Hi! I had surgery Feb 25, 2009, so far I have went from 279 (259 at surgery) to 208. I have stalled fro a couple months and just can't break that 200 mark.

It is great to hear from a fellow Feb bander!

I have tried lots of protein drinks, unjury and Nectar. My center had me do betterMD for the liquid diet. I thought the betterMD was bad until I tried the others after. It really was good and thick like a milk shake. The best I have found for the $$ is the EAS protein that I buy at Wal-mart/Sams Club.

70 lbs and change down since my pre op visit four days before surgery. Edema has all but killed my wl. Although the scale has stopped, I'm still loosing inches, above the knee anyway. My size 8p jeans are loose and I credit killer cardio and body sculpting routines. I'm shooting for a six 6p by November. When I need a boost I try on clothes and guess how much longer untill I drop a size.
