Congrats on your successes!

this recipe sounds delicious.  I am going to try it next week.....I already went shopping for this week.

I would love to join your support group, but I thought it was on Tuesdays....I am super excited it is on Wednesdays!  I will see you there!  I go to PMRI and St. Francis on the first and second Monday, but the more I can go to the stronger I feel! :-)

Lots of ups and downs. Look at your wow list.  Awesome.  I took the other road and told the world. I keep telling my story. I love to see the look on people's face when I show them my pre-WLS pic's. 

What an encouragement you are to others. Stay focused and positive and contined good health. 

Funny I felt the same calmness on Surgery day. I knew I'd made the right decision for "The rest of my life.". When I woke up in recovery I wasn't hungry and still feel pretty much the same way. I now eat because I know I have to,

Funny,  I smile so much now sometimes my face hurts.

Funny I gave back my stolen airplane seat extension.(I was embasassed every time I traveled, so I copped one.)

Even with complications I have always heard the same thing. "I would do it again, no regrets."
