Wow Pam! Fantastic weight loss. Congratulations.

You're right... I haven't been to the Vacaville support group

meetings in awhile. I'll try and get back to one soon.

Protein drinks...I use to do them (at least twice a day) and I did

that consistently for quite some time. As you know, Richmond doesn't

like them. When I called Richmond saying that I was having chronic

diarrhea, the only question Dr. Baggs asked was " are you still doing

protein shakes. " I decided to stop them. My diarrhea continued but

has since stopped (it was horrible for 2-3 months). Breakfast is

hard for me. It's the first meal of the day and everything hurts my

stomach. Dr. Baggs prescribed some protonics (sp?) and that has

helped immensely but I still don't do breakfast well. I drink my

breakfast and I'm good for the rest of the day.

Chicken still doesn't sit well with me. It feels like a brick in my

stomach and I try to avoid it. Thigh meat is better than breast meat

because it is less dry. Hopefully as time progresses, I'll be able

to go back to eating more chicken. I eat more beef and dairy

products for my protein than anything else.

I'm going to pick back up on my protein drinks I think. I've started

a kickboxing class this last week and I need to get a few more

calories in so i'm thinking I'll add a shake after I come back from

kickboxing. We'll see. They do make me feel good and they keep the

carb monster at bay. Everyone has to do what works for their body.

Keep up the good work and I'll see you soon (at Vacaville). Are you

going to the next one?
