    Re: Loss Of Objectivity

    The brain is a funny thing, I am almost 3 years out and I still don't see the "new" me. I am hopeful that eventually it will catch up with the rest of me.

    Best of luck to you!

    I use fat free, sugar free jello and puddings to flavor my shakes. The possibilities are endless. Everyone has to find what works for them.
