I like the new pic Kat. I'm still trying to figure mine out again!

well I am glad that I still dump, that keeps me in check. I just hate the freezing part, but now I am starting to figure out that it is low blood sugar that is causing it, I can fix it. as for the 'gain' heehee I still get the giggles, I am dressed in so many layers now that I look like I did before surgery. my family disagrees, but I think that they lie

I am so sorry to hear about your laptop. That is aweful. I hope you had a good vacation and enjoyed the time spent in the states. I hope your new year brings great things and a wonderful new year. Carla

Ruth, The voice of reason! You are correct. The weight gain pre-wls would have been at least double and I wouldn't have been able to get it off. Lots of things have changed since then. It is funny (not really) how are brains are wired. It is the holiday season and holiday season means goodies. And now my jeans are cutting off my circulation But yes, it could be worse, so I will in my tight jeans and rejoice! Diane

Holly, G*D be with you through this surgery and through the recovery! I don't believe it's going to be as bad as you think it is. Because you are younger then the usual knee replacement candidate I think you'll have an easier time and also because you're no longer the Incredible Bulk that you were it'll be easier to get to the knee and do what they have to do. I hope you'll have someone keep us posted on your recovery or at least come on here once and tell us that you are ok, we'll keep praying for you no matter what though. Holly, may your surgery and recovery be quick, uneventful and a bit boring! Will you email me your address so I can send you stuff that might make you laugh? ANDI
