Topic: RE: Protein shakes?
Carolyn sorry to hear that you will have to undergo treatment. Hope you do just fine you are strong(you would have to be to have gone through with the surgery in the first place). I am almost 11 months out and still suppliment with not shakes but protein puddings. They seem to go down better and are not bad to taste. I generally eat at least 2 if not three a day each one having 20 grams of protein. My food intake is not the greatest although getting better. I wish you the best with your treatment and continued success with your weight loss. Have happy holidays. Peg

Hi Becky,
Thank you for your encouragement, I am proud of myself. Not sure when but I may have weighed this in elementary school or preschool(exaduration) but I can't ever remember seeing these numbers... Sure feels good!

Well let me tell you, you look great. Your post made me feel better, I like you think I look great, but on occasion reality slaps me in the face and I have to accept that despite it all I am still obese. But you know what for the first time in my life, I do not care. I know I have a final destination and I am enjoying the trip to it. Even at 217 I feel sexy, cute, pretty, all the things I never did before. I guess thats what matters. And again let me say, you do look great.

Hi Carolyn!!! I had lap rny on January 15, 2005. I have currently lost 110 pounds and need to lose between 20-25 more pounds. Although, many people have told me that I look fine now. I'm only 5 feet, so I think I'm still too heavy for my weight and according to the BMI calculator.
I am still on the same diet that I was on since lap rny which consists of the following:
Breakfast - Protein shake = 70 grams of protein
Lunch - 3-4 oz. of chicken or fish
Dinner - same as lunch plus a small tossed salad
My surgeon says no snacks, and I'm never really hungry anyway. You may want to definitely increase your water intake, I drink approximately 130-140 oz. of water per day. Are you also take vitamins and any supplements? I'm taking 2 multi-vitamins, 1 B-12, l,500 mg. of calcium,
18 mg. of iron, and also still taking Biotin twice a week for nails, and hair.
I'm still exercising, and have currently been working out at 24 Hour Fitness. Prior to that I have a treadmill at home.
I will keep you in my prayers, in regards to the treatment you are receiving. Take care of yourself and remember that we are always here to listen and support you!!
Have a blessed Holiday Season!!!
Aloha, Pat

Topic: RE: Am I the only one?
You are definately NOT the only one. So far I have lost 125 pounds but I am still in the 200s; 259 to be exact! I was beating myself up recently because someone who haven't seen me in a while said that there was something different about me and I enthusiatically stated that I had surgery. She said when a month or two ago and I said no, almost a year ago and she said, "oh". That made me feel really bad because to me I look great and feel even better but to other people I am still a "big fat pig." I had to make up in my mind that is there cross to bare; not mine.
But I want to send you an encouraging word that the only one in this race is you. Wear your blinders and don't look around at others. Run your own race and in the end when you can look in the mirror and give yourself a wink you will be the real winner.
Take care all of you losers and keep up the good work.

Caroline, I had surgery a week after you. I still do 2 protein shakes a day. I feel better when I do. I admit I eat a bite or two of potatoes now and then, cannot eat pasta I 
. I try and drink at least 60 to 80 ozs of water a day, its hard. Don't tolerate some meats, chicken and pork 
Try drinking a couple shakes a day and see what happens. Can't hurt. Keep your chin up things will get better.
