Have a couple of questions

[Guest guest]

I had an Open RNY 8/3/2004 and am 2 weeks into 3 weeks of pureed food.

My doctor's nurse said the more protein I get down the faster I will

lose the weight, but the paper they gave me says to eat just 4-1oz

cups of protein per day. Which means that if I eat cottage cheese

which has the most protein I get a whole 12 grams of protein per day.

And they specifically said to eat different kinds of protein which

would make that slightly less.

Does anyone know what they are talking about. Should I drink a

protein drink and not count it as a meal, but it does add calories

which I am not suppose to increase at this time. When I ask I don't

get a lot of answers I am going to the doctor for my 6 week check up

next Monday and I AM GOING to take a list of questions that will be

answered before I leave but I am confused as all get out right now.

Another question. When I graduated from high school I weighed 115

pounds and wore a size 5 to 7 depending on the manufacturer. When I

began to put on weight in my mid 20's and I reached 140 pounds I was

wearing a size 14 - 150 pounds it was a size 16. Have they

drastically changed the sizing for clothes in the past 25 years or so.

I remember in 1969 when they sized down all misses so if you

previously wore a size 16 you now would wear a size 14. I hope so I

like the idea of wearing a size 8 again with out getting down to 115

pounds.
