One Week Out and minus 15 lbs
Hello All!!!!!
Sorry I haven't updated you all sooner. I am one week and 2 days out from surgery and am 15 lbs lighter! The incisions are healing nicely (the super glue itches!). I can tolerate everything I have tried so far and I love the Choco-pb shake I have been having for lunch! It tastes like a Reese's cup. Of course, I am still in the honeymoon stage where I do not want to eat - let's hope it lasts. The only problem I seem to be having is getting in my water, but I am working on that.
Hubby is glad everything is over - he was petrified I would die during surgery or from a complication shortly after. He is being wonderful and supportive, as are the kiddos.
I go back to the doctor on 9-14 and will let you all know what he says!

Good for you, Michelle! Glad everything went well. And congratulations on the -15 lbs!! Way to go!!!!
Hey Diana!
The shake is easy -
3/4 c milk
2 tbsp sugar free chicolate syrup (WalMart has it)
6-8 ice cubes
1 tbsp peanut butter (Simply Jif is good)
1 scoop unflavored protein powder (if you use Chocolate protein powder, decrease the sf chocolate syrup to 1 tbsp; for unflavored I use AnyWhey).
This has 27g protein if made with AnyWhey. For more protein, you can use evaporated skim milk and/or a higher gram per scoop protein powder.
Blend in blender until ice is smooth.
Enjoy it!!!!!!!!
