We finally have our answers as to why I was sick so much and feeling cruddy all the time!!! I had my gallbladder removed Thursday evening. A Cat Scan Wednesday night confirmed I had numerous Gallstones. When my surgeon was taking the gallbaldder our Thursday, he found I had a stone approximately the size of a half dollar lodged in the corner of my gallbladder that neither the CAT Scan or the ultrasound picked up. I cannot believe how much better I feel even though I just had another major stomach surgery. I had some soup last night and some yogurt this morning and neither hurt my stomach and I did not get sick!!! Now I can concentrate on getting back to losing weight!!! Thanks for keeping me in your thoughts and prayers. -Michele

I would be a hybiscus flower............. I just love how big and graceful they are.......

I would definately be a sterling rose. Roses are gorgeous, smell wonderful and the color on this is so beautiful! It's like a silvery lavender. Shades of purple and lavender are my favorite colors so it just goes to reason! Kim R/az

Kimberely, Someone once said, "You can't please everyone!" Just know that you are in charge of your life and you have taken control of it and done a very good job. I do understand where you are coming from though. I had my surgery in January. My mother is severely overweight. She was denied for the surgery so that's another issue. She and my grandparents keep telling me that I did it the easy way and my mother's weight loss is the hard way and that I should admire her for it! You have major surgery and see how easy it is, I want to tell them! I did this for the same reason you did though, for my health. That and the fact that I was starting to get concerned that I wouldn't be there to watch my children. Now I know that this way is just as much hard work as any other way! You still have to have a healthy diet and exercise with the surgery so in fact, we work twice as hard! Good luck to you and I hope they see you for you and all of your hard work that you've accomplished. Marla

Hey January Jumpers! How's it going??? This is such an awesome ride - isn't it? Since May is supposed to bring flowers - here's a question for you. What type of flower would you be if you could choose just one? Tell us why... I would be a lilac - the lilac is a beautiful shade of purple and smells heavenly. My sense of smell is very keen so the scent of lilac reminds me of a fresh, springtime morning. Barbie 281/229/150ish
