Another monthly appointment.

Feb 16, 2009

So today I had another monthly appointment with my primary care physician. I gained one pound.  I turned in my diet logs and she said I eat to many carbs, but I already know that.  I'm not really sure why I'm gaining weight, maybe I'm more hydrated, I don't know.  This past month, I have made alot of changes to my diet.  I stopped drinking all sodas, diet and regular.  I haven't had any carbonated drinks in 2 weeks, which is major for me, because I was drinking at least a case a week (of diet soda).  I now drink my 64 ounces of water a day.  I also have been obsessed with finding a protein drink of my liking, so I have had a ton of those, all different brands and textures and flavors.  So far, the best have been from the Vitamin Shoppe and they are called Worldwide Pure Protein Shake with 35 gm of protein, 4 gm of carbs, 170 calories.  These aren't the best tasting, comparatively to the ones with more carbs, but they are as good as Slim Fast, if not a bit better.  And my second runner up is from www.bariatricadvantage.com.  They have their own brand of protein shakes/meal replacements.  The vanilla isn't very tasty in my opinion, but the others are fine.  They have 15gm of protein and 7 gm of carbs, if I recall correctly.  Anyway though, so another general appointment next month, then in April I will do my lab work and chest xray, and in May I get my referral to the surgeon.  Its been three months, and I have three more to go.
