My starting weight was 286 lbs, my highest weight ever. My surgeon wanted me to start a liquid protein diet. I am on 1000 calories a day, doing 2 protein shakes and 1 meal consisting of a lean protein and a vegetable or salad. I started the diet on 10/29/10 weighing 285 lbs.

My Weight Loss Must Haves
Single serve blender - my preference is Magic Bullet, but I sold mine and got a GE one from Walmart that so far works very similar. This blends the shakes so they aren't so gritty. You can also use them to chop ice and makes it like a Starbucks Frappucino.
Nestle Decaf Instant Tea - makes for a great treat when you just can't handle any more water.
Sugar Free Hawaiian Punch Singles - my husband took a sip and asked, "Are you sure these are sugar free?" You are supposed to use one pouch per 16 oz disposable water bottle, but I find that's too strong. I use one pouch in my 24 ounce sports bottle and would have preferred one per 32 ounces.
