Having problems with message search?
Hi Heidi,
I just passed my 2 year bandiversary; it
was 6/30/05. I lost about 65 pounds really quickly and the rest has been much
slower and more difficult to get off. I had to add in regular exercise at the
gym and really watch my portion size. I also was drinking lots of alcohol the
last year or so and we all know that is just empty calories. I have since
stopped drinking and will do that for the foreseeable future.
I remember that in the beginning it was
hard to get the protein shake down. Now I use New Whey protein drinks that are
premixed and give you 25 g. of protein in only 3 oz. of liquid. I buy them
online from www.bulknutrition.com to get a better price, but they can be
purchased at The Vitamin Shoppe too. I wish I would have known about them
before surgery because I could barely get down the thick shake I made with
milk/water and ice in the blender so I rarely got in all my protein those first
several weeks post-op. You might want to give them a try. They also come in
42 g. of protein but I’ve been told by a nurse that our bodies can’t
absorb more than 25 g. at a given time, so the 42 g. seems like a waste to me.
You sound like you have a great attitude
and that will help you so much in this process. Take care and I look forward
to watching your progress.
