What protein shake do you use? Also, can you share your calorie, carb and protein gram intake per day! Thanks!

Thanks for posting this.

I love MFP! I am Skinny_Jeans_Soon. Send me a friend request, our support group is amazing! 

I haven't been able to find Turkey Jerky. Where do you get yours?

How many oz of drink did it make. That sounds yummy. I have been looking for a good coffee protein mix. I have unjury protein powder and the atkins ready made shake and the hazelnut syrup. I wonder if it would taste good too. How many oz of coffee? Thanks.

I just went from the full liquids stage to full food and have loved every minute of it...liquids were brutal.

I eat mostly shrimp, fish, chicken, beef jerky, won ton soup, beans, cheese sticks, protein shakes, crab cakes and drink the isopure protein drinks. I try to get in 80 grams protein, under 40 grams carbs and tend to stick between 500 & 700 calories for the day (I tend to lose quicker with higher cals but struggle to get in over 700). Outside of that I don't really count anything else, sugar, or fiber etc and try to stay away from anything sugar free (just a personal preference).

I try to walk at least 3 times per week and hope to start the shred or c25k this weekend. My loss has really slowed down since starting solids but I hear that is normal...argh.

Here is a normal day for me. I hope this is helpful for you.

B: Sausage
S: Isopure Protein Drink
L: 1 oz chicken & .5 oz black beans
S: Tangy Tomato Salad 5 oz (slider food for me but oh so yummy)
D: Cilantro Salmon 1.5 oz
S: Sharp Cheddar Cheese Crackers & Cilantro Salsa (melted a cheese stick to make crackers)

I want to start the C25K program this week. I started it a couple of months ago and really enjoyed it on the phone app but I broke my foot and haven't been able to jog at all. I am released from the foot surgery and my WLS to jog but was wondering if there is anyone else doing it? I really need an accountability partner.

PS - I also have the Jillian Michael's 30 day shred that I haven't started. I wonder if doing these at the same time and alternating days would be a good idea. Has anyone done the shred? Is it super duper hard?

You look amazing, so much younger and your hair actually looks thicker and healthier!! Keep up the great work!

LB are the only bras I have worn for years. What is the smallest size the go down to around?

I was at my support group last night and someone suggested Women, Food, God or something like that. I haven't read it but it is on my Christmas list.

B: Scrambled Egg
S: Baked Flounder 2 oz
L: 1.5 oz Lean Steak - yum
S: 1 oz Beef Jerkey
D: Salmon or Shrimp - can't decide
S: 1/2 Protein Shake or Isopure Drink

Water: Not doing so hot on water
Vitamins: None yet
Exercise: 20 minutes brisk walking

Thanks everyone! I took a 20 minute brisk walk, brewed some decaf tea and ate 1.5 oz of left over steak and it kicked my craving..for now. Everyone in my family are soda junkies so it surrounds me. I will just have to resist the empty calories. Is coke 0 okay for you? Does anyone else drink it. I haven't ever seen it before.

It has only been one month since surgery and going into this surgery I had so many goals and expectations. I am happy to report the below NSVs and SVs!!

28 pounds - gone forever (never letting them come back)
33.5% of my excess weight is gone
Size 16 gone forever (packing them up this weekend)
I am just overweight not obese
27.75 inches gone (this one amazes me)

I am still waiting on my energy to come back but am hoping it will make a reappearance since I start real food this week...oh sweet Jesus...I am so excited to get liquids behind me!!

and a not-so-appropriate-NSV -- I can see my crotch while driving..haha! When I look down I no longer see fat rolls but can see the seat between my legs...amazing...hope i made you laugh. I guess it is the little things!!

Today is my first day on real food...yippee!!! I am hoping to collect your favorite meals to give me some ideas for the grocery store this afternoon. Please respond with your favorite meal and the ingredients, calories, protein etc. Thanks everyone!!
