Any suggestions?[/quote'] I am also struggling to get my protein in. I finally met with the nutritionist and she suggested I really monitor my Water intake. She thinks I am actually drinking to much and don't have room for the food. I have really tried to stick with 8-10 ounces an hour of Water, it is helping a little!

Alyjourneys 117 Posted July 26, 2013 Sometimes I wonder if I'm losing since I look at myself everyday. When in doubt, I find pics Pre surgery. Here is one that made me happy. Lost a total of 37lbs in 9 wks. 1 greygirl903 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kiwi63 22 Posted July 26, 2013 Sleeved May 28 Preop diet 211 Surgery day 197 July 26 173 I have learned that if I hit my Protein goals the weight comes off. I make a homemade shake with oatmeal, Greek yoghurt, flax, milk and fruit every morning and drink it between meals. Since I started doing this I broke my 3 week long stall. 1 Wags reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Alyjourneys 117 Posted July 26, 2013 How many calories ? How much of each item do u use? Sounds yummy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kiwi63 22 Posted July 26, 2013 I use I cup milk, 1/4 cup powdered oatmeal ( I grind it in food processor or coffee grinder) same of ground flax, 1/2 small tub Greek yoghurt, (don't like it so I only use a small amount) 1/2 cup any frozen fruit and I thin it with Water I also add 2tbs skim milk powder. It has around 400 calories (flax is 100 so I leave this out every other day) and 28-30g Protein. It helps me hit my goal everyday! It's yummy. Not too sweet and I keep it in the blender in the fridge and sip at it all day. You could add more yoghurt if you like it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
