Anyone drinking Ensure as a Protein supplement? I can't stomach the powders too well anymore and I have been drinking the glucerna hunger smart shakes - 15 grams of protein but 180 calories. The ensure ones have 25 gr, so I was thinking of trying them.

Good news is I'm down 52lbs total, 24 since surgery, 5 weeks out. Womp!

Congrats on the weight loss so far! I use Premier Protein shakes. You can find them at costco, Sam's, and I saw a small pack at Safeway/Tom Thumb - 30g protein only 160cal 5 carbs

Just thought I would share. I have been battling dry skin since surgery. No I'm not dehydrated but my doc told me this is just a side effect. I bought some pure Vitamin e oil and just lather it on after baths. My skin looks and feels amazing!

Great tip! I've been starting to notice. My regular lotion is no longer working.

I got a lotion made by palmers. I used it during my pregnant to help prevent stretch marks. It has Shea better, elastagin, and vitamin e in it. Seems to be working great so far.

I cleaned out my closet today. I got rid of over a third of it. I'm starting a new job on Monday and I have NOTHING to wear except for a few pants that I had. No shirts tho. I'm going to need to go shopping. I just don't know where to go nor do I want to spend a alot of money to just grow out of it. I'm not a huge fan of old navy and the Macy's and target we have are small. Marshall's and tjmaxx are awful here. I swear we get the stuff nobody wants from the bigger stores. Ugh. What to do?

My whine of the day... Lol

In my area, we have a high end thitft store, nothing but name brands, if you have one in your area that would be a start, why pay a lot for clothes you will grow out of...check it out.

I'm curious how long did it take before you decided to clean out the old larger clothes?

I cleaned mine out last weekend. I was approaching 65 pounds, and there was no way I was going to wear most of it. I especially knew the winter stuff I would never wear again. I have saved totes of smaller clothes as I gained. It is nice to dig them out, and at least have a start - even if many of them are more than 10 years old!!
