PROTEIN!!

Today was the first day that I have gotten to 100 g of protein since my surgery on 3/29!  I hope this kick starts my weight loss again - I've been teetering the past 2 weeks!! 

Wow... 100 grams! Great job, sister!

I'm consistently getting 80-85 grams/protein... so you're doing way better than me.

I wish I could take my own advice here, but don't worry about the scale. You know it'll behave eventually.

Keep up the great work!

Well consistantly getting 80-85 is better than me!  I haven't been as diligent about shakes as I should be.  Some days I just don't want them!  Today helped b/c I drank 2 - so thats the only reason I reached 100 was b/c 60 of it was shakes!  Someone told me that if you can get in 30 g of protein w/in the first 30 minutes of waking up, that it will make it easier to get it all in & boost your weight loss...so thats what I did today :) 

And as for the scale...GRRR!  I swore to myself that I wouldn't be this way, but during the first month the weight was just flying off, it's hard to look at the scale not moving now!  Especially since I'm working out 5 days a week and not eating ANYTHING that I'm not supposed to! 

Oh well, these are the breaks :)

I understand!  My three week stall was hell! 

I *think* I may be starting another stall now... but it'll be what it'll be.

You've come so far in such a short time.  You got this!  :)

 Today, is my first day home!! And I can not get down hardly any protein.  I am on clear liquids for 3 days and I am sipping out of a medicine cup.  Were you able to drink all of that during your first week?

 I'm on a 4 week stall and I want to knock someone out, but I'm staying focused.  Weigh day is tomorrow so we'll see

 What did you eat to get to 100grams? Im lucky I can get in 50ish grams  4 weeks post-op!

I'm bad about my protein too.  I sometimes get my 70g as my surgeon insists on, but most days I get about 50-55g.  I just forget to eat still at 5 months out.  I just don't think about food that much.  I gotta get better.  I'm starting to see more hair in my hairbrush everyday.  I bet that's the culprit.  Also, I notice some dizziness a couple times a month.  Shame on me!!  I'm still losing consistantly.  No stalls yet (knock on wood).  I still weigh everyday too.  It just keeps me on track, plus I like seeing the numbers drop even by .2 or .4lbs.  As you can see on my weight loss, I have .2lbs to go til I've lost 115lbs since Oct 3, 2011..That's my tomorrow goal...
