I gave my bike to my son-- think i will be asking for it back in may!!!!!!!! spring energy i hope!-- congrats to you!

Bright-- try it maybe it'll be fitting you soon ! those towel companies- think i 'll buy stock now cuz-- i'll be running around in one every day before work! CUZ I CAN!!!! (no peeping Toms or Janes at the windows now OK!)LOL----lets start a TOWEL CLUB!!!!!!!!!! beach towels, bath sheets and regular size, hand towel and well-- wash cloths anyone! (don't they call those thongs???) HAHAHAHA

OK LISA GONNA TRY TO GET THIS ON--AND YES THE FIRST PIC - I WAS BIGGER AND LOST SOME BUT THE SECOND PIC IS PRE SURGERY BUT I WAS STILL SMALLER-- AND EVEN MORE NOW--29LBS g o n e !!!! never to return now!!!!!!!

get it in writing-but take what they offer!!! yahoo to you

kewl talk about having a buddy to do this thingy with- how great- you both go and do well

I agree- life is not easy ans tho it was easy to gain this weight -change is never so-it will take time a patience and well encouragement -i just got banded myself like nancy (hi nancy) and i guess you need to get in track with your body and your mind and get involved with maybe a support group there to help more one on one and face to face-get a walking buddy who has had the same thing done, talking to us is fine but you may need more personal "love and attention". Talk to a therapist too- i'm with you on that!--good luck

I was put back on the same liquid diet i had before surgery the second day of recovery-boost, glucernia, instant breakfast, broth and cream soup and tomato juice if i could handle it-popcicles jello,and one yougert a day--no trouble so far and not really hungry-gonna get those fudgecicles tho-- mmm they sound good-

you look great!

you sound good- me too last tues the 26th not really hungry soup and juice and nutritional drinks are good -good luck to you!

sugar doesn't make you sick? ok just had this done last tues --drinking like a fool but i can seat those things-- OH NO!!!!! now i am scared
