oh, yeah, about the protein...i drink one of the isopure drinks each day--50 gms of protein. i've never been good about eating much protein anyway, i hope this is enough. does anyone out there know? good luck in november, forestcat! or, should i say, "break a leg"; i don't want to jinx you . eak.

dear forestcat, i haven't had any fills, yet. just the band has been enough up until now--CHOICES make all the difference with me. well, mostly. i am ready to get my first fill and see if i can speed things up a little. finding a doctor to do the fill has been a challenge; someone on this site suggested a dr. kelly in portland, oregon. i might try her. i would so like to find someone in seattle, where i live. if i can't, i'm sure the train ride to portland will be fun...a little vacation, a vacatiny. talk to you later, forest. eak.

hi, i'm 54 (barely), wheelchair bound (for now!) and losing weight just fine, so far. i had my surgery in canada on january 18, 2007. i don't know exactly how much weight i've lost (can't stand on a scale) but judging by the way my clothes fit, i've lost 30-40 lbs. (2-3 sizes?). ideally, i'd like to lose another 70 lbs., or so. two things drive me, 1) i want to stand and walk again, and 2) i want to be easy(er)to lift if it should come to that. oh, and 3) i want to be pretty, again, and 4) i want to look great in clothes, and 5) i want to be able to get down the aisle of an airplane without seat burns on my saddle bags (i use that little on plane wheelchair), and 6), and 7), and 8), and, and, and.... this is my first entry on this site. 'hi' :-).
