Thanks Barb,

My approach has always been ... I tell it like it is. I am very real in all that I do. When it is hard or sucks I am happy to share... or when things work well I share that as well. I know we are all different and this journey is unique to each one of us. However we all learn from each other at the same time. I feel fortunate at times as my boyfriend had surgery 4 months before me. I did all the cooking...measuring of food etc. Mind you for the most part we eat the same foods now .. he can eat a cup where I can't and he can tolerate a bit more sugar then me.

I am glad my messages help others in this journey and I for sure will be happy to share. I accepted your friendship on here and if ever you have questions please just ask.

Take care,

Laura

Thanks so much Laura. I sat beside you and your boyfriend at the Burlington meeting a few months ago. Looking forward to seeing you there again. I will introduce myself next time.

Hi Barb,

Awww I believe I do remember you... Doug and I moved out near London so we unlikely will be able to attend the Burlington meetings now. Plus I am finally back to work...and work Saturdays. I do hope to keep in touch and look forward to you sharing your journey.
