Weight loss or lack of loss
DS on 06/14/12
I am 340 lbs approx how much protein should I get a day ? also where do I buy protein coffees and Carb smart ice cream?
It doesn't matter how much you weigh - just focus on getting atleast 100g of protein per day. If you can do more then go for it! :)
You have to make the protein coffee, and there are multiple ways! I've seen people using the protein coffee creamer but I haven't tried it yet. Maybe I'll go get some since I love coffee! Here's a link to a post about Protein Coffee (different peoples recipes).

As for Carb Smart Icecream, you can get it at Walmart if you go there. :)

You're still a fairly new postop. I was miserable for nearly 4 months. I could barely eat more than a couple of bites without throwing up or feeling like something was stuck in my throat/chest. I was miserable and questioning my sanity for voluntarily putting myself through this. But every day it got easier and easier. I could drink water again. I could eat without feeling ill. I could eat more than a few spoonfuls. I began to enjoy eating again. Now I know getting the DS was the best decision I ever made. You'll feel that way too--soon. Try to eat MOIST protein. I would put gravy on my meat and it would go down so much easier. Hang in there. You are doing wonderfully with your weight loss. Hugs, Felicia
