Guest guest Posted April 8, 2006 Report Share Posted April 8, 2006 I started drinking these isopure zero carb flavored drinks today. I got them from GNC. They have a funny after taste. Also stocked up on the clear powder mix stuff. Just trying out different things before the surgery. Really trying to do the liquid thing to shrink my liver. Had sushi with my son today for lunch. It's pretty low fat for the most part. I found these single serving chicken broths in the soup section at the grocery store last week. 20 cals, 3 grams of protein and only 8ozs. Not bad tasting. I could throw a couple of those in my lunch box and take to work. It is an inspiratin to see everyone loosing weight. And I promise I will take pictures, too.

Guest guest Posted April 9, 2006 Report Share Posted April 9, 2006 Hi Ginger, What is the clear powder stuff?? I am being banded on the 27th and I need to start doing what you are doing. I havent heard anything good about the isopure! Kind of makes me not want to spend the money on it. Although I did order a sample pack from bariatric eating .com and it hasnt came yet. My liver I think is still fat!! I am drinking protein shakes during the day but I havent been able to lose any weight. Tammy I. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 10, 2006 Report Share Posted April 10, 2006 Tammy, I sure don't know why I'm losing wt. I'm eating chicken and yogurt and I eat a lot of chicken at one time. I lost 4# from my "personal worst" as I mentioned, while on a cruise if you can imagine. That stayed off, now I'm down 10 more pounds. I was shocked this morning when I was down 3 just over the weekend. Weekends are usually my worst eating times. My liver is probably still a fatso, too, but maybe a little less fat. Since I'm having the GB out, too, I am trying to be so careful. My Mom said we can reschedule my birthday dinner for some time after I'm on solid food. She said she's relieved there is one less "festive" meal to cook this weekend. Dad's BD is Friday; Mine's Saturday; and Easter is Sunday. She isn't too sad that I'm bringing champagne but I can't drink it - more for her! lol PD Re: Re: Tammy I Hi Ginger, What is the clear powder stuff??

Guest guest Posted April 10, 2006 Report Share Posted April 10, 2006 Hi, the clear powder stuff is just the isopure protein powder. It's not clear at all but when I mixed it it's like strawberry milk. I'm not crazy about it and I think it's giving me diarrhea. Or maybe it's just all the liquids and protein I've been doing. I was pretty good today. Just drank liquids all day except had a small piece of fish at lunch. Did well tonight then I started cooking. I can't cook and not eat. I didn't totally blow it but it wasn't good either. Lost 2lbs sisince I started doing the liquids. Leaving for San Diego a week from tomorrow. Need to get more serious about shrinking my liver since my BMI is over 40. Ginger > > Hi Ginger, > > What is the clear powder stuff??

Guest guest Posted April 12, 2006 Report Share Posted April 12, 2006 Hi Ginger!, I think we are all going to be BOOTY-LICIOUS!!!! I told that hopefully I will be able to come see you both when I get there on the 19th. I think this is when I will have all my tests done. You may be in surgery or just plain out of it but I am sure before you guys leave to go home we will see eachother. We need to take pictures for the board!!! Take Care, Tammy I.
