Topic: RE: Scared Mammogram - I have good news and not so good news
Good morning...I haven't had that experience, but just wanted to let you know you'll be in my prayers. I think positive, that if there was something really serious, they would do the follow-up quicker, but nonetheless, I would be feeling some of that anxiety, too. 
Will keep you in my prayers!
Exciting that your doc was so impressed with your progress and I am sure you are one of his best success stories! WTG!
Best wishes, Viv

Topic: RE: Couple of things happend today
Just wanted to say good morning...and thank you for the information and inspiration you give to so many people here, including me! Hope you have a wonderful day at the water park & BBQ with your son and friends...wonderful way to pass the day! Those negative anxieties will pass, and your feelings will settle back to "normal"...I have had my fair share of those lately, but just keep putting one foot in front of the other...Best wishes, Viv

Topic: RE: ok another question?
Hi Chris, I don't...the suggestions I have seen for wording don't really fit the VSG situation. My surgeon didn't have a strong opinion, pro or con, on the subject, so decided since he didn't "jump right on it", I wouldn't either...my husband has one because of his diabetes, and doesn't wear it as often as he should, so guessing it's not for everyone...best wishes on your journey, Viv

Topic: RE: food scales
Hi there...I got a really nice one made by Chefmate at Target about 4-5 years ago, but have still seen it. The scale weighs in grams or pounds & ounces, and comes with a food list where you can look up the food you are weighing, punch in the number and will give you the complete nutrition info. Back when I got it, it was about $40. Best wishes in your search & the journey, Viv

Topic: RE: Just a slow start?
Hi Katie...I started out slow, too...I have good weeks and not so good weeks. My NUT is thinking I may not be getting enough calories, so I really have to watch that...however, the kindest words I have read, and want to share, are "this is a lifestyle change, not a race" (I credit the wonderful "sleeve genie" a.k.a. "jeanie wants a sleeve" with words of kindness for such times when hope feels lost!) I think I am a slow loser, so I focus on the "loser" part of the phrase, and know I am happy, not deprived, and not "witchy"...take care, and best wishes, Viv
