Judys - You know in your heart that you are following the rules so you should lose soon. If not, consider talking to your nutritionist and your surgeon again about increasing your metabolism and testing to determine if there is something else interfering. Above all, remember, we are on a marathon not a sprint. Next year at this time...I bet you will be worrying about what to do with all the clothes that are way too big. Take good care.
By taking this journey, you are giving your husband the best gift of all.... You are giving him a healthier, more energetic, happier wife who will be alive to love him much longer. I cannot think of a better gift for him or your two boys. Congrats on your success to date!
