I survived to tell about It!

Hi to all of you wonderful people on the South of the Border Forum. I really AM south of the border! I just got back to the apartment after my surgery on Tuesday. I feel great. The day of surgery was wonderful. My only complaint was that I wanted to go shopping I felt so well. The second day was a little harder, and today is fine. So now I'm free to shop as much as I want. I met new friends and got to put faces to forum friends. I saw April K. and she is sooo beautiful. I met Dorothy and Molly and Brad. All wonderful people. We fatties are a nice bunch. I just hope we will stay nice when we're not fatties anymore. Right now I feel about 9 months pregnant and I'm DYING for a drink of water. But that will come soon enough. Rosella and Dr. Aquirre are incredible. What a gift they have! Well, I think I'll go lie down for a few minutes and then take a walk. Thank you all for your prayers. There wasn't even one moment of anxiety for me and I know that's because so many people were praying for me. I love you all. Jody

Hi, Jodi, I'm glad you're doing so great. I just send a message to Rosella to ask how to get started.....I want it now!!

Jody I'm glad everything went well and that you are feeling good. I'm really starting to get excited. So do us a favor and when you get back home tell us what you wished you would have done different so that we may learn. I'm talking about foods, clothing etc...

Way to go Jody! I am so glad everything has gone so well for you. I really prayed hard Monday and Tuesday. I hope you will let us know some of the things you wish you had taken, etc. so I can put it on my web site. It's just been 7 months since I was there, but it's amazing how fast you forget. I am really excited today. I have been on a sort of plateau for the last 6 weeks, only losing about 1 pound a week. This morning I weighed and I had lost 2.6 pounds since Sunday. I'm hoping the plateau has broken! Cheri
