I lost over 50lbs TOTAL, since surgery, 33lbs :)  

Find out and learn as much as you can, but if you really want it, don't back down because of fear. I was terrified, all for nothing! It's the best thing I've ever done! 

Vitamin Shoppe sells it. There is one in Dedham. I LOVE the Roadside Lemonade flavor.

My scale hasn't moved since at least October 1st.  I'm slightly disappointed but I know that I need to make some changes.  I'm working on getting more protein but it's difficult.  I'm also not exercising as much as I should.

Hopefully things will pick up for the both of us soon

Good Luck!

 Hey Tania!

Thanks for your response!  Wow, only a month out and you've already lost 51 lbs?  Good for you!  That's so awesome!  

Like I said, I'm still 6 months pre surgery so I'm going to be going through lots of what if's, and want to find out as much as I can just so I will have an idea of what I may be going through :)

I'm with you on not wanting to test out dumping! I've had a couple of really nasty episodes (I think it was from something I ate) and I certainly don't want to go through that if I don't have to!

Thanks so much again for your insights and help!!

Thanks - Nice new picture yourself.  Mine is a little dark, that's what happens when no one is home and you are in the mood for a new pic and you do it yourself holding it at arms length LOL.

I think I needed to say it out loud and get a kick in the ass from everyone to remember it is still early and I need to be patient.  Thanks for your input!
