So definately a good week.
I'm not going to make it to my overly hopeful goal of being under 300 by the end of the month. There is no way in hell I can drop 7.5 lbs off in just 5 days.
Tomorrow I go to the Surgeon's office for my one month post-op appt. I'm very curious to see how he feels about the progress I've made. (I have fears that it's not enough, too slow, etc).
Then within the next week or two I need to schedule an appt with the Nutrionist I don't like. I'm sure she will be displeased to find that I haven't been getting all my protein in, but I'm not sure what to do when the minute a shake or protein bullet hits my lips that I immediately gag up what I've just swallowed.
I'm going to buy some more chocolate protein powder, because I have found that I've been able to do a milked down shake... one cup of milk to a 1/2 scoop of powder, with a 1/2 banana in there to cover some of the nasty taste. But doing it that way means, you don't get as much protein in. Still better than nothing.
I looked back at my food journal for the past week and I average about 500-600 calories a day. I'm honestly not sure if that is too low, high or on target, since the NUT never gave me calorie ranges to try to aim for. Just what size meals I should have. (1/4 cup serving of pureed protein 3x per day). Hmmmm

I don't know what they will say, but I think you are doing GREAT!!!!!!!
You are doing about the same as I was at that point. Have you tried the fruity protein drinks?? Something, you need to get that protein in for healing and your hair and body...
Anon - thank you very much!
Michelle - for me the fruity protein drinks have been the worst. I am still getting in around 80g's of protein a day, which is about 20 short of my NUT's goal. Somedays it seems no problem to get it in, other days it's impossible!
