Karen, You are so sweet! I was checking out your stats and see thay you are kicking some major lbs! Good Job! It looks like at the pace we are going, the new year will find most of of at or pretty close to goal. Keep up the good work! Hannah

Hannna..... You look great. We all know we will someday be at goal, but it just seems it always takes longer than we want it to...You must be seeing things.....ROLLS??????.......Good luck. Karen RNY-6-30 288/191/145someday soon

Thanks Becky, I'm finally happy for the first time in many years. I'm a stay at home mom and am now actually considering going to work so that I can do something with all this extra energy. I read your profile and saw that you are knocking down the pounds too. Congratulations to all of us June-Bugs! Hannah

Thanks Twin! I just feel soooooo good and soooooo happy. I was so scared that when I saw a pic, I would look the same and be devastated. These are the first ones I've taken since surgery so you know I was SHOCKED. I didn't believe that I looked any different until now. WLS has changed our lives hasn't it? Keep up your good work. We seem to be hitting it right at the same numbers. I like that. Hannah

I never liked any of the protein shakes that everyone else does. Even the nectar fruit ones, I thought were disgusting, and could not gag them down. I found the Unjury brands, and they were the first ones I could tolerate. But now, I got some samples of the new Matrix Chocolate and Vanilla, and there is a God!!! Because not only can I drink these, I LOVE the chocolate one. They mix right into your water or milk, with no blender needed. They are not thick at all, and no nasty aftertaste. The chocolate tastes like chocolate milk to me. I have tried so many, and love this so much I ordered the 5lb bag, and drink it twice a day, every day. I get mine from Susan Maria at bariatriceating.com HTH Hugs, Ang ps..she also has the world best beef jerky!!!
