Little Update

Hi everybody,

Like I had mentioned in another post I wanted to give a wee little update on my weight loss journey. My surgery was on January 10th so this is a 2 month update.

As of today my total weight loss is 53 pounds... So within this total 22 was pre-op (Opti-Fast stage) and 31 has been post-op.
I also measured myself and have lost a total of 36.5 inches

I measured everything...neck, arms, legs, bust,etc.

I've been feeling pretty good so far and hopefully as I lose weight my knees will get better and I can start to excercise.

Take care all...
Hugs,
Ada

 Awesome Ada!

You're doing great!  Wondering...What are you eating now?

Elena

Hi Elena...thanks!

As for what I'm eating...not much...lol
I'll give you an example of my day...

breakfast: slice of toast with laughing cow reduced fat cheese and coffee (of course the coffee I drink wayyyyyyyyy after my toast) can't drink while you eat.

lunch: chicken with broccoli ( about 1/2 cup) chicken is dense so sometimes not easy going down. I noticed that it will go down easier at lunch rather than supper.

supper: so now I'm munching on more broccoli and have 1 cheese stick and will probably have a few crackers with maybe another laughing cow wedge, I know it was a "cheesy" kind of day...lol

So as you can tell I'm in no way getting all my proteins. So I've been searching for some specialty foods that are high in protein and good for wls patients. My nutritionist actually found a couple of companies and I actually just got back from buying some products.

One of the companies is called Ideal Protein and for those of you that had surgery at Sacre Coeur and used the Opti-Fast shakes when you bought them and picked them up you may have had a flyer inside and it was for Ideal Protein. So they sell these products.

I was actually very lucky that an esthetics salon a street away from me also sells them. The way they sell them is buy any 7 mix and match and the cost is $27.00.So for myself I was looking for more savory items.

Once I try them I'll let you know how they taste. The protein content is very good.

Bye for now,
Ada

Wow! Way to go. I'm very happy for you.

 Hey ladies 

I haven't had surgery yet. I am waiting for "the call" very impatiently the suspense is killing me!!!!! Hopefully by June if nothin else drastic happens with rockland md. 
Meanwile I have been searching wls proteins to eat after to try my best to stock up on high protien items
- great yougart (16g) you can add protine powder to it blend it in the blender as a base
You can add soya milk and drink it as a shake
You can freeze it for a cool snack this summer
Or buy a ice cream maker yumyum!!!

I bought a "lap top lunches" lunch box. Its a super
Greay way to control portion sizes And for me will be handy to bring to my I laws when we go for dinner cause I can't eat what they do :). Google laptop lunches you can buy the box at chapters and the website has tons if health chois recipes!!!

Another favorite is theworldaccordingtoeggface.com great great great blog about wls and tons of recipes!!!
