ok questions.... 45 grams of supplimental protien on top of the high protien food? as much of # 5 and veggies as we want? J

Elisa! You're looking great gal! How's your hubby doing? I know just how you feel in that new job. I've disclosed to a few people in my office what has gone on and they can hardly believe it. They understand that I don't eat much and when I go to a lunch out, I usually get a salad and cannot fini**** anyway. But try to get some protein on it and just eat as much as I can and stop. It's nice to be able to stop. Last weekend I went to a buffet with some family and fixed my salad and had a portion of roast beef and one cube of watermelon one cube of cantelope some cooked carrots and my brother was amazed at how much I could eat. I had to explain to him, it's mostly because the salad fruit and veggies turn to water, that portion of meat was about 3 ounces and so it was like a normal meal. I told him, I did really well..some days all I want is a cheese stick. I get in that restaurant for the child buffet. I really don't mind anymore. At first I would just pay full price and then hardly eat but you know....we deserve to not have to do that. They aren't losing money on me by anymeans. Anyway, Good for YOU! I know that it's a new and exciting environment for you! My best wishes for you.

Congratulations! These little wow moments just keep us going and make our journey worthwhile!

Hi Sarah! Believe it or not the same thing happened to me today! My boss sent me to Wal-Mart and as I was walking in a teacher I substituted about 1 year (or has it been 2?) walked right past me. I was the same way you were...too shy to just go straight up to them and get their attention. I was just amazed that I could have changed that much in appearance . I kinda wish I had said Hi though. WTG on your WOW moment!! Keep 'em coming... Elisa

Someone who hasn't seen me since 3 weeks after surgery (who I didn't tell I just had surgery) didn't recognize me! How funny is that? Yesterday a family friend and her two kids who I've known for years walked right past me (a couple of times) in the grocery store and just looked right through me like she didn't even see me. And me, being the person that hates attention that I am , didn't stop her either. I guess I don't want to have to answer all the questions that I know would come. Then I'd hear it from all those people that I didn't tell I had surgery and haven't seen since then... Is that wrong of me? Oh well. Anywayz... just thought I'd add my little WOW moment to the board since today is my 7 month surgiversary.
