Topic: Tooting My Horn!
I thought I'd give you all an update on my progress.  It's been awhile and I thought you all might be interested.  Nah, actually just tooting my own horn here and you get to listen to me brag or whatever you want to call it.

I started this journey on October 17, 2008, my 53rd birthday.  Had my surgery on Feb. 11, 2009.  I weighed this morning on my home scale and I am so happy to say that I have lost almost 57 pounds now.  Everyone who sees me notices it immediately so I guess that it's showing.  I am down four clothing sizes since I began this journey in October, so I know the weight is not there like it was.  I am so happy about the loss and hope that it continues that way until I get 90 pounds off like I want to.

Thank you all for listening and hope that you are doing well and losing or maintaining each day.

Happy Weekend,
Carol

Topic: RE: Cravings
Carol -

Cravings are normal - usually it's head hunger.    Lately - my little craving has been bacon.. someone walked by my cubicle with a warm sandwich with bacon and I swear the smell made me feel like the puppy in the "beggan strips" commercial!!!      They were lucky I didn't leap over the wall and drool.  ;-) 

As you get further out you'll find you can 'taste' many of those things you crave (once you discover you likeliness to dump - so start small just in case).     When the PB craving**** me I was able to satisfy it with a PB flavored shake.    Someone on the message boards recommended the PB2 powder that is essentially a peanut butter powder.   You can mix with water and spread, or add into foods.

Breads STILL don't sit well with me - so test the waters very carefully.

Thanks, Jack.  I appreciate your two cents worth!  :-)  This is a journey and when I feel, think, experience things I like to check with others who might be going through the same thing I am.

Thanks again for your help and input.

Carol
