Oohh I love edamame!! Awesome way to get your protein and I never thought I

would like soy beans LOL sometimes I just have them with a bit of lite soy

sauce and thats my lunch.

-- Carmen-this is what I've been eating

So I'm 8 weeks out and this is what I have been able to eat in the past 2

weeks without getting sick : carb control skim milk, Hunts snack pack

splenda pudding and gelatins, lowfat cheese, sushi without rice, shrimp

cocktail, scallops, soy nuts, hummus, 's chili, some soups, edamame

(soy beans), fish (sea bass, tuna, tilapia, flounder) that I poach in the

microwave, baby spinach sauteed, mushrooms, filet mignon 3 oz., smoked

salmon (nova), fresh pears, apples, crushed pineapple in it's own juice,

baby carrots, small amount of fresh ground unsweetened peanut butter, boiled

peanuts, almonds,SOBE Lean diet mango melon, and occasionally a few small

prezels or crackers when my stomach hurts or is nauseous, and the things

listed below. Everybody handles foods differently though. Today I hit 229

down from 269- I am grateful. I don't get very thirsty. I still struggle to

get enough liquid in. I have been walking at night, and doing water aerobics

in the morning almost

everyday. It really helps. Hope you are well.

From the beginning I couldn't handle the bulk of the protein shakes so I

started slowly eating 2 of the snack size 4 oz. Breakstone's or Light 'n

Lively's cottage cheese (comes in a 4 pack) each has 11 grams of protein. I

also got Dannon's Light'n Fit Carb & Sugar control smoothies (comes in a 4

pack in red bottles, make sure not to pick up the wrong color bottles

(different color- different product)! The smoothies taste fabulous, and have

6 grams of protein, 2.5 grams of fat, 2 grams of sugar (Splenda, yeah!) and

only 4 grams of carbs. I drink two usually. They come in strawberry-banana,

and plain strawberry, and have real fruit. I hope this works for others as

well as it has for me! -8 weeks out and 40 pounds slimmer!

can not get the water amount in. With thrush

still will not take a protein drink in. Any

suggestions?
