Well I go tomorrow afternoon for my 6 month check up (2 weeks early) and I'm finding it so hard to believe that my life changed 6 months ago!! Where has the time went? When asked about surgery and the first few weeks out from it I'm finding it hard to remember is anyone else like this? Over all I am a more happier person since having this done and I can hardly wait to see what the next 6 months bring (and of course how much weight loss ) Kim

Thanks. i will have to try that. This has been my biggest problem since my surgery is getting in my protein. When I can start on solids I will get the unflavored and add that to my food. Katrina
