shelly major closet cleaning today good for you sounds like you are prepping, excited for surgery next month i know you will lose the weight and keep it off............. but being rid of those "big" clothes is extra incentive in other words you can't go back to your old ways, having your old big clothes right there if you gain weight unless you want to spend lots of money buying "new" big clothes buying new smaller clothes............thats a different matter good luck next month speedy recovery kathy

first day I have felt hungry sissy getting all your Protein in???? woo hoo!!!! it is common not to get that full feeling when you are only on liquids once you primarily start eating soft foods/solids - your restriction will "kick in" protein, protein and then protein very important to drink as much as possible until you start "sloshing" around!!! keep up the good work continued success good luck kathy
