Update

OK - I am 4 days out and fealing great.  I had a spell last night that I felt down and doubted what I did.  BUT with the help of some fellow loosers and friends here in Houston - Rhett and Ambar Walker - I got through it.  Also seeing and reading stories and pics from you guys have lifted me up.  I know it is the beginning of the rest of my life and cant wait till i reach goal. if interested I have posted the pics from the day of my surgery. 

Great to hear that you came through OK just take it easy you are going to do GREAT!!

Ok, I'm counting on your words.   Thanks Mike

It gets better, trust me.  I think we all have that feeling afterwords, but think of the future, things are going to get so much better, and quickly too. I am a month and a half out, and happier than ever.

This support group is wonderful  It's people like you that make it easier.  Hope to join the happy trail real sooooon. Mike

I chewed a lot of ice and developed a taste for a great cold drink of water. You are enduring the worst of it but the upside is the lack of hunger and the fact you have done it.  It only gets better from here out.  The scales start dropping and the waistline starts shrinking.  And I gotta tell yuo. I was beliveing the scales but the waistline and pants sized, even dropped a shoe size were hard to argue with. May the FARTS be with you.

"May the FARTS be with you." Joe, did you make that up?  It's GREAT!!

Thanks Boxman,....I was beginning to think no one else was getting it (May the FORCE be with you??)

Congrats on getting thru, and getting the journey started!  The more i read in here, the more I'm looking forward to mine! Dale

Glad to hear you are doing good!  I'm right behind you in H-Town (July 17). Mike
