Hey Wishes!! Dont you worry about getting denied. There are a lot of options if that happens, but as long as you follow all of requirements, and meet their critera, you'll get approved! I find out next week if i'm approved or not... it's scary, i know!!

i am one week post op as of today!!! i feel fine, just a bit tired and having alot of trouble adding protein. anyone else like this?

I am doing great. Getting in all my protein and fluids with no problem. I have hit the 3rd week stall and hope it does not last too long. Your surgery is coming up soon! How are you doing?

No, I don't following my guidelines 100% of the time. I have eaten my fair share of donuts and tabo foods. But I don't beat myself up about it and I go on. I do try to eat my protein and drink my water and I think that helps alot. I have slowed down alot in my weight loss tho. I am losing about 10 pounds a month now. That's why I am hoping to be at goal by Aug.

who wanted to know about the special K or musle milk protein drinks

Funny, but not! So I ordered some protein powder to try from Amazon that someone was raving about on LBT. It came Saturday. I didn't get the box from my door immediately. As I went out later I see the box laying in my front yard by the street cut open. Now I am ticked that someone stole my stuff. I retrieved the open box and the protein powder still in tact. Guess, they were disappointed to find out that was in the box and not something "good".

trying to get a protein shake down....but its making me sick!

this morning went out for breakfast with the hub and 2 grandsons. I had 1/2 a piece of french toast. It was once my very favorite thing to eat. Did nothing for me. I was thrilled!! I had 2 cups of tea. I had a protein shake before we got the boys, wise choice.

Hello, I am 4 days post op........bad experience with protein shake, staying with clear liquids today. Is this normal?

myfitnesspal is awesome! I've never been a calorie counter, so this makes keeping track of protein, calories, and fat super easy!

My birthday is tomorrow! What should I make a wish over? SF FF popsicle? pudding? protein shake? hot cereal? Hmmm so many choices.....

Excited today and nervous it is getting close. Today I start my 2 week diet and I got the wrong protein shake soooo I haveto go back to Walmart on my lunch break to get the correct one. I feel ok just having a hard time drinking all this water. sip sip sip.

This pre op full liquid diet is on hard in th fact that I'm hungry. It's just that I was to chew eat some awesome savory foods! Come on Sept. 12

I have been trying to find a protein shake that doesn't taste like CHALK...and the 3 I had tried, all RTD liquids did, even after I doctored them up with sugar free caramel syrup and splenda and coffee...wondered how I would ever drink these for weeks on end.

Just had an herbalife energy tea and a protein shake and I am bouncing off the walls.....weeeeee!!!!!!!

Well yesterday made 1 week since my surgery and I feel great I go to the Dr today and I hope he remove this drain it is annoying more than anything and constantly in my way. I was feeling so weak initially when I came home on June 19th but that has since changed because I decided to try juicin and it has worked wonders there are so many recipes to try but you do have to be sure not to over do it. But it gives me energy as well and nutrients. I could not do those proteins shakes or drinks as t...

Finally got some flavorless protein powder to mix with my smoothies! I was getting tired of the chocolate whey protein powder... It was beginning to smell "different" lol

butterscotch sugar free jello made with 1% milk and a scoop of unflavored protein powder = super yummy protein packed snack!!!!

protein how much

Over 3 months to surgery and just trying to concentrate on proteins, veggies, and fruits as my meals...getting in the habit as much as possible plus it is totally dropping my blood sugar...may try sprouted bread today and see how that works.

ANXIOUS to start Options!!! Can't it be May already!

Have to share my new breakfast recipe.......1 scoop protien powder, 1 egg, and milk to the consistency you like for a pancake, pour in heated pan, add blueberries and make like a pancake YUMMY! 17 grams of protein.

Weight loss is so slow, going without meat for a while to see if that helps. Lots of protein shakes.

One third of the way into Options and I have lost just over one third of the weight they want me to lose pre-surgery so it is looking good. Folks are now having their surgeries within about a week of finishing options so it looks as if I should have my surgery in July.

Trying to find a protein that won't make my new tummy flip!
