Topic: RE: Protein Drink......
Hi Sue...
Likewise, longtime no see. You look great. I hope all is well with you too.
I have been doing well myself, down about 80lbs. I am walking nearly 3miles a day now......and I love it....my 2 ****er spaniels tag along alos....I've started to stall abit...but that's ok because I'd rather lose it slower than some of the others. I also was told that my metabolism was slow....so it figures.
Some of my friends who have had WLS...are down 100+...but they all look sick. I also have a great team of docs that work w/me.....surgeon, nutritionist, etc.......
This drink is really yummy.and I have tried the strawberry, banana cream, chocloate (my Favorite) and vanilla.
It really is good! Hope those that need help with their protein will give it a try.

Topic: RE: found a downside to WLS...
Manda,
Don't feel bad. I took a sweatshirt to the pool the other day, and last night I had my husband get my snow-tabogan out of the closet, so I could sleep in it. He cracked up at me in bed with a little winter cap on. Although, I did just cut my hair even shorter than it was. You can see it here.

If you are worried about it definately call the doctor. Just as an fyi, I get the same comments. I am called skinny and constantly people say you are not trying to lose anymore are you? It really bugs me. I exercise 6 days a week at the gym. I eat as much as I can. I eat the right things, take all my meds and still do protein drinks twice a day. I have slowed down but still am losing 2 lbs or so a week. I have lost 150 lbs and 82% of my excess bodyfat.(Did you know that you are considered a medical success if you lose 70% excess bodyfat in one year?) My doc is not worried(just was there Monday) My nutritionist is not worried. She is proud of me. So just remember, you are not the only one to go thru this! Anyway I am sure you are a success also! PS I need to update my picture. I have lost 25 lbs since posting this one!
Topic: RE: I Never Thought I Would Say This....
Thanks for the advice...Yes I may have been considered a "lighweight" by some people's standards but not considering I am barely 5'2" tall...That was a lot of weight to carry on a small body. I have no idea what weight I should be at...I know that before my surgery my doctor had told me that his goal for me would be 150. And being called skinny does not necessarily bother me as bad as being called "anorexic looking" just when I start to feel good about myself and people start making it sound like I look "sick".
Topic: RE: "Plateau" or "Stall"----I hate them all
Ruth,
The more I exercise the more I lose. When I slow up on my walking, I stop losing. I also drink one cup of real coffee every day. I get my 3 protein shakes a day, but I don't get enough water in. I hate drinking water. I don't eat any bread or popcorn, but I do eat a little grits in the morning. Good luck!
