lowe1956 0 Posted December 4, 2008 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?.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lowe1956 0 Posted December 4, 2008 It is Unjury....My mistake. It is a Protein Drink that you can order. It comes in vanilla, chocolate and unflavored. It has very very little aftertaste. You can even get Soup mixes also. They have their own web site too with many recipes. My doctor and nutritionist both suggested very strongly to use Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lowe1956 0 Posted December 5, 2008 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
displaceddiva 0 Posted December 6, 2008 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? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lowe1956 0 Posted December 6, 2008 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
