Thanks. I sure hope so. Most of the foods I like are not good ones so that's OK with me if I never eat them again. Everything taste salty right now and not good. Hahahaha

Dec. 15th anyone?
It has gone by fast. I biggest worry was my skin got tender to the touch on my left side. I didn't know why and I hurt inside as well. I figured it out. I'm a dummy I had a couple of bites of cheese and I hadn't gone to the restroom in a couple of days. I guess I was backed up. Dang I won't be doing that for awhile. Doctor said cheeses is ok. But man that feeling was awful. It will be awhile before I eat cheese again. I'm feeling a lot better today.

The sleeve. And my journey
Hi my name is Carol and I had my bypass sleeve surgery Dec 16, 2014. Very hard for me during Christmas. I am 44 married and a mother of 5. With 4 beautiful grandchildren. My kids are grown well physically anyways. OK back to my story. To start out with I was 270 lb in June 2014. I have Lupus and other smaller things. The Lupus is what helped me to decide to have surgery. I get flare ups in my hips and can't walk (carry my weight) I'm only 5'2. So I started in June. My insurance required me to go through all kinds of stuff as you all know.6 months of doctors visits, nutritionist, mental evaluation. Passed. Before surgery in June I went down 257. I did go down before the big day. I am the soul of my family it's been so hard these weeks. Im learning so many new things. I am the cook, the party organizer, I am the back to this family. So hard but I'm now 233. And starting to feel good about myself. I love my family but now I'm to the point where it's fin for ya'lls self. Hahahaha. One really important thing that i have learned in these few weeks is its my turn to take care of ME. I love myself. I'm happy to be apart of your group. Thank you
