Sorry I haven't been on here but I just now am getting back to being myself. My surgery went a bit haywire. My pouch popped a stitch and somehow I ended back in surgery. Things got bad enough i became septic and my kidneys and bowels shut down. I'm told they lost me on the table but once i became stable they put me in an induced coma for 3 weeks. this was a freak happening. it was nobody's fault. but God isn't done with me yet so here i am. if you have any questions please feel free to ask. i've been home for 2 weeks now. i spent almost 3 months in the hospital. i've lost 50 lbs so far though!

I found some new protein shakes that taste good and blend up very well I ordered them on line because you can get sample sizes for $1.50 each. They are called Nectar . The flavors are Berry Cherry, Apple Extaceyy, Carribean Cooler. They are mixed with H2O. They are not very thick. The web site is WWW.Wlssucess.com. Hope this helps Lori S.

I had my surgery 5/13 so far I have loss 56lbs. I am interested to know how other women are doing. For women who have lost more than I have, what are your secrets? I am exercising daily and I do drink water.

I was at 62 lbs. at 7 weeks, it looks as though I hit my first plateau. I unfortunately had not done much walking for 3 weeks. I since have started walking 1.5-2.0 miles per day. I go back in mid August for my 3 month check up, I'm curious to see how much the walking has helped! I go through my closet about every 2 weeks and remove some clothes and re-claim some old ones! The only problem that I have had is that I kept my G-tube for 9 weeks. That was a huge relief to get rid of that thing! That's it for now, everyone take care.

Oops! I didn't think it was posting my reply. Boy, was I wrong! Sorry about that.
