First weigh in with Jenny Craig

well I did it - I lost 3.8 lbs in a week- and only 10 more to go to meet my weight for surgery- I am so excited!!- I plan to hopefully go back to the Jenny program when I can start eating again- but I am so scared of being able to find the right protein shakes that I will be able to do after surgery- Some one said by unflavored protein and put in instant breakfast- is that good, and where would I buy it- GOSH I cant wait- NOT sure why I dont have a date to meet with the surgeon yet though- I still need to do my sleep test- but everything else has been done- wonder why....... :)

You can buy unflavored protein at www.unjury.com they even have sample size packets so you can try it in a smaller quantity first. Congrats on your weight loss! Hope this helps, ~Michelle

Deawn - I've tried lots of protein powders and like almost all of them. They taste a lot like instant breakfast. I've done Jenny Craig before and found most of their food to be very expensive and largely inedible. I think you'd be better off sampling the protein powders and getting the post op diet from your surgeon's nutritionist. If you can't follow that and want to go back to Jenny, by all means do, but you could probably save yourself a whole lot of money just using the protein powders. Linda

I did the Atkins diet before my surgery where I ate meat, chicken, cheese, etc., salad and fresh veggies (no more that 20 carbs) and I lost 10 lbs in 9 days. Just a thought if you wanted to try something different. I was very strict with it though. Good luck on your last 10 pounds.
