Hey Laurie!!!

Hi there.... Its about 19 days since surgery and I'm doing well. I've had some challenges along the way, with food mostly. I've had some dumping issues, with dairy mostly. Which is allot of our protein in the beginning of the diet. Which has made things somewhat harder. I keep plugging along and hope that it will correct itself soon. On the good note, I have lost about 15lbs and I measured a week ago today and I was down 23 inches overall. That is incredible. I LOVE IT.

I am able to fit into the clothes I've had hidden in my closet.

I start back at work tomorrow and I'm a bit nervous as it's so much easier at home to rest after you eat something that doesn't agree with you, so I'm hoping I can find something to take so this won't happen.

so that's about it for now.... talk to you again soon.
