Good for you! It sure is a whole new way of living, isn't it? I'm focusing on the small things I can control and do consistently. That is the key....I hope!

Would you share with me how much protein, nutrients, fluids and activity is your goal? Just got home from hospital yesterday I am trying to get 60 g protein, 48 ozs water I would like to get an idea of how many steps on my fitbit I should get? Thanks so much a bit confused about now because I have gained weight with hardly eating anything ... about 6 pounds so kind of discouraged - thanks so much and congrats on your success!!!!

So I'm shooting for 90g of protein per day, 80-100oz of fluids, I take 4 Optisource orange chewable wafers (walgreens for a one month supply is $30) per day and they contain all of the vitamins we need... except my NUT told me that I needed also to get a sublingual B-12, so I found a great one that is B-12 dots at Sprouts (cherry flavored vegan formula - 100 ct/$8.99, 250 ct/$18.99) to take a bit after I've taken my first Optisource tablet/wafer. As far as the percentages, I track EVERYTHING in myfitnesspal and had set up goals with my NUT beforehand... which right at first aren't necessary to follow, but I'm sticking to them anyway, just getting more protein right now because that is what we need. Carbs/40%, Fat 35%, and Protein 25% of the daily diet (later on!)... but the protein will be much higher right now. I add in my b-12 and oprtisource with my food on myfitnesspal.
