One Month Post Op

Well its true its one month since surgery and I'm offically down 32 lbs. I feel great, I'm still throwing up, but i'm eating too fast. I have to slow it down. I still love curves. I'm working out twice a day. I bought the necter stuff and hate that too...I'm going with the protein bars...that's the only way I'm getting the protein in....I haven't found a protein drink that I can tolerate. Well I hope everyone is having a great day... Love to all Teri

How about carnation instant breakfast sugar free?

Hi susan, I haven't tried that, but when I checked it out in the store it only had like 9 grams of protein...so that isn't that good..I thought it should have like 20 grams... Teri

Teri: Congrats on your 1 month lose!!! 32 pounds, that is more than a pound a day!!! About the protien, I was thinking of going with Isopure, it is a shake, but it has 50 grams of protein in 1 serving!!! I just hope that I will be able to tolerate it!!! Kristin

Kristin, I have that one too...I don't like the taste of it...Hey we should bring all our protein drinks to the meeting and maybe switch or share or something.... Thanks... Teri

Congrats Teri on the one month anniversary!! Happy to hear that u lost 32 pounds already!! U R doing really well!! Shannon

Shannon, Thanks so much... Teri

We are all proud of you! CONGRATULATIONS Al P

gm terri, i am home, read my post..sort of says it all!! PLus I did get a cold yesterday while in the hospital..just what i need now!! I re read your post for a month out and I hope I am like you. I didn't realize exactly what you were saying...but to those of us who have just had it done, it sounds amazing!!! Pharmacist couldn't reach doc so told my hubby to tell me to take half of the dosage on the pain meds...I am sort of leary, and i will only use them if i really have to. I went to bed very early last night and had a wonderful night's rest. I didnt use the c pap i was giving myself a rest for one day or so. Good thing as I am congested today with a cold. As far a protein bar, I think you should go to GNC or some type of vitamin shop and check out the bars...they always have more than 9 10 to grams of protein. There are several out there with about 19 grams...I just forgot which ones they are. time for shower and sf hot chocolate and a little protein powder..See how this works.....myself........ carol b

Carol, I am glad you had a good night sleep. Sorry to hear you got a cold thou. I hope my surgery goes well. You kinda scared me but I do know its not a easy thing to go thru so I just hope for the best. Claudia
