Hi Patty,
I am not sure I will have time for dinner as I need to get back home for the kiddos.  Maybe next time!!!!  Glad I will see you at the support group.

You look wonderful!  Congrats on your success!!!

I am still shocked at the weight going so fast. 18 pounds in a week. Crazy. I called the nutritionist to ask about it, and she said it was a good amount lost, that my protein is acceptable, not great but pretty good, and that it makes sense that I get way overfull on a cup and a half of carnation milk. Keeping it to a cup for now. Generally speaking, I am thrilled with my results so far.
I have discovered that one of my true loves is still here, and that is cooking for my family and friends. I REALLY still enjoy it, and dont feel deprived or sad when I cant eat it, just tickled that I can make healthy good meals for them. Im sneaking in some lowcal better quality dishes here and there, from recipes Ive neem collecting. It is fun to know soon I will be able to eat with them normally. A week from today I SHOULD move to soft foods, yay for variety! I asked about my desire to exercise again now, and they said not to pu**** they suggest SIX weeks before I get on it again. That is way long, I miss that routine of physical exercise early mornings. I got her to agree that light weights and treadmill isnt a bad thing lol. All in all, Im doing pretty well. One thing I hate is the constant gurgling after I eat. wow, annoying. But if thats the only real price I pay, then bring it on. :)  PS Im not ever hungry. EVER. Its very strange

I  will be there!!!  Will be good to see you!!!  Want to do something to eat after!!!  Anyone else interested!!!

Yay, good luck and you'll be on the loser's bench in no time.  Hope it all goes smoothly, update us when you can :-)
