Hi guys, I know I am going to get slammed. But maybe that is what I need to get going. I read the post's of everyone walking a 100 miles a week (not really a 100!!) And I feel so ashamed of myself I have lost 94lbs since surgery (10/13/03). I know I should be exercising and watching what I eat, for some reason I just can't get the motivation to do it! I feel great, so I know I should get off my dead a$$ and do some walking or SOMETHING. I always make excusses for not doing it. Now, I am pretty good about the eating. I stay away from bread, high fatty food and sugar. Does anyone have any motivation suggestions? BESIDES the obvious; this wonderful gift I have been given. Is there anyone else out there going through this? Thanks Renita 323/229

My brother was scheduled to WLS surgery today. Dr. Yancey cancelled it because his blood pressure was VERY HIGH. (Good Doc). However its like he's back one step, and working very hard to get that pressure under control enough to have the surgery. What can he do to get it down enough to have surgery next week. Has anyone out there experienced this. PLEASE GIVE US INFO...it is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance...God Bless

Thanks Blessed I read the bottle and it said that you could put it in your favorite recipes but it didn't specify more than that. I will do a search for Susan Maria when I get home. Thanks and have a great day!!!!!

Ms. Rikka, You may want to talk to Susan Maria about this, she has mentioned it before on the main message board. The protein breaks down if it is boiled or cooked, I think you can add it in after the coffee is brewed but I don't know for sure. Maybe check the main obesity help library on this subject too. Blessings to you on your journey.

Hi fellow posties, I've been mentioning this group a lot lately in posts on my other groups. Have tried to get some of "our" sisters/brothers to join this board, so don't be surprised to see some new faces. Hope so anyway. Sandra 317/210/175
