what a great idea! Thanks Lisa

Hi everyone, I recently found a really great protien shake recipe that I actually like. I don't enjoy the atkins or other premixed ones, they all taste too sweet to me or something, but this one is great - I really look forward to it. here's how I make it... In a blender add... 1/2 container Dannon lite/fit yogurt (any flavor) 2 heaping Tablespoons cottage cheese 1/2 cup frozen berries - (use the same kind as your yogurt flavor) 1 scoop unflavored whey protien - (I use "All the Whey" whey protien isolate) 2 packets of splenda 1/4 cup 1% milk - (this is just to thin it out a bit - you can use any kind of milk you can tolerate.) Puree for 60 seconds and enjoy! I really like this, it's a great breakfast. I found it helped with the plateau breakage as well, since it's something different from my ordinary routine. Good luck to all - Sheri Byrne

Hi - I am down 93 pound so far. I too have dizzy spells. My energy level is also low - I could sleep all morning. Any ideas ?? Thanks Michelle

Hi! I'm having the same experiences! I started at 252 and I'm now at about 190 -- I think I've lost less than 10 lbs. since mid-February & it's making me crazy!!!!!!! I know I've found I've been able to eat more than I thought I could & I need to be more resolute, but you get so anxious! I'd love to be down to about 175 by now, but I guess I'm still in the ballpark. Continued good luck to all!

Hi Dawn, I know being dizzy can be a sign of dehydration, but maybe you should call your doctor and run it by him and up your water intake. I was told that the plateau is just a way for your body to catch up to the weight loss and it should kick back in. My body goes two to three weeks of hardly losing then I lose a chunk and it seems to have been repeating this pattern since the surgery. Good luck and let us know how you make out. Darlene
