which are about 17 gms of protein. Just remember you want Whey Protein and make sure it is listed as one of the first few ingredients. I also use a powder protein that I get from GNC and its called Maximum Protein. One scoop to about 8 oz - 10 oz of water or milk is 22gms protein. Hope this helps. Diane

You need to order samples from vitalady.com  Then you will know what you like.   How many people go to the Omega support group?  Did you enjoy? I might go soon to one.  I have been wanting to go but I hate that they are on Mondays.

That a good idea!! There were around 20 people last nite. It was a good meeting. I'd love to meet you!! Right now I'm not working so I can guess it would be hard for you. J

Jan - one of my questions for the drs is do they recommend AG/PRO.  It is protein pill you get in the vitamin section.  I don't hear lots of people talk about it, but I know it exists.  Maybe you should inquire at your next appointment. ~C

Hey C, Good to met you last nite at the support group. It certainly is getting bigger. I would love a protein pill instead on drinking that crap. I'd rather drink non-protein drinks. I will ask about them at my meeting on Friday. Jan

I could post this on the min forum and see what kind of a response I get. J
