Hello All, I am trying to put together a cookbook of WLS friendly recipes. If you have any that you just love and want to share could you please email me at [email protected] THe recipes can be for anything drinks, desserts, baking, entrees, appetizers, snacks. Once I have this compiled I will have it printed off and bound. I will them be selling them for the price of the printing and binding. Or I will be able to send an electronic copy via email if someone is interested in it that way. I am not looking to make a profit just to help everyone in the WLS Community have more variety. So please share your favorites. THanks in advance, Alison

Tina, I am so very sorry to hear of your loss. I totally can relate to the stress eating, unfortunately I think that most of us can. I think that you need to just take one day at a time and face each struggle as it comes. Try not to forget about YOU, and how much you have struggled to get where you are now. Your father must have been so proud of you for doing something that would not only better your looks, but your health. He would not want you to have to struggle anymore then you have to. Just try to think of him at peace. A year is a long time to struggle with an illness and you can be proud that he was able to do that. My prayers are with you hun. Stay strong and love yourself, as your Dad would. Hugs Tina

Hi Betsy, Thank you for your kind words. I agree that we all lose at different rates, but I just felt that it was reallyyyyyyy slow. lol. I am making some changes today and starting anew, so hopefully I can get my body back into the losing mode. I have thyroid disease and my Dr. says that it is much harder to lose when you have this problem, so I am happy with what I have lost. I will keep you posted on my results from my new start. Thanks again for your response. Kepp up the great work. Hugs Tina

Hi Esther, I will join the Sunday weigh in. You are right, I think I really need to just start over. I am going to make a new start TODAY! I am going to make a protein shake as soon as I am done responding to all the posts . Thank you for making me feel like I am not alone in all this hun. I really appreciate your kind and helpful words. Kepp up the great work, you look great. Hugs Tina
