Re: Laurette/Protein Train

[Guest guest]

Thanks . I will have to try that. Of course I won't do it for any more

than a few days but it sounds like it's something that will work. We did it

right out of surgery and it worked then....lol. And yes I was referring to

your upcoming surgery. I can remember how excited I was and nervous all at the

same time. Was running around like a chicken with my head cut off, trying to

get everything done at work and home. Trying to get legal matters in order

(just in case) and church stuff too. Well everything got done and on time too.

Hang in there and good luck. Will be praying for you.

Hey Laurette,

There is another message board I am on for wls and weekly it seems

they have what's called a " Protein Train " they do it for I think 3

day's and its suppose to jumpstart your weightloss again. If anyone

is at that stop in weightloss they are asked to hop on board for the

ride. We might need to start something like that over here too.

I'll get more details as the week goes by but it seems to help them

and some have lost loads of weight in short amount of time.

Hugs, in AL.

Laurette,

I'll be sure to tell you everything. I just emailed the girl who

started it this morning so maybe we can find out together. But what

I saw so far is all they do for three day's is totally all protein

and water.

Yes I know...I am counting the days and its one week from tomorrow

for surgery...that's what your talkin' about right...LOL!!!

Hugs,

Laurette any others interested in the Protein Train,

This is from another WLS message board....they say this works...

This is what it is...first thing to remember is we all do it a bit

different but for the same reasons... number one is to defeat the

carb monster...aka carb cravings, ... number two is to jump start

stalled out weight loss...also there is some thought that is the

pouch is stretched it will shrink... i dunno if its true or not.

protien diets will cause you to go into ketosis (remember the

optifast diet) you loose fast but its not a really good idea to do

long term, hence 3 days is pretty common as a goal... now this is

what I do

i drink my morning coffee... yes i am a caffeen addict....

then the rest of the day i do nothing but protien shakes water

crystal light or some sugar free flavored water... the first day is

hard but the second day and third day are pretty easy to me... then

on the 4th day i start adding things like a scrambled egg with

cheese still protien but food along with my shakes... then as time

goes on i get back to a semi normal diet i never totally stop my

shakes as i totally believe in them even though my dr does not... i

will keep a daiily post of what i do that day so folks can follow

and see what happens ... i have a girl friend in ohio that is

joining me on this but she never does shakes she does just food...

so i am compairing notes on how we both do...

s interested...

She had written me about it and I copied and pasted it. Hope it

helps. I know I am keeping it for future reference.

Hugs, in AL.

Oooooo, like the Stillman Diet, my mom used to use it all the time

while she was modeling, good for very short periods of time. I should

do that tomorrow through Friday, that would kick start myself a little,

thanks guys!!!

Laurette,

They only do it for short periods...like several day's to jumpstart

weightloss again. From what I have read its like maybe once a month

or when other's join and need help. They all do it together and

share problems also. I think a group effort would be splendid cause

we are all in it together...well I will be soon...LOL!

Dang I have been going around with my head cut off trying to be

superwoman when I know I can't. I've been freezing dinner's for Don

and getting stuff cleaned, moved and cleaned and moved again...LOL!

We also had an 11 yr old ADHD and other wonderful problems foster

child for the weekend and he gave us a run for our money ....

GEESH...where did his energy come from too! He ate more than my

husband and myself put together. And he's a little beanpole too!

Oh well...its over this time...LOL!

Hugs,

Hey gals,

I am absolutely interested in the " protein train " , I think with the vitamins

and for only 3 or 4 days it wouldn't hurt to try. I don't have a scale at

home (I would break them before I had my surgery), so I have to wait till I

get to the Dr to check my weight (don't shake your head). I just really need

to loose the weight fast now, because I need to have a Hysterectomy and they

won't do it until I've lost " enough " weight...
