Hi everyone, Great news, Kay, on your appt and the total over 100. That is pretty amazing. I am seeing something here in our posts - including my own - so I am going to point it out. I dont think that the majority of us (including me) are meeting our protein requirements. Like me, there's a significant reduction in protein shakes - maybe we're all just grossed out at this point. But they are still important. So, that's my observation for whatever its worth. I am working hard to exceed my protein figuring that if I over calculate I'll still make it. The irony of this all, we're not eating enough. Thursday's menu: B: slice sprouted toast with a tiny bit of butter, avocado and goat cheese (8g) S: protein shake with soy milk (I am back to my 32g of protein bomb!) L: thai tofu and some flat rice noodles (they did really well) S: more of the tofu, no noodles D: more of the tofu and some rice noodles (I figure 10g for both meals) S: a little less than 1/2 bottle isopure (15g) I know I got 65-70g of protein today, without a doubt. Soon its Friday....have a great weekend. Tiffany

Hey Tiffany I know for a fact that I don't get enough protein in. My surgeon talked to me about it today and I promised myself that tomorrow I will try harder. It's hard for me because I get so full and when it's time for a shake, I'm not hungry enough for it. I still enjoy drinking them. He told me if I drink 2 shakes a day plus protein in every meal, I will meet the requirements. Tomorrow I will try hard!! Thanks for pointing that out! Protein is very important and everybody needs to add more in our diets. Hopefully someone else will read what you said and what I said and make a promise to do better. Thanks girl! Kay

Kay! Great job on the weight loss this far!!! About protein: I only drink one 8 oz protein drink a day and have been consistantly getting over 70g of protein... I have done this since Feb 7th- and never have had to add another shake. So, you guys may only need one if you eat mainly protein for your meals. Anyway, heres what my food day was: F: 8 oz Carb Countdown Chocolate Milk B: 4 oz Carb Control Vanilla Yogurt L: 2 oz Southwest chicken peices with 1 oz 2% Reduced Fat Cheese melted ontop, dipped into some salsa (It was a SouthBeach lunch on the go thing, I just didnt eat the tortillas that came with it) D: Fake homemade "Pizza" (small low carb tortilla, 1 tsp FF italian dressing, 2 oz LF mozzarella and 1 oz turkey pepperoni). Ate 3/4, will eat the rest later when I get a snack attack. F: 1 Scoop Nectar Fuzzy Navel with 10oz water TOTALS: Calories 581 Fat 19 Carbs 23 Protein 86 Vits: 1/2 done Fluids: Man, I can not seem to get past about 40 oz in a day! Exercise: Brisk walk- 30 minutes... wished it were longer, but it wiped me out today!
