Just want to know...

where everyone is come on tell us what your doing and how much you have lost now....

Hi Shelly, I am here but getting busier since I had to go back to work today... Well let me see, I am now down almost 38 lbs since 6-1-05 and I have my next appt on 7-5-05 so we will see how their scale and mine compare. So far they are both close, except theres goes further in measuring... Biggest issue now is getting enough protein. I have the drinking licked and am getting enough fluids. I am going though the Protein Drinks taste like crap blues..... I have tried all diff kinds and so far the Atkins is the only one I can tolerate. I am drinking alot of milk to help compensate and so far thats doing good. As the weeks pass and I get to add new things I will get the proteins in better.... Other than that all is well and I am a certified loser with a Cap L.. LOL Gevin 6-1-2005 RNY 307/269/146 ish...

Gevin, Have you tried Isopure zero carb perfect Dutch Chocolate flavor? It's very good. The package says mix two scoops with 12 oz. of liquid and that'll give you 50 gm. of protein for around 200 calories. Instead, I mix two scoops with 8 oz. of 1% milk, then add in some crushed ice into a shaker. I take it to work with me and drink half in the morning and the other half at lunch or as a mid-afternoon pick me up. Tastes pretty good, with a rich chocolaty flavor when mixed with the milk. The milk also adds a few more grams of protein, as well as other nutrients, like calcium and vitamin D, among others. Good luck! - Beth

I know what your saying about the protein ... wow thats great on the weight loss.. hope all went well on the first day back..best of luck to you..

What's up Shelly???? For me it's 77 pounds since 2/1/05.....I'm happy with that....I'm hoping to get to my goal and for at least some of this skin to tighten up some...but I know from both my sisters experiences that it all takes time. Eileen

I'm so glad to see your post..I now know what your talking about with the skin I'm going to curves it seems to be helping a bit ... best of luck to you on this first day of summer..

Hi Shelly, I'm here lurking. I am recovering from hernia repair surgery, which ended up causing an absess in my tummy. Been in and out of the hospital since June 2, and am sporting an open incision and trying to get better. Went back today and had a huge needle inserted into the top of my stomach cavity so the doctor could drain off another 240 cc's of fluid. On a better note, had surgery Oct.26,2004, and am as of today down from 300 lbs. to 185, for a total loss of -115 lbs. Only 25 lbs. to doctor's goal, and 35 lbs. to my personal goal. I hope your journey is going well. Good luck and God Bless. Jenni 300/185/150 -115 lbs.
