You're right on target.  I try not to compare my weight loss to others.  Everyone is different and every pound lost gets you closer to goal.

Thanks everyone for the tips.  I found out that I am very lactose intolerant so my protein was making me sick.  I got some protein bullets that I tolerate and today i found some low lactose protein that I'm going to try with my lactaid to see if I get it down. I'm still struggling with water, but its getting easier.  I started writing down my water and food intake to see how much I'm getting in.  Right now I'm at about 5 cups a day, which is better than 2 weeks ago.  Still not 8 cups but still good.  My energy is still shot though.  I wish that would come back.  I return back to work next week and I'm worried about being so tired all the time.

It's been a month for me and I'm still struggling. I'm having a hard time because before surgery there were a number of protein shakes I liked, now I don't.  Struggle each day to get in enough water. Usually I can eek out 48oz but would rather be up to 64+.  I wasn't expecting to feel like you, nothing really tastes , sounds or looks appealing. What a change!  Even if I had just a few "go to" high protein items that I liked, I'd be so much happier. You're not alone.

Hi everyone...I know this was posted a while ago but I just thought I would share with you the protein drinks I drink. It is the only one I can handle right now (and I have tried alot!) It is EAS 100% whey protein. It is 23 gms of protein per scoop and you use two scoops per 6-8ozs. I mix two scoops with 6 ozs of water and sip on this for about 1-2hours until I have drank it all. That is 46gms of protein in one drink! I then wait at least 1 hour before eatting anything (usually longer). So anyway that is how I deal with the protein right now I still cannot eat too much at eat meal (I am eatting 1/4c to 1/3c total food per meal) MD wants me up to 1/2c total food per meal. But I guess it will come. Good luck to everyone! and keep up the good work!
