You have all had such nice things to say and have given me some new ideas to look into.... Im making calls today and taking names!! Hopefully i can find out if a "revision" of sorts if an option for me. Thank You again and I am enjoying all the info on this site it's been very helpful.

I'm a little late on the response but I've just started back with incorporating a protein supplement once or twice a day in addition to my meals and my weight has just started coming off again. I was told for my 5'7" frame that I should be getting about 85 grams of protein a day so that is what I am striving for. I picked up some great protein at Bariatriceating.com (Matrix - makes the best hot chocolate and it mixes with water, achieveone like a cold coffee and protein delite - I like all their flavors but the chocolate coconut is great). They also have a rock'n'rollin protein bar that is high in protein but a lot lower in calories than the ones you can buy locally. Since incorporating my protein I have dropped 7.5 lbs in a week where I hadn't lost anything in many, many months prior to that. Good luck. Protein rocks.

OH so glad you updated us DELORIS! glad your doing well and best wishes for a healthy beautiful grandbaby! HOPE to catch you in chat again soon! love ya lisa xoxox

Hi Laurie I am very happy for you.... It sounds like everything is working out for you. I was wondering how long the whole process took.
