protein shakes help and I found the progresso soups -especially in full liquid stage are great - they actually have quite a bit of protein - I just pureed them and was good to go I was honestly surprised that I was meeting my protein for the day. I get about 80 grams a day. Kinda shocked me.

Yogurt

Higher Protein Soups add a little shredded cheese too and let it melt then puree

Protein Drinks

It starts to add up

Sorry, a bit of a side bar, but how do you put the 'ticker' on your profile?

okay, so you didn't have the use the protein powder? What form did you get your vitamines in? I see sublingual Iron, but what about all the others?

There are a couple of entries somewhere on this site on how to do it. I went to Http://www.tickerfactory.com/weight-loss to create my entry and account. After that was done, it gives you a URL to copy. That is applied as a link to your signature in your profile. You can add other items in and around the ticker. There are some step-by-step processes here somewhere though.

I did use a protein drink - one a day and that's it.

First week I didn't, but the first week out is really not something to worry too much about.

I have liquid vitamins, just haven't started taking them yet. I bought them at costco.

that's great! Thanks for your help (both of you). I seem to have figured out how to put the counter on my profile.

Here is a link to a tutorial LilMissDiva wrote that tells you how to put the weight loss. Hope this helps!
