I agree totally. Lots more color in my closet too. I think our mind finally accepts that we don't need black or navy to look "slimmer" cause we are really slimmer than ever before!!!! Mary

Yellow was always my mom's favorite. Since I have lost weight, I find that I have a number of yellow shirts now in my closet. Mary

Julia, We ordered a new sofa for our formal living room. It is a light jade green. Never had anything green before. Can't wait for the delivery to be made. Know it will look great. Right after we ordered ours, my girlfriend ordered a new sofa too and she also got green, just a tad darker than ours and a different style. She had never had green before either. Mary

Jill, If you are getting enough protein a day from food, you really don't need the bars or shakes. My surgeon wants me to have 75 to 125 grams of protein a day. Many people post-op need to supplement their protein intake with shakes to get enough protein grams in. Mary

Julie, I always make my protein drinks with water. Never seemed to make a real difference to me in taste whether with water or with milk, so have used water from the start. I knew lactose intolerance was a possibility and have dealt with it twice in my life. Funny how it can come and go. The Nectar drinks are good. Mary
