Guest guest Posted June 4, 2004 Report Share Posted June 4, 2004 I know Laurette, I'm in the same boat. I truly never thought I could " forget to eat " . I would hear people say that and laugh and now it has literally happened. I just don't really think about food and I don't crave at all (think this also has to do with removing Diet Coke, my husband is having the same experience without the surgery but with removing Diet Coke). It's a great feeling. And to think I'm in my 22 non-stretch jeans . Have this one suede skirt that I can't wait to wear out, should be in it any day now !

Guest guest Posted June 4, 2004 Report Share Posted June 4, 2004 I have never had a protein shake or powder . I do eat the occasional protein bar, and early on I could make one last all day. Mine (worldwide nutritional pure protein power bars) have about thirty two grams of protein each, so with little effort I felt pretty good about getting in my protein. Of course some days are better than others..... Helena (papa11h@...) Lap RNY 6/23/03 343/208/170 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 7, 2004 Report Share Posted June 7, 2004 Plus protein builds muscle mass and helps dramatically with the healing process. I fell about 4 weeks out from surgery and the wound on my knee healed w/in a week ... rather than the 4 weeks it used to take when my diabetes was active.

Protien eats fat, so I would think you would lose much more weight with the protien drinks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
