Protein question & I've lost 7 lbs
I'm a little over 2 and half years post op. I lost down from 324 to 161. Thats where my surgeon wanted me. I maintained that for a year. Then I noticed that I went back to bad habits. Inside of eating meals I was snacking/grazing on junk food all the time. I gained 30 pounds. This past Tues when I went to my family doc I weighed in at 190. That scared me. That opened my eyes. Since Tues I've cut out all snacks and sweets. 3 small meals a day. Chicken, Turkey, Fish. I was wanting to start my protein shakes again but I'm worried that it might have caffiene in it. I have always used Body Fortress Chocolate Whey Protein. Its got 23g per serving of protein, 110 cals, 2 carbs, 1g sugar. I don't see caffiene anywhere in the incredients or on the jug at all. If it doesn't say caffiene does that mean it doesn't have any?
Thanks

By the way I've lost 7 pounds since Tues and I am determined to get back to where I was. I see my gastric bypass surgeon Sept 5, he wants to do a scope and a upper GI. I've been told recently that I have acid reflux so I think he wants to check that out
Thanks...I'm excited about it. I'm excited to be back on track. The urge to snack does get me but I found out that there is NO caffiene in my protein powder so I can have that and I'll make it. I see u r from Leitchfield. Have loads of family and friends down there. Know any Royaltys? Nottinghams? Manion? Theres a used car lot right off 62 when u go into Clarkson, they have a greenhouse too. Thats my cousin Anna Francis and her husband, Joe. I think they're last name is Cain. I haven't been to my family reunion in over 9 yrs. Its always down right before u get to Clarkson. I believe I'll go this year.
