HI all, thank you again so much for your love, support and prayers. I am safely home again from Barix--I ended up going last week--on thursday , minus one nasty gall bladder. I am recouping well, and got up and walking today. I am a little sore and some upset tummy-ness...but so much better than last week. I have to say this and I can never say it enough....DR. KAM is amazing. He was insistent I come down there if I was not getting the care here ( which I was not) and he immediately found out the problem, got me on an IV and antibiotics and got the darn infected nasty gallbladder out...making me feel like a whole new person. He did not hesitate to do whatever it took to make me feel better and he and the staff at Barix went the extra mile as usual. I am so thankful to be feeling better and although I have had a few bumps in the road on this journey, knowing I was in Dr Kam's hands and had all of you for support...it helped beyond description. I hope to be back at work in a week--thanks agian. Vivian

Good stuff! Thanks for posting it!!

Here's another great cheesecake recipe that I've been able to handle really well. 6 eggs 4-8 oz packages of Cream Cheese 1 1/2 cup of Splenda 1 tsp of vanilla Whip all ingredients with a mixer and then pour into a greased springform pan. Put in a water bath and cook at 350 for about 40 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Turn off oven and cool inside oven (this helps cheesecakes from falling). Once cooled mix together 16 oz of sour cream, 3/4 cup of splenda and 1 tsp of vanilla. Pour over cake and put in a 350 degree oven for about 10 minutes. Top with your favorite fruit.

I was talking to my oldest daug last night about family activities coming up. I said I guess I would wear the same thing to my niece to be's bridal shower tomorrow and to my grandson's graduation party next Sun. She said the way you are dropping it probably won't fit! And don't go shopping for anything to wear to wedding on July 14th until that week! I threw away oversized bras last week after digging out some 2 sizes smaller from before. There are so many mini wow's that it is hard to list them all right now.... I am down 70 lbs so far but I have another 110 to go....so wow's will be adding up! Carolyn

I have lost 45 lbs so far. I am almost haf way there. People have started to notice my weightloss. Isn't it fun when some notices you have lost weight. One thing that has surprised me is my shape. Everything is the same shape in porportion to what it use to be. I will be so glad when that changes. So, tell me your wow moments. Who has noticed you have lost weight. Brenda
