how did you do the Protein?

[Joel 126]

As far as my Protein goes, I use gold standard 100% whey. It is 120 calories per scoop. I double my scoops so one shake is 220 calories. I drink two double scoop shapes per day, one in the morning, and one around 230-3 pm.

I did a lot of reading on Proteins, gold standard whey is the best in my opinion. They is no sugars, and tastes great.

Congrats! That is awesome!! Can you tell me what your lunch and dinner looks like? 2oz seems way too little, like 2 slices of turkey?

Hi there

I would be interested in seeing what your typical meal plan looks like. 2 ozs seems like so little. Even 2 ounces of Soup??

hi Joel, when you say liquid diet. can you (or someone else) give me examples of what that is? (i realize what it is) but want to get as many suggestions as i can get.

[Joel 126]

My meals consist of 2 oz. I eat a small egg in the morning or a small packet of oatmeal, sugar free of course, Then I will have a Protein Shake, then lunch will consist of chili or a baked potato, and then I will have another Protein shake a couple hours l;ater. Finally I will have dinner, consisting of maybe clam chowder, or some type of thicker Soup. I like the thicker stuff as it sits better. But.... It is always 2 ounces. I have about 5 cc'c in my 10 cc band so far, and it seems to be doing well, but i am scheduled for another fill today.

[Joel 126]

As far a"Liquid diet" Mine was Protein Shakes 100% 3 or 4 of them a day.
