Thanks so much for responding, I have started taking my b12s every other day instead of once a week. I think the ones I bought were not enough milligrams. Thanks again to both of you. Lynn

I hope all of you Mothers had a wonderful day yesterday. My daughter made me breakfast, and I spent several hours with my mother. Melissa

And actually lost a pound! Went on a cruise to the Bahamas with some friends. Wonderful - warm and sunny - but I was worried because I ate more than I usually do. But weighed myself and I had actually lost a pound - must have been from all of the swimming we did... It was quite strange a couple times - they are constantly taking your picture - I still look at my picture and don't recognise myself at first - guess that it will take awhile.

Hi Toni We are all buddies on this list and no one here is perfect. If you read some of the older post we all go through something. Just have to get back on the horse when you fall off and keep riding. I guess you can tell I am a Texan. If you want or need to email me feel free to do so. I think we are reaching the stage where the hunger is coming back. I know I am slipping on the water. I am a tea drinker. I know I am getting 64 oz a day but 50 of those oz are decaf tea. I tried the protein bars. Some taste good others ugh!!! Then I looked at the calories in a bar and said I would rather have food. Some people can make it off the bars others are like me and want real food. I still do the protein drink at 6:30 in the morning. I have to because if I don't it will be around 10 or 11 before I eat. Then I wouldn't stop. Any and everything I saw I ate. That was my biggest down fall. I went from 5 in the afternoon until 11 the next day before I would eat. I kept my body in a straving mode. So I do the shake, and it helps a lot. When I do eat around 9 I am not reaching for anything. Protein first, and cheese has become my snack food of choice but you have to watch the calories in that also

I am almost 5 months post-op. Actually tomorrow it will be 5 months. I have lost 115 pounds in that time. I went from a BMI of 70.2 ( I think) to 50.4. I can not believe how much I have improved in such a short time. I have posted a more indepth update in my profile, if anyone is interested. I will have a picture taken tomorrow and update my profile picture. Hope you are all doing well. Take care Erin
