Call your doctor. That is my only suggestion. My surgeon talks about this at the start of our meetings and the only advice I can offer is to call your surgeon and tell him/her about your concerns. You started off at what would be concidered a "lightweight" by most standards. What should your weight be for your height and age???? For instance by all calculations I should get down to 154. My surgeon told me last week that he thinks if I got to that weight I would look like a skeleton. I weigh 184 right now. I want to get down to 170. I am in a 10/12 pants, shorts and a large sometimes medium in shirts. If I did get down to 154 who knows what size i'd be in. I mean that is 30 pounds and 30 pounds means something now. Being called skinny doesn't bother me cause I don't believe anyone anyway so I just dismiss it when I hear it. Shannon

Hello September buddies....For those of you still looking for a good protein drinl....well, I recently stumbled on a new protein drink which is already mixed in a can and is 35 grams of protein/12oz can! It comes in vanilla, chocolate, strawberry, banana, etc...and is absolutely delicious! It's called "Worldwide Pure Protein Shake". The best I've tried yet! Steel
