Will be here tomorrow after 11:30am

Nope...not the only one. Just make sure you drink enough so you don't end up with kidney stones like me. If your did has you on a ketosis plan like mine, fluids are super important.

I know, right? Even with my natural gray showing, people still tell me I look like I'm a young 40! Wait till I'm back to my fighting weight and I'm a hottie-tot! LOL!

Let's Celebrate together! Do you have anything special planned? I didn't intend to have a "coming out" event, so to speak, but a girlfriend just invited me to go on a cruise in January!

Every new stage seems so exciting... until you've been doing it for a week, LOL! Just kidding. As we speak, I'm trying to eat half an egg, scrambled. You have no idea how awful it feels. It's like I'm eating little rocks or something judging by the way my tummy feels. Who knew I could get full on a fork-full of eggs!

I'm going on a crusie in January, but plan on celebrating every accomplishment I can in 2013

I find my pouch likes warm fluids better than room temp our cold how wierd is that?!

Same here!

What is a ketosis plan? Can you explain it? I used to do Atkins (lost 80 pounds with it! Then got pregnant and gained it all back and then some.

Anyway, it was my understanding that any time you're burning fat for fuel you're automatically in ketosis. I've been peeing on my old ketostix during my stall to make me feel better...

They had me get in two walks on the day of surgery!

Is anyone already noticing dry skin? Every time I look at my hands/arms I cringe. My skin looks papery and wrinkled like a person decades older! (Talking hands and arms -- not face... yet?)

48 hours then I will call to let them know....since I take protonix I shouldn't have a problem. My hubby even noticed I don't have that grimacing look on my shrinking face!
