8/27/09 - Testing Protein Drinks

Aug 27, 2009

I had my upper GI yesterday.  All is well.    One more thing off the pre-op list.  I weighed in at Weight Watchers yesterday and lost 2 pounds this week.  Not too bad considering how little I tried.  I'm not using the plan, but I need a way to have my weight documented for insurance reasons.  I'm not bad mouthing WW.  I know many who have had great success with it.  I lost 60 pounds on it years ago and found it wasn't a hard program to live with.  The problem is when you have HUNDREDS of pounds to lose it's hard to stay on the wagon.

But the plan I'm using is to replace my breakfast and dinner with protein shakes and having whatever I want at lunch.  I'm hoping this will accomplish several things.  I will be able to lose weight to make my surgery safer and get my journey started at a lower rate.  (side bar --  does the journey start at pre-op or surgery date?  I'm going with surgery date)  Secondly, it will give me the opportunity to have a Good Bye Tour of some bad for me foods.  And lastly I will be able to experiment with proteins prior to surgery so I know what I like and what I don't.  And may I just say that these darn drinks have me burping like not well raised young lady should.  LOL  Using the samples before ordering the better value large tubs will help me from making some expensive mistakes.  Oh, I have also started taking vitamins.  I've gone crazy!!!  Good crazy though.

And lastly I should add I am beyond addicted to this website!!  Thank you to all the users who are helping me and don't even know it.
