Karla, do you make your own SF banana cream pie pudding? It sounds good! April

I am curious, how much protein are you getting in per day? I have been a a stall now for 3 weeks or so, haven't lost a lb. This is very discouraging for me, I always get scared that I will stop losing. I have only lost 70 lbs since surgery. Have a great day, Rosemary

Rosemary My surgeon wants me to get in 60 to 70 grams a protein a day. My goal is to get at least 60 a day. Most days I fall short and average between 50 to 55. Today I met my goal of 60. I put 1.5 scoops of protein in my morning coffee to start out with 33 grams of protein. I couldn't meet my protien goal without protein shakes because I can only eat but so much food. I usually add a scoop or a half a scoop of protein to coffee as a snack to up my protein durning the day. My weight slowed down one time and adding a shake durning the day as a snack helped. I don't weigh often so I have no clue if I've stalled lately or not. Hang in there. Make sure your eating enough, drinking enough and geting your protein in. The weight will start to fall off again. Kay

Thanks for the advice Kay, I will try adding a protein shake during the day. I usually have one for breakfast and the days that I don't I can not get all my protein in. Thanks again, take care, Rosemary

Hi Kay, I'm doing good, very happy that it's Friday. Mmm tacos sound wonderful, I love those also. Here is my menu: B-Nothing L-1/4 c. of 1% cottage cheese and few bites of trail mix D-2 small chinese pancakes, Steamed Scallops w/mixed vegetables (chinese) Water: 44 ounces so far Vitamins: Check Have a good night, Carly

Hi Guys: I'm not sure what happened to me today, but I was feeling really weird. I went to workout & after my cardio warm up my trainer sent me home--said I didn't look well. I wasn't feeling sick, just drained of energy. I felt better after taking a nap. Well, here's my menu today: B: Atkins protein bar L: cottage cheese/fresh fruit salad S: Pria peppermint protein bar before workout D: 1 slice pizza with pepperoni--not setting well right now I had a very light workout and I'm still working on my water...vitamins are done Unfortunately I went to the Dr. today & I have to go back on my blood pressure medicatoin

B: Carb Control Blueberry Yogurt- 4 oz L: SouthBeach Asian Wrap (used all the chicken, 1/2 tortilla, 1/2 the crunch noodles, 1/2 the dressing) S: RF stringcheese S#2 SF Frozen Fruit Bar, 1 tsp peanutbutter D: going out to indian- will have chicken in this tomato based sauce- yum. will have nectar later (estimated totals): Cals 760 Fat 29 Carbs 36 Protein 83

Ok, I lied... we went out to a different place. So, I had grilled chicken with havarti and sundried tomatos instead of indian for dinner... i also am not having any nectar tonight. so, basically my totals are incorrect.
