how is your excercise.....? I had my surgery March 25, 2010...Lost 26 lbs so far...I'm feeling great...Even though the scale doesn't move as fast....My clothes are saying something different....You may be loosing inches a whole lot more than you think..... Try to stick to a routine workout process at 30 minutes/5x a week.....Also try to remember keep you meals very simple....Write down everything including the ketchup you use.....You have to be patient...Your metabolsm maybe a little slow because maybe you are eating more carbs than protein and vegetables.....REMEMBER PROTEIN AND VEGETABLES ARE THE MAIN THING WE SHOULD BE INPUTING more so than carbs....And if you get hungry in-between....Try decaf beverages, protein shakes, smoothies and fruit and also try your hardest to keep your snacks under 100 calories....GOOD LUCK....HOPE TO HEAR SOMETING POSITIVE.

hey missy don't feel dissapointed I had also been feeling that way because I had surgery on Jan 14,2010 and I have only lost 27lbs since iam also at 6cc's but I am not feeling a lot of restriction the dr has told me that once I am at my sweet spot I will start loosing faster. So don't feel discouraged loosing 21 pounds since March is a great acomplishment , some people loose much faster than us but it may not be so healthy so stay focused and be patient. good luck Chachis

Have you tried Muscle Milk yet? I took a road trip to Austin last weekend and I forgot to pack my chocolate Whey Protein mix. I have to tell you that the chocolate muscle milk is pretty good. You can buy it in 20 grams of protein or 25 grams of protien. The other good thing about it is that you dont have to buy a pack of 6 and waste your money if you dont like it. Most convenience stores carry it in the refrigeration section and you only have to buy the 20 ounce bottle.

If you dont like chocolate, they also have a couple other flavors. :)
