Hello,

I am 5 weeks now post op on my bariatric gastric by-pass surgery.

I am feeling good.

This is very definitely a low carb program. It emphasizes protein. I make sure that each day I do consume at least 80grams of protein. Right now, to do so I need to have at least one protein shake a day.

I found one that I truly like: Premier Protein Shake.

My weight was plateaued for a week. This morning it finally started moving again; 246 this morning and heading for the 230s something I haven't seen in over 20 years.

Best wishes to everyone during this holiday season. Please be safe. Slow down in bad weather driving. I am simply amazed how some people can simply speed right by at speeds in excess of 55 on shiny wet roads with the temperature hovering at or slightly below freezing. This is a recipe for disaster.
