HAPPY FRIDAY everyeone How is everyone doing? I'm doing good. Here is what I ate today B~Protein shake L~1/2 a Grilled chicken breast. D~Protein shake.. Not hungry S~Protein shake Water: 45 oz so far Exercise: 2 - 15 minute walks Kay

Kay, Please forgive me for getting personal and questioning your menu, but... Are you sure that is enough? Are you feeling okay? Now to the other extreme... B-south beach almond cranberry bar L-spinach,chicken,cheese,blackbean and roasted corn roll-up S-1/4 fresh mango D-Turkey chilli w/cheese S-Boiled egg

Thanks for your concern. Actually it's not enough. Since surgery, I have absolutely no appitite. I feel so bad when I read everyones menu and see what they are eating. I had to force myself to eat that chicken at lunch today. I get full very quick. For a snack I tried to eat yoguart. I took one bite and gagged. It didn't make me sick but I just really didn't want it. I'm going to call my surgeon Monday and ask them about it. Thanks for asking Kay

Hi Kay--your smile is so contagious!!! Yes please talk to your doctor about your situation-not to be preaching at you but if you dont get in the required amount of protein you are at risk for losing muscle instead of fat and your weight loss can actually slow down if your not eating besides the fact your organs need the nutrition to keep working--my friend who had surgery 4 years ago didnt eat enough protein from very early on etc and she has had problems--good luck to you and I can relate as well there are days that I force a protein drink down or a 3 oz vile of profect protein just to get in another 25grams of protein to meet my requirements because I just am not hungry Take care and let us know what your doctor says

happy Friday to you too. B 1/4 c. cottage cheese 1/4 cup pears L1/4 cup tuna green beans 1/4c pears D same as lunch protein shake 8 oz. milk
