I add my Protein to my Decaf coffee. Tastes much better. Just make sure to mix protein with a little Water and mix' date=' before adding. Perfect way to get protein in.[/quote']

That's a great idea. It would act as sweetener and Creamer right?

Cecelia how did it takes for your pains to go?

I'm three weeks out as of yesterday haven't been able to walk more than 15 minutes. When I do I'm exhausted. Even after a shower I'm exhausted. My pain has gotten more tolerable but neither Tylenol or Lortab touched the pain. Mostly the weird part is its like i cant have anything touching my skin by my pain areas.....Doc let me do 48 hours of Motrin that helped and they wrote a script for ultram which I hope helps the rest of this pain. I'm suppose to go back to work on the 5th starting half days i have a sitting job so im hoping it will go well. I'm going to venture out Friday to treat myself to mani/pedi.

I think I may be one of the exceptions... I was off narcotics by day 4 and off Tylenol the next day. However, before you feel jealous, I think I'm one of the slow losers... this happened to me too when I did Atkins many years ago and lost 80 lbs. They came off soooo slooooow! Geez. My body doesn't like to part with its fat!

I ate a scrambled fresh egg with a slice of cheese melted on it! Well not the whole thing- but over half of it! It was DELISH! I'm on the second stage full liquids, I don't know if an egg is part of the menu but I made it and it was yum and no side effects from it yet! Was a nice change up!

I'm so jealous! Scrambled eggs sit very poorly with me. I did find out I can eat an egg if it's in egg drop Soup, which is fun to make. So that's how I get my eggs... Still I miss scrambled eggs!

That and my back is soo sore it feels like I was smashed in the middle of my back with a baseball bat.

My back felt awful for almost a whole week. I don't know if it had to do with the positioning during surgery or if it was gas escaping, but geez! I was glad to be done with that! Also, I did feel a stitch-like pain for the first week or two, but that has mostly gone away too. I hope it goes the same for you!

Surgery date: 2/14

Lost 35 pounds already! !! Feeling really good. I just get tired easy. I'm lucky to get 500 calories a day. So I run out of steam quick.

Congratulations!!! I lost 15 pounds the first week, and it's been a pound every 2-3 days since. And that's considering I've added walking daily in this last week. Like I said earlier, I'm a slow loser!

On the bright side, I have 4 pair of jeans in my closet, and all but the tightest pair is looking baggy on me. When that last pair gets baggy, I get to break into my smaller clothes sizes (yes, I have a stash of multi-sized clothes from all the weight loss/gain cycles)

Yep! And tastes good I'm a coffee fanatic so I mix chocolate and coffee. Can mix to taste. Get all my Protein in daily.

I am wiped out!!! Spent the weekend camping in freezing weather with cub scouts, down in the mid 20's at night (thank god for the electric blanket!!!). I am so tired and sore (I'm guessing from sleeping on the ground). I need a weekend to recover from my weekend!!!!

So glad our entire group of Fabulous February's are finally on the flip side!!!! Can't wait to see what the next few months holds for all of us

I am allowed to eat cheerios (dry). I have found that they sit well on my tummy and give me a much needed energy boost.

Yes. They are great. They pretty much melt in your mouth so they are super easy on the tummy. Very satisfying.
