Thanks for the update mamasanch. A 4 sounds manageable. Glad to hear you are up and walking. Get some rest.

Jennyjenny2 There is nothing wrong with having a good ole fashioned, endorphin releasing cry. This process is stressful to say the least. Be kind to yourself, big changes= big stresses. High stress= high emotion. You are totally normal. Find someone you trust and let it all out. If that is not possible, journal, write it all out.

Mamasanch, I am so glad everything went well and the pain is not so bad. That is one of my biggest fears, uncontrolled pain. Keep us posted.

Omgosh! So handsome! Good work, you look fab!

Dear Sleeved in Seattle, I would definitely, chat with a few other therapists. Many will have a free consultation. That being said, I am a marriage and family therapist, I have seen many people fail and eventually succeed at goals others thought where unattainable Also, if I had a couple come in whom asked me for help and I gave them divorce statistics, do you suppose they would come back? My job is to listen to my client and give them tools to move towards their goals. My opinion on how they should live their lives, has no place in therapy, in my opinion mind you. Good luck :-)

Thanks for this, I never realized how awful I would find the flavor of most shakes. I will try to find it here in So Cal.
