Hey Darlin'

Good luck to you too!

I must say my Protein shake this morning was super yummy! I have some good recipes for you if you would like. What kind of Protein are you using?

I had the choice of Medifast, carnation instant Breakfast drinks or Slimfast Low Carbs for my drinks. I chose Slimfast. I drink 3 of those a day and then get 5-7 oz of Protein (depending on the type) and 3 servings (1/2 cup each except for lettuce) of veggies. They said I could also have sliced cucumbers or sugar-free popcicles or Jello.

It's amazing how each doctor differs in the diet they give out. I had some of my Protein for lunch so I'm feeling much better. The hard part is remembering that I can't have things. I ate so often out of habit that I would pop a piece of candy without thinking about it. At least I'm at work and have no food temptation, i know it must be hard to be at home with Snacks.

Haha. Just sent you an email. I have done great so far. Breakfast-chocolate Protein shake with banana/ice/vanilla soy/ff skim

Lunch: same as above but with a little cherry extract and a pinch of sf choc Syrup

I need a snack now though. I am getting hungry, lol. Maybe some yogurt :mad:
