Thank y'all so much! Please make room for me on that Loser Bench - first weigh-in is another week - yea!!
Surely after 2 weeks on not much but chocolate Glucose Control Boost maybe that apple (on my weight-tracker) will finally start moving down (just like Newton promised???)
It's a whole new world, that's for sure. My belly looks like someone took a jackhammer to it - there are about 6 holes plus the lovely blue marks from Lovenox - I could copy that off and get a nice price for modern art
As I said on the other thread, it's so wonderful to have people out there who will support and encourage you. I am sooo grateful for all of you - if I haven't learned anything else in life, I've sure learned that's it's pretty hard to make positive changes all by yourself
Hard to believe those months and months and months (hoop-jumping) that I thought would never end, finally DID!!!!
Love, Carol
Congratulations GrammyRN
I'm so glad surgery went well.
My joints are much less sore, and I can move around so much better. Can't tell anything on my clothes; in fact, my waistbands are tighter, I think b/c of the swelling left over from the surgery. My diet has consisted of liquids only (I couldn't tolerate soft stuff after all in the beginning) until today when I ate a bit of baby food 
and organic cottage cheese. So far, so good. But it sure is a whole different mindset. Still hard to look at someone eating potato chips and you can't have any 
but guess that too will pass, LOL! Love, Carol
