Hey. A little late but better than not posting at all. First of all I have been doing better with the fluid intake than I was and I am happy for that. So far I have tackled vitamins and medication, and fluid intake. I have been maintaining I go from 163 to 169 but I want to go further towards 154 where I was for awhile but then I stopped weighing myself regularly and "fell off the wagon", then I noticed my clothes feeling a little snug and went back on the scales again. This weeks goals vitamins, meds, water, water, water, and I want to incorporate atleast to begin walking or doing some consistent movement for 30 minutes a day for atleast 3 days a week. That is my new goal. I have been also doing Carnation Instant breakfast with high protein milk. I didn't do protein shakes or drinks before but I am going to start now. Any good ones that I can drink without the milk in them. I can only hold down the Hood milk but any other milk gives me stomach pains. You guys are my only source of support and I hope you all reach your goals for this week and also for long term goals but one goal at a time. Annette By the way Mary you look great. I love the new pic.

Wanda, Please feel free to drop in any time to post. No rule that it has to be on Friday. I just normally have time to post the thread then and I like being accountable on Friday verus a Monday. (less pressure on the weekend ... LOL) Great news about keeping up with the vitamins protein water etc. Take the food a bite at a time and you will get that in control too. Mary

Ive been terrible at everything. No exercise, not enough protein, and junk galore. Its very hard with school to want to do anything but sit on the couch when I get home. I lose all motivation. I still get all my water in. I have to find the motivation to walk 1/2 everyday...AHHHHH!! Im losing my mind. sarah

Mary, I hadn't put two and two together until now, but my eye sight has not changed any since my surgery. It seemed that my vision got just a little worse each year since turning 35, but my in the last two visits (years) my eye sight has not changed at all. I never thought about it possibly having anything to do with my weight loss, but what you say makes sense! Thanks for sharing yet another good thing that has come from this wonderful surgery! Wanda

Yes, it is. Thank you. I updated the one on my profile too (the after one). The photos were taken on a cruise we did in Jan 06. I was very pleased on how they turned out.
