One year surgeriversary

I feel (or smell!) your pain.   I was so happy to find these low-carb frozen mocha drinks at my local coffee shop.  2 net carbs per serving!    I ordered one and OMG it was so good!   I thought I was really on to something.   Well, an hour later, my belly bloated up like a nickle balloon.    I sounded like one of those New Year's Eve tooting horns!    I've gotta find a way to replicate that flavor at home using heavy cream or something.

Maddie, I agree with so much the others have said.  You are an inspiration and I wish you the best on your surgiversary.  Love the pictures too.  You look healthy and vibrant and well... just wonderful.

Maddie, I know its been a rough year.  I can't say that I would have handled it as well as you have...

I hope the next year finds you in improved health, with the strength and energy you need to enjoy your every day.
