7 Week Follow-up

May 17, 2010

I went today for my follow-up visits with the NUT & surgeon.  I was honest about my intake - I knew that my protien has been low.  They both talked about getting it up -- but that I shouldn't be doing any shakes or bars.  And, I shouldn't have yogurt anymore either.  The NUT wants me to eat a total of 9 oz per day of solid protien.  I'm not even close.  Not remotely.  Throw in that it has to be done in 3 meals with no snacks... it could be some time before I hit my protien goal.

On a positive note... the surgeon's scale is kinder than mine at home.  He has me down 29lbs since surgery.  He cut my BP meds in half and said that my weight loss (by percentage) is ahead of the curve & that I am in line to hit goal!  Yay!!!
