Happy Valentines day to Everyone!

I just wanted to wish a Happy Valentines day to everyone. I am doing ok! I am watching people eat candy and cookies and everything you can think of. It is going ok though. I just keep on thinking of the future and why I did this. To keep away from that type of food. Well, just thinking of everyone on this big TREAT day. Good luck to everyone. Laura

Happy Valentine's Day everyone!!! UGH I hear ya on the candy, it was so hard being around it all day. I did good though. We should be very proud of ourselves!!!

I went out to dinner for my first time since surgery on 1/24/07 and it wasn't too bad at all. I ordered Halibut with veggies in place of rice pilaf and was not able to eat too much. I allowed myself about 1/4 of a piece of bread with herb butter that was out of this world. Even though I could not eat much, it was a real treat! I was listening to people all around me at this fine dining place and as they were eating until their hearts content, they were talking about going on diets also. I sat there thinking about all of us that have undergone the surgery and felt mighty proud of ALL OF US. We will prevail and we will be so glad we did this in the long run. Here's to US
