I need help ASAP with to things PROTEIN & CRAVINGS
Hi everyone, My name is Matt Maier and I had open GBP August 31st so I am just over 2 months post op. I had my surgery in Louisville, KY. I have been here a couple of times but I have some issuses that I need some assistance with. I know that I am supposed to get 60 grams of protein but I am just having one hell of a hard time getting it in. I tried drinking the shakes and I can get about 1/2 to 2/3rds down and then I am done. So I can't even think drinking the second one. One of the guys at my support group recommended the isppure water from GNC and I love the idea of it but I can't get it down. I was thinking about putting some sweet and low and see if that would help. I know that if I get all my protein and vitiams in that weill kick my weight loss into gear but I am just having a hard time. ANY IDEAS
Let me know if I am crazy for thinking this but I cannot stop thinking about food. I mean I am not even ashamed to say that I miss eating and I miss food ALOT. Does this ever go away or is this just something that I am going to have to live with?
Thanks for any thoughts and insight

Dang, Cards .. just checked out your profile .. you're my new hero! (sorry Scott) Have you ever thought about being a speaker for OH at events,, along with Ramon (Big Dawg) and Bo???
and ... from my old hometown no less (working at Mexican Villa packed on I don't know how many pounds while I was in college!) ... I remember as a kid my mom taking me to St. Louis almost every summer for a Cardinals baseball game .. ::sigh::
Have you had any PS, or just got all built up with weights and stuff? Wish I could get disciplined enough to do it .. &:-/)
Speaking of which, I really wish some of these gyms had an exercise class specifically designed for WLS patients (and preferably led by one) .. but I have yet to find one that does .. &:-(...
