Hi, I am almost 8 months out, down 164 pounds. 338-174. I work as a manager of a fast food restaurant. This week, Tuesday I was moved from a slow low volume store to a very busy hectic store. I thought I was doing pretty well at the slow store, but moving to this busy store I lost 3 pounds in just a few days. I try to eat something on my way to work because its an hour drive. I usually eat a slice of ham and cheese for the Protein. But once I get to work its too busy, too hectic to even think about trying to get a little bite of food in or drink. I work a 10 hour shift too. When I get off work I grab a price of grilled chicken and usually eat about half of that on my way hone. I know I've got to find some way to eat a little more somehow.

You are doing great to be able to work at a fast food restaurant and stay so disciplined. I know that must be super hard. sounds like you are prepared and that is the hardest part. Just add a few more planned meals into you day and that will bump you up a little to more food. Great job on your wl success!

Hi! Wow you have done amazing! Is it possible for you to fix something for yourself at the restaurant and put it to the side? Then it will be ready for you whenever you get a break? I used to work at a very busy retail store as a manager, and it was virtually impossible to get a planned break/lunch because you are constantly covering for other people, but maybe if you already had something prepared and ready to grab it could be easier? Even if you brought your own cooler (small construction worker cooler) you can grab and go. I have started shopping (food) for work and keep everything in a soft cooler in the fridge at work. That way I can just pick and choose/grab and go.

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
