Hi Rhonda! If I'm reading this correctly, then it must be your birthday!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!   Have a great one!    Karen

Thank You Karen~ We had a big time! My Family (all the in-laws & nephews, great nephews & all the wives) were here! We have a new trend in our family on birthdays! it is not about "what we are gonna eat" it is all about the fellowship and closeness of our family! We are all so close, I am blessed to have the support of my family. BTW I am 49 today Honestly!
Thanks again,
Huggs,

Let's see.... 7 am - 1 chocolate HMR shake with a little sugar-free, fat-free chocolate pudding mix 11 a.m. - 1 vanilla HMR shake with 1/3 cup fat-free yogurt  and 2 strawberries and 1 banana snack - 2 dill pickles 2 p.m. - 1 vanilla HMR shake with 3 strawberries and a banana snack - 2 dill pickles 5 p.m. - 1 chocolate shake with a little sugar-free, fat-free chocolate pudding mix 8 p.m. - 1 vanilla shake with a banana, 3 strawberries, and 1/3 cup fat-free yogurt  Ok...I've only lost 3.5 lbs since Wed. and I don't understand why. Dr. Baker wil not do surgery if I don't lose weight during the pre-op diet. I'm scared that he'll say that I haven't lost enough on Friday when I go to weigh! Any suggestions? Should I leave the bananas out? Thanks a lot. Karen

Karen,  Don't fret,  I only lost 9 pounds, and he did mine.  I had a hard time w/the shakes, but I used banana all the way thru.  How much longer do you have to do them??   You will do fine, hang in there. Rhonda D.

Thanks so much. I talked to Abbey at Dr. Baker's and she said that I might need to take some fiber. I'm going to try that too. She said that some people lose 20-30 lbs!!!! What's the deal? I  normally don't have problems losing weight when I eat lots of salad and nothing else. Do you suggest I eat salad for a couple of days instead of the shakes?
