12 Days out 17 lbs down!

I know it is suggested not to become a slave to the scale, but I HAVE! I've been weighing myself every morning after I use the bathroom and as of today, I have lost 17 pounds since my surgery 12 days ago! (Jan 16) My daily caloric intake has been between 600-775 calories (yesterday I only consumed 572 calories), but my exercise has been below what had been recommended. I've only been walking a couple days out of the week and that's only been about 1/4 mile. I really need to mostly concentrate on getting in the minimum protein my surgeon said to, which for now is 40 grams per day. Yesterday I got in only 36 grams and the day before I got in 46 grams. The Isopure drinks have 40 grams of protein in each 20 ounce bottle and they are REALLY good..... in several different fruity flavours. I am going to be more diligent and start drinking them earlier in the day so I can finish a whole bottle by bed time. ~Teri~ 311/279/262/140
