I strongly disagree with you about telling people. I have found every one is so supportive and if you find some people sniping at you..well then you know who your friends are. I have even trumpeted on my FB page and all my farmville neighbors are pulling for me. Don't kid yourself about people not understanding. They will admire you for taking a stand on your health. Finally, when some hottie (in your mind) thinks she needs to go n a diet, don't get angry. They are entitled to have feelings about their appearance also. Anyway, in a year if u do all of it by the book, you will be one of those hotties too! REMEMBER WHERE YOU CAME FROM. Contact me if you need moral support because I can see you a litttle lost.

Think of it as a challenge to your old way of life. btw- have u tried cream of wheat? and oikos yogurt?

Don't sweat it, dawn. 2 days after the surgery it felt like no big deal and i went back to work the third day. Follow my new blog at : http://bit.ly/k9GHeZ

A new variation tonight!! 3/4 serving Cream Wheat, 1/2 can tomato soup, 1 teaspoon jelly(Fat free Sugar Free) and 1 TBSP Choc Pudding (Fat free, sugar free)=210 calories, 525 total for the day. Surgery F/U in 3 days then maybe new foods, I hope 22.5 pounds and counting. WOO-HOO

This is the end of Week 2 of the New World and I have to say it has been fairly easy so far. I haven't gone over 600 calories once and by my own estimate I have saved roughly 42,370 calories. So my weight loss of 20.5 pounds seems about right so far. First follow up in 4 days and I can then step up to Modified Regular Diet. TUNA! WOO HOO! I still feel like I am in Food Jail but I don't have that claustrophobic feeling as much. Anyone else relate to that?
