Yeah, that sounds much better than my 3 to 4 proten shakes a day and water. It was a long 2 weeks!

If I had a dollar for everytime I heard, "you've got such a pretty face, if only you'd lose weight." I'd be rich. Too many people don't know when to just shut up. Try not to let it get thebest of you. I'm a work in progree myself and I've come to the realization that no matter who hurts me, I have to keep moving forward. I have to live wth me the rest of my life, not them.

I have that problem on mornings I work. I surgeon suggested protein bars. I wouldn't choose a 300 calorie one. I like the pure protein bars. They are 180-200 cals and 20 protein. Also, followng your surgeons guidlines, do what works for you. If the weight is coming off...keep goin in that direction. If it stalls or goes up, its time to make some adjustments in what your eating and your workouts.

Awesome!!!! Good Luck!

What kept me focused was the purpose of the diet. Its designed to shrink your liver, making the surgery easier for the doctor and safer for you. I wanted to have every advatage I could have. It was hard, but so worth it. I also got right out of bed and walked. They let me walk while my post op antibiotic was infusing. I refused to even lay in the bed in my room. I was determined not to stay there long. You will do great. Keep focusing on the prize. My prize its been 6 month, I've lost 68 pounds. I feel like a brand new person. Good luck and hang in there.

Soooo happy to hear that! I just got a fill an I'm at 4.2 cc. I just ate about 3 oz of yogurt and I'm stuffed. Its freakin awesome! :-)
