Making sure I added my ticker.....and to say I went to Dr. today and I am 103lbs down and 10 sizes, 24 to a 14, from 8/21/08!! Yay me!! I lurk mostly on here rather than post but have found answers to countless question from these boards!!
My advice is if you haven't already bought the book, life after gastric bypass, buy it now. It explains all about the plate method and how much protein you need a day. I have been doing that and making sure I take my vitamins and drinking a ton of fluids. Tons of fluid!! :o)
