Hi Lora:

I am always have my 2 protein shakes a day.  I drink lots of fluids.  I love fish and high protein foods.  I was a dancer before and have been working out 2-3 times a week and try to walk other times.  I lost 30 pounds before surgery and 45 since surgery.  I just am listening to my body.  I may also have more to lose than you.  I feel amazing and everyday is better.  Keep up the great work and remember to clear your mind a well.  Don't reach for food if you are stressed.  Get out and walk or do something for you.

Good luck.

Joanne
