Carol -

You look fantabulous!!! Those cheekbones are fantastic!!! If I had never seen you before, I wouldn't believe you'd ever had a weight problem.

I hope that this new year will be a good one for you and your lovely children.

Thanks so much for the update and sharing your lovely photos.

I hope to hear from you more during the new year.

All the best,

Barb

Hi Carol, Nice to meet you... I'm a newbie since you last posted so I'm glad to see you back here.  Don't be such a stranger!  Great pics...

Hi Carol! So good to hear from you again and to see you even lovelier than the last time!  You are doing a fabulous job!  Please be sure you get in that protein that your body needs to stay healthy.  Remember eggs, shellfish, and soy are all excellent sources of protein.  I also can't get over how much your boys have grown in the past 5 months!  Such a beautiful family!

You look great! Congrats on your sucess! Myrtis

Thanks everyone for all the compliments.....Everyone here is looking great.....This surgery is so amazing!!!! I LOVE MY RNY......But a word of caution just in my opinion------Try your best to make gradual changes throughout this process----because you will learn how to eat again--and before long you will be able to eat mostly anything you want in small amounts that is------this is mostly a word to the new losers!!!LOL just thought id share a little something about what i have learned.... you guys are all great ...It is my pleasure to "Know" every one of yall.....  doesnt it feel great to be such big losers!!!! Lol  HAGN-----Carol.
