I just found out that milk has Protein. Lol

LoL! Good for you! Certain veggies also do... not a lot, mind, but they do. Google 'Protein rich foods' and you'll get a very comprehensive list.

Hello' date=' How many pounds ave you lost so far?

[/quote']

Hi there I have lost 15 pounds since surgery and I'm not sure from before because I don't know what my exact weight was when I started my 2 week pre-op diet but I think it was a couple of pounds. I've lost a full pants size though!

I stalled for a few weeks after surgery but I think I'm in a good groove now. I lost 5.5 lbs last week and so far I've lost 3 lbs since last Friday. Today when I weighed without shoes I moved the bar to the 250 and not the 300 for the first time in I don't know how when. I'm barely below 300 but dammit I'm below! I feel really great about that. Still can't tell much weigh loss yet but the scale doesnt lie. Just had to share. :)

I've also updated my blog, It's more humorous than helpful :) thefatgirlthin.blogspot.com

Today I had a very bad morning and normally I would've gone to a restaurant and eaten some comfort food but instead I went to the gym. I have never felt so good! I also did 4km on the elliptical in 35 mins which is a new record for me!!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
