Ok -- weighed myself this morning and I have a "normal" BMI of 24.8 - I haven't seen that number or my current weight of 140 in over 20 years. Feeling pretty great right about now.

I sent my friends the info below because many of them asked us what diet we were following. I had sent them the key bullet points of the eating plan - knowing how hard it is - and they haven't really been able to follow it for any period of time.

It so irritated me today to see how much less expensive men's clothes are compared to ladies clothes! My husband can get away with getting $10 jeans, I know I sure can't do that. I know there have been articles and news reports stating how it's more

Hope everyone's staying safe with this burst of severe winter weather. I think the Chicagoland area where I am is getting the least severe so far, but it's been sleeting all darned day! They had to put off starting the construction of our sunroom yet

Wow, 9 months post-op and I'm solidly in onederland. Can't believe it. I haven't
weighed 190 since Oct 19th 2003 when I got married.
I'm so glad to be a part of this group. You've all been a real godsend. Thank you!

First off, I feel fine. But my 5 month post-op show the kidney numbers not very good. My PCP sent me to
a kidney specialist who wants to run some further blood and urine tests as well as a renal ultrasound
and possibly a kidney biopsy. We're
