Thank you! For the last 6 months I've been eating the foods I would be after my surgery. I've lost 30 lbs. Really trying hard to do what it takes.

But I'm doing well. I think I have a good mindset. And I have great support! Plus it's nice to find this just days before my surgery.

Surgery is in 5 days. I know it will help me stay on track.
On Amazon they have a great herbal loose leaf tea called cherry goddess. It's so very good if you really like cherry. I got me one of those ice tea mugs that are for loose leaf tea. It keeps the tea separate from the liquid. Makes wonderful tea. No caffeine.
