Need .02 from Erny's, Ds'ers and/or Distals....

Sooooo.....I am trying to ditch the nasty carbs and get my labs into a better place.  I am wanting a re-do of my abdominoplasty since I"ve got the squishy skin after post-revision loss....  My surgeon (also my boss...) wants me to be in the healthiest condition possible before he'll consider taking me into surgery.

So, my questions are.....

How many protein grams do you get daily?

Do you think you absorb protein from food?

Does it make a difference whether you have fats with your protein or not?  (i.e. do you absorb less if fat is with it? ...which may cause the oil slicks in the potty)

Have you had success improving crummy labs by upping protein?

Do you think that an Atkins style of eating will make me lose more weight?  (cuz I don't want to lose more; I'm trying to maintain)


And.....do any of you have a program with a recommended eating/lifestyle as a post-op?  Website with info?  Links?

LOL!  Sorry bout all the questions....I'm hoping for the perfect food/protein plan!!!

Hugggzzz!
