I'm 6 days post-surgery and I'm so excited to say I've lost 18 lbs since I started the liquid diet almost three weeks ago! Keep on coming buddy! I'm tickled about the progress so far. It's hard, and I'm hungry, but my appetite isn't what it used to be. I'm feeling great. We've been trying to walk every day (Mall walking because of the CRAZY amount of snow) and it's going very well. I'm not consuming as much protein as I should, so I'm going to have to up my game on that one. I'm also not getting my fluids in like I should. Definitely need to start drinking more, more, more.
I've been looking at different sources of protein and so far it's not too bad. We bought a Oster hand blender so I can make lots of smoothies and hopefully I'll have a little variety in my protein supplements every day. At this moment I'm drinking a very nice "Creamy Cappuccino" with 12 grams of protein and only 60 calories! Yummy! Looking through the catalog at a local "Protein Store" to see what strikes my fancy. They gave me lots of samples to try and most were good and some were just down right bad! If you have a need for protein here's the website - http://mydietshopz.com I've also heard that http://bariatriceating.com has a great variety as well.
Here's to seeing less of me tomorrow!
