2 week check up

I had my 2 week check up , am doing good ..lost 27 pounds , am so happy !!!

I was having this weird dream ..a couple days before my appointment that I hadnt lost anything ...lol  now I can start soft foods ..I still have to figure out my protien I see we have a GNC store now in town so am going to check it out . I was wondering what some of you take for extra protien ..at this point right now am so tired of protien drinks ..so what else is there ?

hugs to all Sherry

At this stage drinks are your best bet. I would suggest sticking to them. Try different ones and add things to them to make them more interesting but over time you develop a "who cares" attitude towards food. Remember you are eating to live. I eat on a schedule and it is always the same things. I could care less about taste or quantity or texture now. It is just fuel. Congrats on your loss. That is rater substantial. Think about it. Normals take months to lose that amount! You did it in two weeks! Ahmed

WTG Sherry!!!  Congrats on the 27 pounds.  I am sure you feel just wonderful about that.  I think at this stage your main source of protein still needs to be the supplements.  I am 6 months out and still rely on one or two a day.  I get past the taste and realize I HAVE to consume them to be healthy.  You will do just fine.  Good Luck and keep up the good work.

I am 2 weeks pre op and I do 2 protien shakes a day.  I was told that the more protien I get in now, the better my cells will heal after the surgery.    I worked with my GNC and found a couple I really really like.  I use the vanilla in the morning for breakfast with a scoup of Decaf coffee and its like having my morning latte from Starbucks.    Afternoon is generally chocolate or Unjury's strawberry with crystal lite lemonade for a Strawberry Sorbet tasting shake.   GNC was really good about giving me advise and sample of products to try.  I have several of the Isopure clear protien drinks stocked for my first week home.    They are not as sweet as some of the fruit flavored one. Best of Luck Keep up the good work Pam

Wow you are doing great....well protein,,,,someone told me to try protein pudding that you can get from GNC....and it was great alittle thick but just take your time with it,,,also I switched to EAS protein drinks they are thinner and not bad..Atleast the chocolate isn't I have not tried any other flavor.....I am so happy for you....Keep it up......
