RNYers - recovery from surgery
on 11/17/17 7:49 am
The purple hair made me laugh! Thanks for the info and Happy Anniversary. I am a stomach sleeper so that is my big worry about sleeping after surgery. I am desperate to try that ricotta bake. I work nights and all night long I haunt EggFace's blog looking at recipes. Must be my way of not cheating on Optifast!

I was not a fast loser but who cares as long as you get there! I know the newbies check the trackers and the signatures so although I kind of lost track of how the rest of the weight came off, you should know that it was not fast and furious but it was slow and steady!
current BMI 24.7 that, my friends, is NORMAL!!! Strong is the new pretty!
I had surgery on Tuesday and came home on Thursday. On Sunday my sister in law called to see how I was feeling. When I told her I was doing housework, she said she had to see that for herself.
When she saw how well I was feeling, she made up her mind to get the surgery too. She called for an appointment the next day. Now both of us are slim and happy.

You got this Rosie! Wish we would be in the same hospital. As soon as I am aware of myself and where I am I will send you a message.
This is a great post btw and I have ready each and every comment.
5 days for me and 6 for you. Great things are going to happen.

Getting a little jittery - how about you? I am so sick of that Optifast, not hungry really but blech. I cram as many ice cubes in as possible so it is super cold and I don't taste it so much.

I am a bit yes. More then anything I am ready to get it done. I am packed and have a month of everything.
There is a few things I need to do still but there is still time. I am doing ok with Optifast and I actually like the Vanilla. There must be something wrong with me. We will be great.

Sorry our budding friendship is now over! VANILLA??? I HATE it. I just keep piling Torani SF into it to make it taste ok since I bought two boxes of vanilla because I thought it would be a nice break from the chocolate. I am turning my chubby back to you now! lol
