Though I agree regarding supplements, I do use high protein snacks/foods from Diet Direct and Bariatric Pal. Specifically, I use the oatmeal (90 calories), Bari Wise chips and Peanut butter chocolate bars. Just make sure you keep conscious of the carbs and sugar while tracking everything you eat.

I have been wanting to start exercising regularly, but have limitations due to hip surgery with permanent nerve injury. That said, I started aggressive physical therapy 5 weeks ago. So pardon me, but I'm gonna start slow--- but love this challenge to keep me motivated and accountable. So my initial goal is 10 minutes 3x/week, adding 5 minutes each week till I get to 30 minutes, and then increase to 4 and 5 times/week. My starting weight is 199.6 (this morning! ). My goal is 187.
