I'm finally off the 200's,

I can say Thank you God. I have my life back, my mind is not a battlefield any more when it come to food. I know what to eat and this surgery was my teacher and my tool to keep it off. I got on the scale today and it read 197lb. I'm so Happy

Wonderful

I had my surgery 4/12/05 and I'm only down 35 pounds. I get worried that I'm not loosing fast enough, but the doctor seems happy with the loss. I can hardly wait to join you at the below 200 mark. Keep up the great work.

Congratulations! I'm so excited for you. I'm waiting patiently for 200 to be a memory as well. Hopefully in a couple of months!

I too am glad for you. I am also waiting to get off the 2's. Hope you continue to feel better and keep loosing. I'd like to know how do you feel about the protein drinks, and drinking all tha****er? I am so trying to do it but it is so difficult at times. I guess that's why I haven't lost much more. Also I hurt my knees and I hardly exercise. What can I do? Take care and God Bless You/God Bless Us All!

Hi Lydia, I know what you mean about the protein drinks. I found 4 ways that I could deal with it! I use unflavored protien powder from Quixstar. I don't know if the brand matters or not. But, I put it in fruit smoothies, sugar free pudding and Carniation Instant Breakfast (no sugar added). The other thing I use are Energy Bars from Quixstar. They are low in sugar & fat and high in protein. I usually can't eat more than 1/2 a bar at a time, but they taste good & add protein. About your knees. Go to the pool! You can walk, jump, swim whatever. The water gives you resistance so it helps build muscle and it gives you support so it will be easier on the knees.

Hi Lydia Thank you so much for the support. I dont like protein drinks they make me sick. I get my protein from chicken,beef jerky, peanut, fish anything high in protein. I drink about 32oz. of water on a good day. I read all of the lables now, and if it's not high in protein I wont buy it. God bless Bridgette
