I AM BACK!!!
Oh what a long and strange and sometimes Yucky adventure I've been on! On Jan 3rd I made the trip to St Louis to get my class with the Dr and nutritionist and at that time they weighed me at 286! Yesterday on thier scales I was at 267! So since then I have lost 19. Today on my scale I was down to 263 so I'm not sure they are together.
My scale is set with my local Dr's office so I think I will just leave it alone. Ok, I need the coffee protien recipe. I've got to start trying some new things. NOTHING IS AGREEING WITH ME!
I am getting in about 30 oz of fluid a day and about 25-30 grams of protien and that is a real struggle cause nothing tastes good! All you that have bee thru this know what I mean!
OK Lillie, I am waiting to see you on here. Lillie is my friend and litter mate from surgery at DePaul. You all are going to love her. She is one of the sweetest people I have ever met. I cant wait to get her on here and posting with all of us silly sisters.
I cant wait to hear from everyone and know how you are doing.
Ra'chelle's temporary custody hearing is on the 21st...please pray diligently for the court to see her side and give Christian to her now, instead of waiting for the actual custody court date. LOVE YOU ALL AND THANKS FOR ALL THE PRAYERS!!! Sugar
Hello Splenda aka Sugar.....
Congrats on the weight loss so far!! I am so sorry that you felt so yucky afterwards, I did too-I got dehydrated-so just make sure you dont do that-oh, thats terrible. I know what you mean about nothing tasting good-I wanted to get sick each time something was in front of me for awhile-but it all gets better. We are praying for you, for a quick recovery and I hope you are feeling better very soon. Love ya, Janet
Sweet 'n Low,
So glad you're home and hope you'll soon be back in fighting trim. The coffee I do I got from Claudette. I make a scanty strong cup of Folgers Decaf crystals, stir in 6 oz of warm/hot milk, 1 or 2 tsp of sf hot chocolate mix, some SF DiVinci syrup (caramel and Kalhua are the only ones I have) and then mix some vanilla protein with warm water and stir it into the coffee mixture. I don't make it a huge amount, I just don't like to have to keep sipping on it forever. I like it to stay warm but after you put the protein in you can't nuke it because the protein will clump. Hope this helps you. Right now I'm drinking the grape flavored protein from Healthy Weight Loss grocery. I got tired of the coffee but I'll go back to it I'm sure.
Keep posting to let us know how you are feeling. Don't worry about nothing tasting too good, after my surgery it was a struggle to get anything to taste right to me but slowly things started tasting OK again. The only thing I eat consistently that I don't get tired of is cottage cheese and SF applesauce. Otherwise I'm not too interested.
Hugs and loveys to you and I'll be praying for your DD and DGS.

Sugar,
I found a protien drink I can handle finally. The brand is NECTAR,it comes in lots of flavors that are good.I havetried the apple and lemon tea -both good.It doesn't have that protien taste .It's 23 grams of protien per scoop.I struggle with my getting my fluid in too but when I get them all ,I feel so much better.Please dont let yourself get dehydrated.I was dehydrated in the hospital and it made my first 2 days after surgery really rough. I even take sips of water in the middle of the night if I wake up.
When I was still on liquids nothing tasted good but popcycles(sugar free).Broth tasted greasy to me for some reason and jello just wasn't good to me either.It will get better.
I am happy you are on the losers bench.
Take care,
Dannielle
