6 weeks out and look out!
well it is official I am now 6 weeks out!!! i have been doing pretty good mostly getting all my protien in but struggle some days with fluids seems cold is not my friend i do better with warm beverages. Been hitting the pool lots and enjoying it even forcing myself when i dont want to go.
Had my follow up with the nurutionist and only thing is i need to drink less protien and eat more, but usually getting between 6-800 cal per day. my blood work was all very good so no concerns there. I was a bit drained this past week but had sick kids at home and was burning the candle at both ends. Took a sick day and napped off and on all afternoon. Having gone back to work only 3 weeks out has had its drawbacks but nothing i cant handle. I have a lay off coming at the end of March so I will push through. I am down 50lbs since starting opti fast and am excited to say I have met some goals already including being light enough to use my wii balance board and I am happy to report that last night i stood on it and it didn;t yell back to get off.
Well tomorrow i am heading sliding with the kids ,,,,,,, i have been on the sidelines all winter waiting for the okay to go down the hill and now I am good to go so watch out!! one good thing is my button wont constantly be poppoing on my snow pants like this time like last winter. I love having fun with my kids and have never let my size stop me so tomorrow will be a blast they will be fighting me to get thier turn on the hill
well that is my update!

You are still so early out, just a week behind me. How much protein were you getting from drinks? I just recently went back to 2 a day as I wanted to increase my protein closer to 80-90 to help heal and lose. The staff at Hamilton had no problem with that since I stilll eat protein from meat and eggs and fish 3 times a day albeit small portions. From everything I have read hear and on the main VSG board, don't worry about relying on protein drinks this early out. - just get your protein in. I was told a min of 60 but when I said I wanted to be 80-90 they were fine with this. They don't set an upper limit.
