It is now been 2 months since my surgery and everything is going o.k. I haven't lost a big amount of weight but I knew when I started this journey, that this is the way LB works. As long as I lose, no matter how small the loss, I will be o.k. with that. I have lost 34 pds. and you know,really that is a pretty good start! But I think that the most important thing is that I'm learning some things on this journey. I have learned that I can make good food choices, even when I eat out, I have been trying new foods and you know what, they're not that bad! (Example) I'm from the South and as you might know, we fry EVERYTHING down here, I have learned grilled or baked fish isn't bad at all! I have learned, also, that I don't have to have something sweet to eat!! I still eat something sweet every now and then, but I don't go overboard with it! I have learned how to eat without bread, although to be honest with you, I still have a problem with hush puppies! So I don't make them too often! But, all in all, this has been a learning experience for me and as long as I'm losing, I going to enjoy all the compliments and the cloths that I can,finally, wear AGAIN!! :wub:

Happy Bandiversary DB! You're doing great! It sure is a learning process isn't it. -BG
