Post op questions

[gj82000 0]

I am 2 months post op and not losing..I have lost 26 lbs..so far.. I have a few questions and I need some input from others..Please help...

I am soooo tired all of the time and I feel hungry all of the time.. I crave sweets and that is a big downfall of mine..Question...why can't we have caffine? Energy drinks?

Also, I am so afraid I am doing things all wrong and I will mess things up...Can this be done? I walk every morning and every evening and using the fit bit..Getting close to 10000 steps a day..but nothing seems to be happening..I have been the same weight for 10 days now and feel I don't eat much of anything.

I can't stand the Protein shakes...I get my Protein with Core Power..It has 20 grams of protein and I drink at least 3 - 4 a day..Is this a good enough way to get protein without shakes? HELP

What do you mean by Core Power? Are you talking about their shakes? If so and you're drinking 4 a day, you're getting way too many carbs and sugar. 4 of those shakes a day is 112 grams of carbs and 104 grams of sugar. That's too much at this point.

Are you drinking the light ones? Even so that's 52 grams of carbs and 44 grams of sugar which still may be too much depending on what else you are taking in. That much sugar may be making you crave more of it.

Are you on real food yet? I was at that point and I didn't do Protein shakes at all.

You are at the same place I was at 2 months. It's 3 months now and 32 lbs lost. I just don't get discouraged. All of a sudden one day it all comes together. You are just about to that point. I was you! Now I am feeling great, don't feel so hungry all the time. I was okay'd for coffee at 4 weeks. Just don't drink it as one of your liquids for the day. Keep drinking Water. Also I just drink one cup a day.

I don't know about core power. I drink at least one premier shake a day and get the rest from food.< /p>

Definitely too much sugar. That's why your body is craving more. You have to try a different one. Also what else are you drinking? I started drinking coffee after I was cleared for regular food. I keep to my 4oz between coffee, G2 and crystal lite.

Most energy drinks are carbonated and provide unnecessary Vitamins since you're taking others to keep your energy up along with Protein.< /p>

Try the muscle milk pro series. It has 40 grams of protein per bottle.
