:-D 2 week checkup

I had my 2 week checkup on yesterday and have lost a total of 16 pounds since surgery for a total of 65 altogether I got my first b12 shot and hopefully that will give me more energy. Hubby stopped on way home and got me some protein drinks that are actually pretty good. They are RTD Exteme Smooties, I got them at Vitamin Shoppe. I have had chocholate and strawberry supreme so far and they tast like yoohoo to me. One 11 oz has 35 grams of protein, 4 grams of sugar, and 6 carbs. They are kinda pricey though. 0ne 12 pack in 20.00. But I figure if I drink 2 a day that is 70 grams of protein so it will cost me about 20.00 bucks a week. Not too bad. They say I am doing well though.

Your doing great!! when you find a protein you can drink and actually enjoy your doing wonderful! I get tired of protein drinks so quickly.. My pantry has enough protein to stock a small store! But variety is good for me.. I think maybe Ill go buy a couple RTD's and give them a try... Congrats on doing so well! Amber

Nalani, It took me about 8 weeks to have my energy return to pre-surgery levels. Be patient and try to take walks, it will help! Lori 384/278/170
