Hello Brandy. I read your blog and enjoyed it. Your wedding dress looks great. I have lost 64 pounds in one year. My weight loss is slow. I have went from 214 to 150. I am 52 years old and I think the age has to do with the slow weight loss, but I am happy to lose what I have. Seems like I lose alot in the legs, face, arms and neck, but the stomach and breast are going down very slow. I would like to go somewhere and get a fitting for a new bra. I have no idea what new size I would wear, because you can't try them on in the stores. I may go to Victoria Secrets and see what they can do.....Good luck and you are looking good. I will try to post some before and after pictures of me later. By the way, how do you post the ticker weight scale on your mail?....

I buy both the choc. and vanilla. I add 1/2 teaspoon of Peanut Butter with the vanilla and some crushed ice and it is like a milkshake. You can use the vanilla and add 1 pack of orange crystal light with a scoop of sugar free ice cream and it tastes like a dreamsickle bar. You can add any flavor of drink mixes and it works out fine. The unflavored you sprinkle on your foods and you will never know....I order mine online and it is delivered with 2-3 days. In the choc. I have even tried 1/2 teaspoon of Decaf instant coffee and it is like a mocha.

Thanks. I'll try that brand. I heard Oprah (so you know it's true!! :thumbup: ) say that Skinny Cow makes great sugar free products. I plan on trying that as well. I've GOT to get ahold of this before I'm back where I started. I'm trying to hold off until after Christmas to get a fill. I've got 4cc in a 10 cc band. What do you have?

I have tried the skinny cow too. But be careful and check the carb. content. I was suppose to go for a fill on Dec. 23rd but the dr's office called yesterday and changed by appt. for Dec. 30. And, as far as the size of my band; when I asked Dr. Tompkins he said I had the "standard". I don't know what cc's that is. I have had 4 fills and each time he puts in 1/2 to 1 cc. I am going to ask this time and see what I have.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
