Weight loss so far

[gryffen 176]

OK so my last weight management class was on the 30th March and I weighed around 160kg. 11th April I had my pre op assessment and was halfway through my liver diet and weighed 155.4kg.

Got my staples out today and jumped on the scales for the first time and I am down to 147.5kg.

I'm very happy and shocked at the weight loss but since my trigger to know and stop eating is hiccups I must be doing something right.

Question though (and I know everyone is different) but I'm only probably getting in about 15g of Protein a day due to food intake and I'm fine with liquids and I drink loads of milk - do I need to try and up it at this stage?

I can do a shake at 20g protein during day so that should help tomorrow.

Many thanks!

I would try. Consult your nutritionist if you're unsure how much Protein you should be getting. Good luck!

Worked out I drink about 800ml of milk a day so just shy of 30g Protein in milk alone. Add a protein yoghurt so that's another 20g and 15-20g for meals is 60-70g protein so not too shabby.

Not on solids yet so will bulk up on a shake a day.
