I would be very interested Kathy to find out your results.  I was wondering about doing the same thing, but then I also realized that I could be making better choices too.  So I will start there, and go to plan B if necessary!

Martha, you rock!

I hear you Martha.  I really believe that I"ve been eating well and getting in my exercise, but I haven't lost a darn thing.  I'm very frustrated.  So I've decided to have a metabolic test.  It will tell me my resting metabolic rate and how many calories I should eat to maintain (or lose) weight.  I'll let you know how it turns out.

Thanks.
I have already invested so much time and energy in this! I am exhausted. I can't wait until my appointment with the surgeon (just under a month now). Hopefully at that point I get a date and can at least plan the rest of my life lol.

I use muscle milk light powder, simply smart or smart balance fat free milk, 3 ice cubes and I add a half a packet of crystal light drink mix and blend it in my bullet blender.  It is really, really yummy.  Just like a creamsicle!
