thank you everyone, cindi, my doc told me about a stricture that can happen and it will make you sick when you eat. They said it is not that bad to fix, they have to go in and stretch the opening to your stomach but that it is not that invasive. I would go ahead and call the doc to see. I will keep you guys posted, and please keep me in your prayers. Jackie

Good Morning Everyone! I hope you all had a very nice and blessed weekend! I wanted to post this tip in hopes that it can help get us through the holidays! Every year I do tons of baking and developed a small business (if you want to call it that) I sell cookie and candy baskets,and fill approx 100 to 150 orders I have 141 so far HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLLLLLPPPPPPP!!!!!!!!!!!! I make around 50 differnt kinds of cookies and 15-20 candies.now times that by anywhere from 6 to 10 doz each! I started baking on Friday and I tell you it is like waving a big juicy steak at a starving dog!! This is my little way of keeping reality in check! This is what I am doing to survive,take one of your old FAT pictures (the worse one you can find of course,and put it in the kitchen on the fridge with this list of questions...and the next time you reach for that goodie look at that picture, and ask yourself those questions.......... Is this where I want to go again? Do I want to look like this? If you say to yourself I am going to have "just one" can you? I bet not, walk away....... Think about what you have been through and your weight loss to date and I betcha you won't think twice about having that goodie. Be strong! Remember you are worth it! Havng issues dealing with it? COME TO THE BOARD AND VENT AND GET A FEW KICKS IN THE A@@ IF YOU NEED IT!!...lol...... I hope that this can help a little bit! Hang in there everyone a few weeks and it will be over!! Nancy

Hooray Cyndi!! Don't worry about yesterday, you can only control today! Your doctor will be so proud when he sees you after Christmas! Now when are we going to see your pretty face in an avatar?? Carolyn

Thanks Holly!
