Good Day

Hi all,
I have had a visit from my in-laws this week, Sounds like i should have eaten more than I should or worse at least. Well with all the walking. They have never been to Arizona, We went to the zoo,Grand Canyon, Up hills etc. I have lost almost 8 lbs this week. Only problem is only ate one meal a day, and 2 protein drinks and lots of water. So they leave tonight. So now back to work and the grind. Lets hope I can now get all my meals in and still loose.
Hugs to all.
Linda S says hi and thank you for all the cards.

Hi Terri....nice to see you. 

Sounds like you are doing great with the weight loss....just be sure you are getting in enough calories and dense protein. I am sorry if I am nagging...I am sure you already know all this.

Tell Linda S her Boo says hello and that I miss her!!

Hugs....connie d

Thank You Connie,
Really I am learning as I go. what is dense protein?
I eat chicken, tuna.

Hi!
I'm not Connie but thought I'd chime in.

Whey Protein is great for packing in protein.  1 scoop is anywhere from 100 - 140 cals (depending on brand) and you get about 20-25 grams of protein in the scoop!!   When I need to load on protein like pre and post plastic surgery I will do a "double" shake...2 scoops, about 8 -10 oz of water and I get 50 grams of protein!!!!!

I use Body Fortress Whey Protein (van or choc)....I buy it at Walmart and it was just on sale 2 lbs container for $12.00 (normally about $16.00).

Hope that helps

PS - I did not have WLS so PLEASE be sure to check the ingredients before you think about using the protein I use to make sure it is safe for you.  :-)
