I have a sweet potato that I've been eyeing since I've read your post LOL. I'm pretty sure i made it nervous by the way I'm staring at it.

You go girl! I'm thinking about trying it and keeping an eye on your success!

My husbands name is Scott also and he is an amazing cook as well and alwasy seems to know what I want and need. We seem to be able to feel that about each other. Always have. Sometimes we can even finish each others sentences. I am so glad and fortunate to have him. He is my rock!!! Got to love them!!! By the way, I love reading your post!

I am so excited for you. I am only six days post-op my surgery. I am looking forward to being where you are in your weight loss. So far I am walking and trying to work my way up to walk a mile and a half. I know I will get there in time everyone keep telling me not to push it, and I am not but I can't sit around and wait to heal as some would like me to do. I feel like I need to get it going and keep it going. I hope you don't mind me following you because you have become a great inspiration for me. I might even ask for some advice from time to time. Congratulations to you and keep up the great work.

I'm right there with you. I had my first visit today with the Doctor but I will not have my first fill until 5/21/12. My weight lost has been slow, Im over 50 and I know it seems to take me longer to lose the weight now that it did before. I have only lost a total of 19 lbs which includes the two week pre surgery weight.. But 19 lbs is 19 lbs .....I have been very good with my eatting but I must admit I need to up the exercise. Let me know what ideas you come up with on your three meals a day plan. I wish you must continued success and look forward to hearing from you.

Dont let yourself get HANGRY. lol. Make sure to eat a little bit even if you aren't hungry. If you get in to the habit of this now, it will be much easier to avoid it when you are back on solids. Being starved makes it really hard to eat an appropriate portion! GOOD LUCK!

Very proud of you!!! YAY!!!! And congrats on your upcoming new job, God is good! I totally understand your decesion not to tell anyone..I havent told ANYONE execept my aunt, and 2 close friends. My main reason was I didnt really want to hear their mouths or their opnions...its my life and my choice! I have surgery in less than two weeks...am excitied and scared but reading stories like this gives me hope!!!

wishing the best for you in my prayers!

that's great! I just met my goal weight and I am waiting to meet with my case manager to set my surgery date. Not going to lie, I am terrified! I have never had surgery and I have my fears! I admire your bravery! keep up the good work! Veronica
