Well today was a day that I thought would never come. I walked Bloomsday (7.5 mile walk) The course includes Doomsday Hill and just a wonderful walk around Spoakane. My guys and I completed the walk in about 3 hours! I have the sunburn, blister on my toe and the T-shirt to add to my list of accomplishments. A year ago I never would have even thought about it and today I am amazed that am 170 pound lighter and more fit than ever before. The photos will be up soon and I hope to have a few to share with everyone. -Gerriann 170 pounds gone forever!

I have tried many of them but my favorite is the ODYSSEY triple protein bar in caramel nut . Our Walmart had them here and I lucked into them at Walgreens where they had them on clearance one week for .60 a bar.I usually cut mine in half and have one half a day (usually for breakfast) giving me 125 calories, 1 gram sugar, and 9 grams of protein to start the day !! I have also been trying the PURE protein bars ( with all those free coupons floating around ) and the sugar count and calorie count are right. My favorite is the STRAWBERRY which tastes very yummy,and once again, I cut them in half . My breakfast usually consists of 1/2 protein bar a day and then the other half as a after dinner snack. Hope this helps !! Kathy 280/153/160 (surpassed and still going ! YAY!) 5'10"

My surgeon told me that with him....it depended on if you had it done open or lap. Open is only stapled and lap people had it transected. I had mine done open and I have had no issues at all. Julie S. 265/153/135 5'3
