Update

Well as some of you know, I was at Jackie's BBQ and ate the wrong thing as the food looked so good there I couldn't resist. Big mistake!!!!  Well, some kind soul gave me a protein drink and that was good. Guess I'm destined to stay with soft foods and liquids at least thru July before trying solids again. Many thanks go to Jackie for her hospitality and help with my problem. I really value your opinion as well as the other ladies I talked to. I learn some new things everytime I meet with ya'll. I would put one of those ticker tapes on my msgs but I am a big dummy with computers so maybe someone can enlighten me. Anyway, progress is being made as I have lost approx 35 lbs since May 30 and I am estatic to say the least. Hope everyone has a great 4th and hope to see ya'll again soon.. Hugs and all, Jim

Hey there handsome you have mail and I will be glad to help you. You are doing pretty good and to lose 35 lbs is great and you should be proud of yourself. It is a life of trial and error and just take it easy and keep trying things in small amounts. Hope you have a great 4th too.

Hey Pat, I answered your msg and will definitely take your advice. Happy 4th to you and yours...Jim

  Jim - great job, 35 pounds already! you are awesome, keep up the good work!  Lys

Thanks Lys, as I'm really excited abot all this soooo very much. I know that the next month will probably be a little harder in the loser coluum but I can do it with everyone's help and I appreciate all the comments from those that have ben there and done that..  Happy 4th to you and yours, Jim

Great job Jim!!!! Keep up the great work you will be  where you want to be before you know it.. Was real good seeing you out and doing so well @ Jackies keep us posted!

Hi there Ms Prissy, it was really good seeing you there as well, although we didn't get to talk very much and I'm sorry about that ... Maybe next time we can converse a little more. How was our 4th---fine I hope. Yep, I seem to be getting better as each day passes and that is a good thing. Hope to see ya soon. Hugs and thoughts, Jim

Jim, I am sorry you had a reaction to the food.  I am glad you are feeling better!  Happy 4th! Congrats on your 35lbs!!!  That is wonderful!

Hi there Melissa, good talking o you again. Yep, it was a little unpleasant but I got over it pretty well. Just takes me a little longer for solids I guess.
