First, I would check with your Dr., but I know there are things that are for a quick boost available at the drug store. I would try a small amount of juice. Just enough to raise it quickly.

Hi kiwiladydee! If you need or want to go to the ER, it's no ones business, not even your husbands. It sounds as though you have been through a lot in your life. With what you have been through, if you feel you need to be seen, by all means go! I am a Registered Nurse (retired) and I worked Urgent care most all of my career. It's better to go and make sure than to wait and have unpleasant consequences.

I wonder if it doesn't have something to do with having less padding? Just a thought. You might think about a Chiropractic adjustment.

My surgery was May 1, 2012

I know I shouldn't weigh every day, but I have been wanting this so badly and now I have finally made it! 50 lbs gone as of today!

My gosh! How horrible and insensitive! I would be hurt and angry! Everyone has their own individualized experience. To compare you to someone else, especially when she's never had health issues is just down right malicious and mean.

Kiwiladydee, I don't have a recipient for protein pancakes. I order them from my bariatric pantry. They come in separate serving envelopes where you just add water. They are really tasty! I highly recommend them!

Same here! Our sisters sound an awfully lot alike. I too, have been the fat sister for almost 40 years, and I think it's just that she wants to be the smaller one. It is so stupid. We're both married, live close to 2000 miles apart, and really, I wish she could just be happy that I'm getting healthier!

I take the old fashioned one a day multiples. The little round red pill, and also B complex and CAlcium.

My goodness! I'm so sorry to read about this. Gosh! That's one problem I don't have. What about using one of those inflatable donuts? That might help, albeit a temporary solution.

Panda, I'm totally there with ya! I just have one sibling, and she is the same way. Doesn't ask, doesn't care. I don't know about your sister, but I think with mine she just doesn't want me to be smaller than she is. Really sad, to realize that's how unimportant I am to her, But I know I have all of my friends here for support. I'm here for you!

Thanks ladies! You all are the best!

I don't think it should be a problem. They usually start melting as soon as they hit your tongue.

What protein bar are you referring to?

Boy! If that was true, I would put my husband on a starvation diet!

I sometimes wonder if I'll ever get out of the twos. I'm still in plus sizes, but I'm down to a 16 in plus sizes, from a 22. My arms look hideous , just rolls of fat flab, and my thighs are gross too. Just down today. It'll pass. It is so stinking hot and humid here too which I'm sure adds to my sunny disposition.

You're doing well chaotica! I know what you mean aboutno support. My sister in Az. Has not one time asked how I'm doing, feeling, nothing. She didn't want me to do it either, just like your friend. We're fortunate to have all of our friends here.

Very cute little doll baby!

Vamp, you are amazing and an inspiration!

Pre surgery --- 283.4 Surgery. 5/1/2012 Last week -- 238.8 Today's weight. -- 236.8 I'm not losing fast, but, I am losing. :-)

I went in on Tuesday morning, had OPEN revision, went home on Friday and was at my granddaughters dance recital Saturday night.

I bought some of those cracker chips and they are good!

For what it's worth, I tend to have those problems, too. I bought Uncle Sam cereal, and a half cup of that with some coffee, and I'm on the move again. It has both fiber and protein. You might try it. It worked for me.

Does anybody besides me find it almost impossible not to drink something when you eat?

I'm not losing at warp speed either. :-(
