5 Week Post op Doctor visit

Had my appointment yesterday and they said I've lost 22% of my excess weight! woo hoo!

They said that is a good number to be at. I got chewed out because I haven't been taking my vitamins regularly because of the nauseousness and taste but I got a patch with all the vitamins needed plus some.

Since surgery 9/19 I've lost 22lbs. I was hoping for 30lbs by the time I came to my 5 week post op appt but 22lbs is better than none.

Also going to try to get my protein drink another try which is Premier protein chocolate flavor, do you mix it half and half with coffee or 3/4 coffee and 1/4 shake? HELP!

That's great progress, keep up the good work.

There are tons of other protein drink options out there. Nashua nutrition has samples you can try. Experiment to find something that you like :)

For protein coffee, I like to make 4 cups of drip coffee, instant decaf, or 1 double shot espresso with 2 cups of water and add 1/4 - 1/3 of a protein shake to it. My favorite is the caramel premier protein. I also add it to strongly brewed earl grey and chai teas.

I tried it with chocolate premier protein and I almost spit it out.

Have you tried Core Power Protein Light in Chocolate? Its 20gm but it tastes like melted chocolate ice cream. I've had the regular and light but the light is not as strong and the best I've had IMO!
