Hi all, 
It is a brand new day.  I had a very rough June-July; I retched at least once an hour while awake just bringing up spit like a hyperemesis patient . It was not attractive and I regretted having surgery. I had a scope on June 29th and then IVF (with vitamins and supplements) on July 20th-literally hours before I got on a plane to my family reunion. I then decided I had way to much to do and wanted to enjoy this thing.  The IVF really helped and I strated trying new foods that weekend at the reunion. I have lost about 61 lbs so far and now have a personal trainer to kick my butt so I can lose another 25 or so by Nov 2- my college homecoming that I haven't been to in 2-3 years.  I am enjoying working out now that it does not hurt as much and I am sweating up a storm.  I am even really beginning to enjoy water again (it was all I could tolerate from about June 10- July 20 and I was OVER it).   Trying to watch my pop intake and really watch what I eat. But sesame chicken and french fries are a girls weakness and my Roux tolerates them just fine.  My roux hates veggies though just as much as I have most of my life- imagine that.  It 's finally worth it. Enjoy the new pics and drop me a line if you so desire.
