Bourngorno Paisanos, well as you all know im off to Aruba tomorow morning and i just wanted to post everyone on this board a BIG THANK YOU ! ..there is so much support on this board its unbeliavable, so much information..we all come from differnt parts of the country, we are differnt races, backgrounds and religion but its so great that we all suport each other. last year at this time i was in the final tages of my journy..the date was set, the nutrionist was done, the shrink was almost done..i was down to the wire. i was so nervous but coming on the boards and reading being a lurker helped me so much..i learned to open up my fears and i put my mind at ease about having this surgery. Aftethe surgery as most post-ops know its horrible so many emotions and changes and pain.but thanks to you guys i saw i wasnt alone. seroiusly if i can help any one out with there journy please feel free to contact me. I have met so many wonderful people here on this board and i am forever grateful. for their advice, friendship..well my one of my dreams is coming true tommorow i wanted to be thinner my next time back to Aruba and i am ! {BIG SILLY GRIN} so ill catch you all next week when i come home ..have a great week.. God Bless America watch her troops...ARRIVEDECCI BELLAS AND BELLOS ((HUGS)) JoAnn

JoAnn Hello~~~I'm so happy for you---ARUBA in 3 weeks!!! I know that you will have such a good time. You will be sitting by the pool sunbathing and drinking those drinks with the umbrellas in them. You have to take a pic of you para sailing---dreams do come true with the help of WLS.

Hi JoAnn, at our support meeting last month the nurse brought in this protein, it's called Beneprotein. She mixed it up in several ways, in some food, in juice, yogurt, etc well It has NO TASTE and it's NOT gritty either! It is not super high in protein, but when you can mix it in nearly everything I think it's a good choice to consider. You can only get it online at: http://www.walgreens.com/store/product.jhtml?PRODID=374089&CATID=100672 God Bless,

JoAnn I just got to say I LOVE your posts. You are always so insiring and just reading your words gives me great encouragement. Keep up the good work. (Man I can remember size 18 I think I was in Jr high). I stick with 5x sweat pants and t-shirts now. Thank God for my job as a dog/cat groomer...That allows me to stay in sweats and t-shirts but I can't WAIT until I can wear jeans and nice sweaters again! Thanks again. Keep posting. Jamie
