I'd like to reward myself with shoes every 25 pounds. Can't wait for my surgery!

I've saved a lot of money since I've stopped eating meat. And I feel a lot healthier too.

I've loved sunflower seeds since I was a kid. I thought I would have to give them up after surgery.

Thank you for your encouragement. I need all I can get.

So I called the insurance company and they said they have the paperwork but haven't made a decision yet

I'm still waiting for my insurance to respond. It's been three weeks. What should I do?

That's terrific! Can you tell me if you had to wait a long time? My last weigh in appointment was 5/20 and they said they were going to submit then, but so far I haven't received an answer.

I will not miss people telling me that I just need to exercise more, then I won't need surgery. I try to explain that exercising at this weight is almost impossible. So tired of crying by myself from other people's comments.

I sure hope so...

I am in a position where I just couldn't risk it. You have to be so careful nowadays.

I recommend waiting at least the ninety days. I waited a while before telling my employer. I guess it depends on the job. Is this your ideal job? Are you willing to risk it?

I am in the same situation. I have to push back my surgery to August (I started the pre-op process in November) . If it's a good job, wait. The current job market is awful.

So sorry to have to put it like this, but your mother in law is ignorant. Keep reassuring your husband, you two are best friends and that's not something you mess with. Tell your husband you don't just love him, but that you're IN LOVE with him. All the best to you!

It's amazing, at three months you've accomplished so much change in yourself. You should be so proud!

I know what you mean about smells. Ten years ago I had my gallbladder out and they brought me baked trout for lunch. I'll never forget it. I barfed up everything but my spleen. Let's just say they'll never do that again. LOL

You're gonna have to change your name soon.

I spent mine at a friend's house having a BBQ. Everyone was eating chicken and ribs that looked and smelled wonderful. But I put tofu on the grill and had a salad. Good times though.

The Unjury chicken broth is good.
