One Month Post Op

Forty pounds gone!!!!! I had my one month follow up today and I am doing great! I did get in trouble a little bit because I haven't been using my protein supplements. She said my pouch isn't ready for me to be eating the amount of food I have to eat to get enough protein. She said "you have to be eating all day long", which I am. She said doing that is getting me in the habit of grazing, and it will hurt me later on. Meaning it brings down my chances of keeping the weight off when my stomach can hold more food. Sooooo.......guess I'll have to cool it and drink more shakes. I'm trying to find a good unflavored protein as well to add to my food and drinks. She also told me I need to increase my protein a little. My average has been 65-70 gms per day, and I am supposed to be getting at least 70, so she said I need to increase it a little. Overall, she was happy with my progress. Still very much a learning process!
