6 months post WLS

Oct 19, 2009

I am now officially 6 months post op.  I went to visit the surgeon earlier this month for my checkup.  All of my labs were normal with the exception of my Vitamin D which was only slightly low.  I have now lost 98 lbs and when I get the next two pounds gone, I'll have achieved a huge goal.  I must admit that the weight loss has decreased to a crawl and I find that I have to put more effort into ensuring that I'm making the right food choices and ensuring that I'm getting in an adequate amount of excercise but it's all worth it.  I really have no trouble getting in my vitamins, supplements, water, etc.  As a matter of fact, I have found a protein supplement that I absolutely love!!!!  It's the Syntrax Nectar fruit flavored drinks.  My favorites are the Fuzzy Navel, Twisted Cherry, and Crystal Sky flavors.  And the great thing is that you mix them with water.  So not only are you getting the protein, you're also getting in extra water.  Each drink has 23 g of protein with only 90 calories.  I absolutely look forward to these drinks and have about 3 per day.  Anyone who's tired of the Vanilla/Choc stuff might like to try these as a refreshing alternative.
