Cool Judy, I love to read fun stuff like that and it is so amazing to compare what you"ve lost to somehting that is real. I have lost the fats and oils a person eats in one year. I bet I ate double that before the surgery. I havent done that since my surgery in Sept. and I feel like a new person. Good bye sugar highs and lows and addiction to diet coke. MY craving now has been fruit. Sometimes when I know I need to get more protien in I just want a piece of fruit and I have it , having a little hair lose right now but trying to do better. Thanks for the fun reading Ann Sonnenberg
