Need Food & Protein Advice

[Guest guest]

Well, I am officially up 6 pounds. I don't dump, and have been eating

lousy (carbs, sugars, etc.) I wanted to get back " on track " , but had a

really busy few weeks. Now, I am ready to sit down and " map out " my strategy

for success. I am iron deficient, low on protein, and coming up for

thighplasty, brachioplasty, and breast lift (all at once) on August 28th. I

ordered some protein from , which has arrived, and have started

taking carbonyl iron.

I'm not sure where to start. Should I do more than one protein drink

a day? Do I count it as a meal? How many hours do most of you wait between

meals? (I've been hungry about every 2-3 hours) Is that normal? Anyone

willing to share their " normal " food intake with me? Thanks for any help or

advice!
