good evening everyone

congrats on going to the next step.6 pounds is good.hope you did not gain 3 of it back on sunday.Dr lin put me on a 1200 calorie diet i lost 6 in those to weeks.I realize how much junk i was eating when i had to count the calories.I tried counting before but it was too much for me with the measuring and counting that goes with it.this time i told myself it was for the surgery and i had to do it no matter what.I was so affraid to go over i was doing between 800 - 1100 a day

swanzetta, i certainly hope i didn't but after i went to the bathroom today (tuesday)i think i might have lost a couple more pounds. sorry to be so graphic. i haven't really started counting calories but will be trying that in a week or two. just been watching my portions right now. tammy

Tammy You are on our way. I wish you the best on the smoking. I had to quit also. I did use prescription thta insurance didnt cover but I got it anyways and it worked I have been smoke free since June. Wow almost a year. That is so wierd to me right now that I just thought of that. But anyways you can do it and were all here for you

kelly, congrats on your upcoming year on not smoking. i called my dr. but haven't heard from her yet. if that doesn't work i will try the health dept. . thanks for the support. tammy
