I am on my 2nd day and the first was hard by the time 3:00pm came. And today there are a lot I mean a lot of food commercials one but to today is better so far. I can have deck of cards size chicken, flay of fish or turcky . I had fish and grits last night and I think that helped a lot. My friend at work and my husband are really feeling sorry they that are eating in front of me but I told then they, can't be like that just eat. Makes me feel good that they are wanting to support me but not make me uncomfortable.

I went to doc last wed and he said that i was a great candidate for the surgery. I cant wait it will prob be next mth though. But hey that is just around the corner. Just to throw this out.... My PA Jody said that with the rapid weight loss you can have problems with your hair dalling out and she started me on otc bition it is a Vitamin that helps with the health of hair, nails and skin. I have been taking for a week now and my nails are hard as steel. Crazy right!!!
