Hi everyone.

Just wanted to say hello, i havent been on much. I am doing good. I have lost a total of 43 pounds since my whole journey began. Its a great feeling. I am actually starting to feel normal again. I have been scared to this point to try different foods. This past week i tried half of a soft chili taco and did fine with it. I also had about 1/4 slice of pizza and did well with that also. I am slowly trying new foods and so far doing ok with them. I do have a slight problem, nothing to do with WLS, i have a kidney stone that is pretty large that i need to have lithotripsy done on next week. Its a minor procedure but since i only have one kidney its necessary. I have had problems with my kidneys and stones for a while. I really need to work on more water intake. I hope all of you are doing well. Have to get ready to go SHOPPING! I love shopping. LisaMarie

Hi LisaMarie - wow - 43 pounds down! Good for you. Keep up the good work girl. Robin

Hey Lisa, Great job on the weight loss, I am sure you look fabulous! Sorry to hear about the stone but you were pretty sure that was the problem though, right? Good luck w/the lithotripsy and let me know how it goes. Work on the water, I know i need to as well. Take care. Tavia

WOW Lisa, you are doing AWESOME GIRL!!! I'm down 35 lbs and I go for days when that scale doesn't budge and I start to feel like I'm doing something wrong (I wonder if hardly eating counts). But I know that I will get there eventually, so I'm patient!! Hugs, Vi P.S. Maybe next summer I'll meet you in Manhattan for some shopping.
