Hi Vera,
I'm sorry to hear that you haven't been feeling well and I hope that you'll be on the mend soon.
Listening to your body and learning when you 'feel full' is HUGE! Congratulations!
Keep up the good work.

Hi Vickie,
It looks like you are on your way to long-term success because you are not only losing the weight, which to be honest, would happen even if you did nothing..., But the important thing is that you are making the lifestyle changes that will help you to maximize the losses you will experience and the ability to keep off the weight in the long term. Studies have shown that those who make life-style changes are much more likely to experience longterm success. And isn't that what this journey is really about?
Wishing you continued success,

In the past accepting compliments has been hard for me to do I guess mainly because I never felt worthy of them.
I work very very hard at recording my intake and fitness.
I am proud of me for taking care of me.

Hope to see you on Saturday and isnt it great the rain has stopped.

I am being very cautious to not do anything that maybe could cause a leak. From previous experience, this is my main focus right now. Dr V said with VSG surgery, if you were going to get a leak, it would be in the first 3-4 days after surgery so I hope and pray I'm past the danger point.
Still worried though but so far so good.
I really am very proud of myself and my husband is so very supportive and encouraging.
He has taken great care of me. We are going out today to GNC and Walmart and walk and walk.

However I stop eating when I feel full, I have taken all my supplements/meds.
