It's Saturday Roll Call...........

Good Morning All................. I rarely do a roll call. Let's see if I get a fantastic response. I made it thru Thanksgiving dinner just fine. Was only able to eat some shrimp ****tail, a bite of turkey and a piece of broccoli. But having my family and friends at the table was great. No one had anything negative to say about me not being able to eat MORE. I am down 85 lbs since May. Not as much as expected, but Dr Wynn keeps telling me IF I EAT MORE...................I'll lose more. Sounds strange saying that. Feeling pretty good most of the time, and am off all medications. I was taking 5 differant meds. JUST for blood pressure alone. What do I plan to do with this small mint $$ that I used to spend on meds. Why, I'll use the extra $$ to buy new clothes. I put on some of my former pants and look really silly. Plan on getting a little shopping done today, and getting a manicure. Hope everyone else has a great weekend. Bonnie S.

Bonnie sounds like you are doing well. Glad you enjoyed your Turkey day! Good idea to take the $$$ spent on drugs and put it to use for clothes. I understand about pants looking silly. I still wear the sweats from my big days as I call it. Unforunately I haven't found sweats that I like in my size...One day right. I see you and Joanne had the same idea! Great minds think alike! Happy Saturday to you! Debbie

Bonnie, I know what you mean about the meds. I was on 9 before surgery and now I take 2. I can't seem to get off blood pressure meds yet but I have that to look forward to as the weight comes off. I know I can never get off the thyroid meds so I will always have to take them. Hope you get lots of bargains and nice clothing today. See you lighter. Joanne
