It's ME
! SO as you can see I've been pretty busy the last few weeks.
Well I had surgery May 9th and I am down about 43 lbs so far. NO Im not getting in all of my protein and NO Im not getting in all 64 oz of fluids....but I do try (except for the protein drinks). That is the one thing that I HATE about this surgery. Prior to surgery I could stomach them, but a couple of weeks after WLS they literally make me sick
...I have tried so many different kinds thinking that would help and it doesn't matter. I have even tried to psych myself 
into thinking that it was something else and that doesn't work either. So I have resorted to getting my protein in through foods. I am a big fan of BEANS now 
(which is weird because I never liked them before) and I eat cheese and peanut butter and eggs and ground turkey and skim milk) So if there is one thing Im failing at... it is the protein (the most important...)
How is everyone doing...WINGS...TAMMY....JAN C......KRISSY......and all those I missed?
I have been watching BIG MEDICINE. Next week an OH member TheShrinkingDawg will be featured. The show is actually pretty interesting. I wished they would show the ins and outs of post op though.
I guess I will sign off now....so what have you been doing? 
I just wanted to congratulate you on your weight loss! You are doing so great! I can't wait until I can be doing good also. Sounds like your doing every thing right, at least what works for you. Keep up the good work
Hey Sis....So good to hear from you....WOW your right you have been pretty busy!!!! Sorry to hear about your friends divorcing! That is never a easy thing for anyone to watch...... CONGRATS ON THE WEIGHT LOSS!!!! I know what you mean about the protein shakes....I done them with no problem but since surgery I have a few problems with them....Now I shake ice when I shake them in my shaker cup and it chills them real good and it's a lil easier that way..... As of this past saturday I had lost 26 1/2 pounds since surgery, that was at about 12 days. Then with what I lost before surgery it puts my total at about 81pounds!! I have been so excited...my pants are starting to get baggy but I don't care I will just wear them that way for awhile!!!!
Well I hope you dont wait as long to check back in with us...I been missing seeing you on the board!!!! Don't over due yourself and take care...drop a line when you can....God Bless you...BIG HUGS....Tammy H.

Dear Chante, I miss you. No wonder we dont get to talk much anymore-between the two of us-I think we catch ourselves coming and going. After I sent you the email and didnt hear back from you, I started to get worried. I will send you another one and we will try and get some protein that works for you!! Maybe something you havent tried yet?
You can go to Bariatriceating.com and click on requests-and you can request 2 free samples of protein powders-and they will send it out ASAP and you will have it within a week-so go in and check that out and see if there is something you would be interested in trying. OK? And-dont overdo it-I dont want you getting run down and sick!! Congrats on the weight loss-WAY TO GO!!! You should be very proud of yourself. I am!! I love you girl-I think of you often and I pray for you and your family daily. Take care and dont wait as long next time to pop in and say hi. We miss ya. Love, Wings
