Hi Oakie!! Shirley here,
I'll touch on some things. First of all I had my Date with a Band on 10/31/06. You got it Halloween. So I am 21 days post op.
So,, since it's all new to me to, I can share what I no....
Get a good protien Drink. I go on ebay and buy the Muscle Milk Light.
I no it looks expensive,,, but, if you compare it to the health stores!!
Your gonna get a buy. 25g of protien vs. 195 in calories is great, and
it's delicious. I use that and C.I.B. but by the time you get done fooling
around , addind calories to the C.I.B.,, well you could be looking at about the same in calories,, but 10-12 in protien. You really need the protien for healing to. I am suppose to take in 80g of protien a day, and try to stay
between 700-900 calories a day. That's easy with the M.M.L., that's why I mention it. Stock up on sugar free puddings. They come in handy only 60 or 70 calories. They are great if you have to crunch meds. Mix them on top only, eat the pills "yuk!" then you can treat yourself to the remainder of the pudding. Get some cream of soups so you don't get to hungry, last
take it slow. It took a while to get this way, It's gonna take a while for it to change. Get back if you want.. "I have been born again, and this time, I will be a whole lot thinner!" Shirley. sstasevich@woww
