The green apple is one of my favorites - kind of reminds me of those sour candies. The Syntrax Nectar proteins are all really excellent so am looking forward to trying the capuccino. Thanks Judy!

Sorry, the brand name is Syntrax. The name of the drink is Nectar Latte in cappuccino flavor.

You are probaly right on track. As we begin to take in more calories the loss does slow down.
Topic: RE: He says I've failed
I would say that 144 lbs is an incredible loss. You are 1/2 the person you were a year ago. Nothing wrong with that!!!! We all lose at a different rate. It is not ethical for a therapist to diagnos a patient they haven't seen. You are probably right on track. You will reach your goal. Although we all want to reach goal as quickly as we can (like 3 days after surgery, LOL), everyone loses at a different rate.
I agree you friend is jealous and probably threatened emotionally by your weight loss. All you can do is to take care of yourself. This is not the choice everyone can make and if your friend doesn't feel comfortable considering this surgery then don't talk to him about it.

The brand name is Nectar. I got it at bariatriceating.com
You won't be disappointed.
Topic: RE: He says I've failed
Wrong - I should've said size 16s today. NOT 14s. Though 14 is coming soon - I hope.
btw - don't see many people posting - so am flooding the October '04 board with my own postings !!!
Come on in - the water's fine!!!
Topic: RE: Biggest Loser
That show doesn't seem fair, in a way, because it 'seems' that men lose more weight, faster. I'm sure there are exceptions to that - (don't want to offend anybody.) The show is inspiring. More exercise is needed in my daily regime, that is for sure.
I liked the protein drinks prior to surgery - since then - no.
What brand is the capuccino flavor? - that sounds interesting and good.
Notice if I start getting more water in, the weight starts to drop, also.
Topic: RE: WLS and estrogen
Think I was peri-menopausal prior to the surgery. Since the surgery - think maybe the surgery sent me into menopause - hard to tell. But, I never had a period after the surgery - was going that direction anyway.
I think my migraines before it all started may have been related to hormones. Was prescribed a calcium blocker and the migraines stopped. I'm so glad that worked.
Not sure to take the estrogen or not. I'm not sure WHY to take it. What are the advantages? Need to get into the gyn doc.
Topic: RE: He says I've failed
Thanks M.G. - needed that.
Got a pleasant surprise today. I tried on a pair of size 14 jeans and they were very comfortable. Must've been 4-6 weeks ago I was able to buy a pair of size 16. Pretty soon its going to be a size 12. In fact, I didn't buy the 14s today because I'm thinking I'll just skip by them into the size 12 - I hope.
Onward and upward ! It's not over 'til it's over. (the weight loss - that is).
I wouldn't call going from a women's size 32 down to a size 14 a failure !!! Some days can't tell if my 'friend' is a friend or an enemy. Kinda' sad. Maybe he feels the same way.
Topic: RE: Keep posting !!
Yes - it seems the further people get out from surgery - the posting dwindles. I hope at least some of the people in the October '04 keep participating. I like to see how others in the same time frame are doing.
