May I ask how you got your tracker on your signature? I can't seem to figure out how to do it.

For some reason it would not allow me to leave a comment on your dating entry. I just wanted to say that I've been telling anyone who will listen that I've had the surgery. Even complete strangers I meet. So far, people have taken it well.

CONGRATS!!! That's Fabulous!!!

That's Fabulous!! And you look great.

That's FABULOUS!!!

We all experience buyer's remorse, but it generally goes away in a few days once we start to feel better.

The diet is meant to shrink the size of your liver so that the stomach can be accessed more easily. Cottage cheese and greek yogurt are good choices. I did a 9 day protein shake diet.
