I am thrilled................ I stalled out my first week out of surgery and only lost 8 lbs. Went to diet class this past Friday and weighed in at 230. Started eating Friday afternoon (refried beans @ Ted's) while husband enjoyed a full meal and it didn't really bother me to much. I think because I knew that in the past I would have stuffed myself to the brim and would have been miserable.

Anyway, I got on the scale this morning (had to have the husband read it for me because I can't see over my shelf (boobs & belly) yet. And guess what. I have lost 5 POUNDS since Friday. OMG maybe it is really going to happen!

Thanks again for getting me through those dark days.

That first stall is a booger! But it's so fabulous when it finally breaks! Congratulations to you. Now the fun can really begin!

Remember Kim: Food is fuel NOT entertainment!

kmccrary,

How are you feeling? Hope you are recovering from your ordeal with that hospital. It's a good thing that all of us weren't there with you, they wouldn't know what to think if a bunch of ranting and raving "losers" came in like your own personal posse, but then again maybe they would have gotten their rears in gear and acted a little faster!

It sounds like your daughter is a like mine.....NOBODY messes with her MOM!!! Isn't it great to have such wonderful protectors.

Mushies should be right around the corner for you. Hang in there. I feel so much better now.

Best of Luck!

Oh, TED'S...my favorite place on earth almost!! lol Before surgery I would leave in such misery because I stuffed my face with those yummy yummy carbs...but now...I love leaving not feeling miserable and having food left over for 3 more meals...and I can eat it for breakfast, lunch and dinner! lol I have only been back to Ted's twice in the 7 months since surgery and both times I didn't leave feeling miserable!!! Yeah!!! GOOD LUCK TO YOU! Since surgery, I have found refried beans to be my comfort food for a grouchy pouchy. I couldn't look at another SF jello though!!! lol You are doing great and it will happen for you!!! It's working for all of us!!!

ONEDERLAND!!!! FINALLY!!!! WHOOOO HOOOOO!
