Karen, congratulations on making it to the other side! Sending lots of warm wishes and prayers your way for a speedy recovery, and lots of weight loss! {{{Hugs}}} I'm 9 months out, almost 100 lbs. down, and would do it again in a heartbeat. Just remember, WATER, WATER, WATER, PROTEIN, PROTEIN, PROTEIN, WALK, WALK, WALK...... it really works!
