Greeting
Hello all I just wanted to say hello to everyone here at AMOS. I hope all is well and everyone is in good spirits. I have been very busy with work and I started a new job on Monday and I finally have time to check the message board. It feels good to be able to check in with my WLS buddies. I have been doing ok, I am down to 175 pounds and am still sticking to my diet. I still can't seem to get in enough non-cal drinks (about 40 oz a day) but am working on it. For some reason the protein shake I have been drinking for months now makes me sick so I can't use it anymore, which is bad because I loved it, packed with protein (50gms), no carbs, no fat, low cals, great (ISO-Pure). I have a back up but it doesn't have as much protein All in all am doing good and thank God for my continued success!
Well until next time, take care

Hey Armena
It's so good to hear from you. Glad to know that all is well. Congratulations on your weight loss and your new job As for me, I am doing well. I started back drinking protein shakes (Iso-pure) and stepped up my exercising to help tone and scuplt these sagging muscles of mine I was on the BAF site and one of the members there suggested to use a supplement called Glutamine which helps in keeping down some of the excess skin. Its a form of amino acid which is good for the muscles. You can get it from GNC. I may give it a try, but I will speak with my surgeon first.
Anyway, I wish you much continued success in your journey.
