I use vanilla and chocolate body fortress. a two pounf tub costs about 13 bucks at wal-mart and target. both taste o.k. I use the vanilla for my protein smoothies. mj

Hi Shari - I liked the Unjury....www.unjury.com - I used to buy the chocolate and vanilla and would mix it with the milk and then freeze until slushy state...ummmm good! It isn't too expensive. Congratulations on the birth of your son - glad he is doing ok. Good to hear from you again...Barbara

Hi Friends, First of all, I am so so sorry I dropped off the message board last July. My son was born 7 weeks early on 7/24/07. He did amazingly well and only had to spend 10 days in the hospital. I have really missed all you Marchers and can't wait to find some time to read recent posts and catch up on everyone. I have no excuse other than working full time, having 3 children, and just plain old running out of time!! I miss all of you and the board. On a weight loss note, I dropped down to 186 after the baby which was my lowest weight. I'm back to 208 AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! I saw my surgeon for my 2 year check up and he reassured me that really isn't too bad and we have a plan to get back on track. After having an EGD earlier this week, it was discovered that the opening to my pouch is much larger than it should be. I'm having sclero(sp?) therapy to have the opening narrowed back down. This should help cut back on the volume of food I can eat. I feel like I eat way way too much. Hopefully between the procedure and getting back to basics I'll shed those gained pounds in no time. Take care and I promise to check in more often. Oh, can someone remind me where to go to change my signature?? It has been so long I am lost on here and I don't know if my pregnancy ticker is still showing!! LOL!! Hugs, Shari

Look at that baby belly!! Just gorgeous, Trish! How is little Makenzee feeling about another baby coming in to the family? Is she ready to be a big girl yet?

Well it's me again, Trish! Sorry for taking so long to post, but i am in baby land over here! I am currently 24 weeks pregnant, 16 more weeks to go! YAY! I have gained 14 pounds so far. I hope I dont gain too much, but a healthy baby is what i'm after!! Baby Austynn Sofea (named after Austin Texas) will be arriving via c-section between September 9th-September 12th. They will pick a day within those few days depending on the OR's availability. My babies never want to come out so i'm sure I wont go in labor early. Things are going great so far. My labs are fantastic, I feel great and Austynn's nursery is just about done. It's all western cowgirl theme. It's GORGEOUS!! All I need is my little cowgirl to arrive. I never thought my life would turn out like this especially AFTER having my tummy tuck, but God has different plans for everyone! I dont regret it for one minute. I tried to upload a few photos of my belly, but i'm not sure they went through. I use them on my baby board and they are all different sizes and some didn't want to upload so they may or may not be there. GRRRRRRR!!! In any case, I hope everyone is doing well! I miss you guys! I do have to come back often to check on things...=) Have a great Memorial Day everyone. XOXO
