[playboysgirl08]

You look amazing!!! BUT.. just out of curiousity, how can one fast and still get protein in?

Keep up the good work..you are a role model!!!!!

[dmerkle5]

thank you!..i said in the video to still do the protein..like still do your shake or your protein bullets ( i do the bullets) and that would be the only calories you take in...i guess "fast" may not be the right word...no food, just protein, lol...xo

[milkchocolatebiggy]

I thought you were always beautiful but it really is shining through now - I had my lapband surgery in August and I'm too embarrassed to say how much I've lost - let's just say next to nothing. My love to you and your little angels!

[dmerkle5]

hey hun! thank you so much! i am so sorry you are not happy with your band surgery!..i hope things pick up for you!!!!...thanks so much for your support!

ooxoxoxo

[SarahWillBeSkinny]

One of my friends got lapband in November, and she's going through the same thing... She's only lost about 20 lbs and she's getting very discouraged. But she just had her 2nd fill. But you have to find that "sweet spot"... and lap band is a little bit slower in weight loss. Don't get discouraged milkchocolatebiggy, it'll happen! :)

[blkericia]

wow you look so skinny, 11lbs in a week is amazing. girl you will be getting in the 200's

very soon congrats. take care:)

[dmerkle5]

yay thank you hunny!...skinny....i love that word,lol..xooxoxo

[ladyblue3]

Congratulations on 11 pounds! That's amazing. You are hardcore and all of your work is paying off. You are doing awesome and there's no doubt you'll be at your goal before you know it. I'm crossing my fingers that the 200s come for you real soon.

[dmerkle5]

aw thank you so much, i am crossing them with you, lol!..i am so ready to be there!..xoxoxoo
