Well, Vicki, it was a bad day for me. NO restaurant prepares their food, like I do. For example, I know that omlette, was cooked, with butter, and the chicken fingers, were batter fried, and pizza????? ha I don't normally eat that stuff! Oh well, today, is another day! Hey, you weren't that far ahead of me, girl! I had no pre-op diet, either! ha I didn't know there were any Spaghetti Factories, left! they closed around here, a long time ago! By the way, thank you for the crab cake recipe! I will use it!

Well, you sound better! GREAT!~

You guys had better post pics! I am so jealous..some of my favorite people are going to be all in the same room.

It sounds like you had a wonderful day! Enjoy the rest of the weekend!

I knew that others could relate! The hard part is that I ENJOY being active! I guess what I need to learn is to lower the intensity level. I mean for right now, I can't do anything... so I guess working up slowly will help me avoid overdoing it as I start to exercise. When I was exercising like that, I just thought to myself, "toughen up" or "run through the pain"... and now... for months, I have been wondering if what I did hurt my body enough that I have these issues. Nobody can say that I do... so I just wonder and worry that I did something to hurt myself without thinking that I was hurting myself. I know balance is key and I am just afraid that without that much exercise, I won't lose any weight. I guess we'll see how I do after my HH repair...
