Yay! That's awesome girl! I am so glad things are going so well for you and you got some good advice :)

Take care :)

You are doing great!!  It's just funny how different docs and NUTS give different instructions.  My doc said to make sure I have a protein shake as one of my meals every day.  He doesn't think it's possible to get in all of the necessary protein without them.  He also doesn't want me to snack....eh, that one is hard for me to give up.  I try to have low-carb, protein-rich snacks, but can't seem to stop snacking.

As far as working out, I started out with walking.  I worked on walking faster and longer distances.  I eventually started working at the gym, using the machines to strengthen my arms, legs, abs and back.  Good luck!!

so what did he say that you can cut out your shake, thats not saying to cut it out and eat something. If you enjoy it as many dont after post op liquid stage then still have it.

I got sick of them and have just started after 12 weeks post op, I have flacseed with my shake, so thats also an option, do what you want , but stick to the nutrition guide
