vol1cathy 1 Posted March 7, 2011 Hi all, Just wanted to update any one who is interested. I am 12 days out of surgery today and doing great! I have lost a total of 26 lbs! I lost 11 on the pre-op diet and have lost 15 since my surgery. Still on full liquids I do feel hungry on occasion but nothing like I used to and a Protein drink takes care of it quite well. I go back to the Dr on Tuesday for my 2 week appt. hope he will be as pleased as I am! I am supposed to be getting 60 gr of Protein, 30 gr of carbs, and 2 scoops of this powdered Vitamin supplement , but I am not there yet just getting 48 gr of protein, 18 carbs and 1 scoop of Vitamin powder. I really hope he will let me move on to the vitamin pills at this appt. I've been walking on the treadmill too. I have worked up to 30 min at an easy pace. So I am excited for what the future holds! Pre-OP appt. 2/7/11 - 254 Surgery 2/22/11 - 243 Today 3/6/11 - 228 Total - 26 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

vol1cathy 1 Posted March 7, 2011 glad to hear you are doing so well! Just curious, what powdered Vitamin supplement are you using? I am using New Life Bariatric supplements, I bought them at my Dr. office I don't know if you can get them other places. But I think you can order them from www.NewLifeBariatric Supplements.com Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
