Hey Dorcas.. happy bandiversary! Sixty-five pounds gone. Wow! You must feel so much better. Even with the bad fill experiences *cringe* I'd have kicked her!

I hope you recover quickly from your recent surgery, eat lots of protein! My doc has me on 100 grams of Protein per day for a wound I have and she said that could even be higher. So, for a quick recover, increase that Protein some. I wonder if the surgery caused some swelling that's putting pressure on your tummy, causing the sliming and PBs? I've heard women say this happens more often when they are having their periods. Don't know for sure, but don't let it go on too long without talking to your doctor.

What a very, very nice thing to wish for everyone. I wish the same for you.
