Guest guest Posted November 1, 2003 Report Share Posted November 1, 2003 Well hello Trina! You have come so far. I'm really proud of you. Doing the protein does more than jumpstart weight loss. It really gives your ole liver and filtering system a break because it's predigested protein and they don't have to work so hard all the time on the high protein diet that is filled with complex meats like steak and the like. Also, it's very hard to get in all your protein with this operation if you don't do protein shakes. Atleast I can't get it all in without them. A palm size of meat is about 7 grams of protein. A proximal needs to be getting about 70 grams or so. I shoot for 80 to 90. It's so GREAT that you found some protein shakes you like. I was so happy today, I got my samples on friday, my hubby tried two and liked one. I was like THANK THE LORD! lol. To keep you from grazing, try to increase your meals. I notice that you just have like 3 meals down...you should be eating 5 small meals a day. I eat about 5 or 6, I listen to my body. If I feel the need to " graze " , I go make some raw veggies up and it's amazing how my grazing tooth ends lol after one piece of celery. Now if that were crackers and stuff, I'd have eaten the whole plate. Just a thought. It works for me about 70 percent of the time. Also, sunflower seeds that you have to actually crack open. Sometimes that helps during those times. Sometimes gum helps too. Don't worry about not getting a distal. You are doing fantastic. You already are learning what is important to do and are ahead of where most ppl are at. I am a proximal and I'm at goal. I only got to goal learning and keeping an open mind and listening to the ppl here on what works and what does not. So keep the chin up. Also, I encourage you to read this about the adjustments of your pouch and your body concerning your vitamins: www.bariactricsupplementsystem.com I'm encouraging you to read that one section of what your body is missing since you got some of that stuff inside you rerouted. The vitamins you are taking aren't going to cut it long term. Even if you do not get these vitamins, please please read it and go for vitamins that are better for you. You will notice a difference I promise . We just can't necessarily take the same stuff that normal ppl take. We not only malabsorb most things we put into our body but certain things were bypassed, leaving us with no way to get those vitamins even out of a regular vitamin. I only point ppl to that page not to force the vitamins on them but because it has all the info compacted there that I think is relevant without being too much info to take in. You are doing great hun..keep up the good work and always strive to learn more about your health. Sometimes surgeons don't know it all in that area...this is certainly a great step for you to have come here...learn from all the folks it's really valuable . Have a great day.

Guest guest Posted November 1, 2003 Report Share Posted November 1, 2003 Ahh ok I remember now what I was thinking. Was a palm size that you would normally eat of meat to equal what you should have..which would be about 4 oz (not grams) = 4 blocks of protein in the zone for a meal sitting. Thanks for mentioning that..I'd probably have caught it later in my rereading scratching my head on why I said that lol. I have a hard time eating meat so I don't do it often. I stick to canned tuna and chicken, some seafood, and some really tender chickens when I do.
