Roz, I need your comment about carbs tattooed on both hands although I'm not a tattoo person. I took Thursday and Friday as personal days. This is first time I've been able to have a paid day off. Here it is Saturday evening and only one day left of my mini vacation.

Thursday we went to look at a new home. We found just what we want and have put down a deposit. DH had an accident while we were out so that kind of ruined the day. We had viewed a townhouse and were walking back to the office when he fell face down on the pavement. Fortunately, a young man drove by, stopped and helped him up and walked him back to the office. He's really banged up but nothing broken.

This morning we went to our granddaughter's dance recital dress rehearsal. We prefer going down during the day rather than deal with the crowd at night. Of course, she was fabulous. :)

I have been taking Vita Fusion vitamins and B12 gummies for months. I can't seem to get rid of the itching around my jawline and neck. I looked at the ingredients and they are processed in a plant that processes soy......:( So, that may be the problem. I have ordered bariatric vitamins from Amazon for delivery Monday.

Eats today:

Scone

Protein bar

Beef hotdog

Tuna casserole (very little bit.....just don't like tuna); salad

Cereal/milk - supposed to help me sleep

WARNING TO SELF AND TO ANYONE WHO WILL LISTEN!!! AVOID 'BAD' CARBS AT ALL COSTS!!! THEY ARE ADDICTING!! THEY WILL SLOW DOWN YOUR WEIGHT LOSS DURING THE LOSING STAGE (and you won't even notice)!! THEY WILL MAKE THE SCALE GO UP AFTER THE HONEYMOON PERIOD IS OVER.

Success in Maintenance starts with GOOD CHOICES during the Honeymoon Period.

I feel I need to repeat this: I am a FIRM believer in Good Whey Protein Drinks!!!!! It is sooooo much harder to do Maintenance without them!

Afternoon LW's!!! DD's and DGkids are all in the pool. I'm baking pumpkin pie for DH for Father's Day but the house is pretty cool. Cookie out today and going out to eat tomorrow for Father's Day.

Afternoon LW's!!! Went to feed my Mom on my lunch. I'm very fortunate that the nursing home is on 8 minutes away and my boss doesn't mind me going. When I came back I ate a stale piece of pizza I found in the fridge. Hope you all have an Awesome Weekend!!

Hi Roz,

Thanks for checking in. I'm doing well, no pain anymore.

Somedays I have a hard time getting in all that my centre suggests we do at this point (all liquids), but they said it is most important for me to get in the water, so I focus on that.

Incisions are much smaller than I thought, so thats good. And seem to be healing nicely.

Thanks again, hope all is well with you.

Just wanted to check in and see how you are doing.
