Hi Dawn! To answer your questions, I think that drinking a protein shake a day and trying to hit about 70 oz of water or fluids a day, helped tremendously with my weight loss. I have definitely had plateaus, but I just kept up the protein and the fluids and I broke through. I never did the plateau diet, although I know of WLS people that have and its worked for them. I see plateaus as a way of the body resting, catching up...from losing a lot of weight quickly. As far as the Vanilla Very Berry Protein shake that I like to drink I have found them on the following websites: (I buy mine at bariatriceating.com) www.bariatriceating.com www.scitecnutrition.com www.vitamindeals.net For the Sobe Leans- I like the Citrus flavor (but they come in a diet green tea and mango flavor), I have found them at: Food Lion Harris Teeter Shell Gas Stations Exxon Gas Stations BP Gas Stations I will definitely have to post more pictures of myself before and after on my profile. Thanks so much for the compliments, Dawn. I know that you will have tremendous success too...just wait and see! Email me anytime if I can answer anymore questions. Hugs, Kate

THANKS SO MUCH MS KATE ... I COPIED YOUR ENTIRE MESSAGE INTO MY WLS INFO FOLDER! WE CAN'T DO THIS WITHOUT THE HELP OF OUR WLS FRIENDS, THAT'S FOR SURE! GOD BLESS DAWN & NICK PS: NICK ASKS IF YOU SPOKE WITH YOUR FATHER REGARDING THE MISSING BELL IN ROTA, SPAIN?
