Hi Mary -
so sorry to take so long to reply to you. yes I am doing OK at the moment even though my niece is behaving badly - i put it down to hormones (she's 13) you have all that to come. I had a good christmas and was so glad not to put the ususal extra weight on, on top of the usual 20lbs or so that i put on every year. I am not as parinoid as before, getting on the scales every minute so am not sure of my weight - anyway my surgeon's scales always weight different from mine and i am going to see him at the end of the month. How is your weight doing at the moment? - your surgery is due in March, is it not, well as soon as you can, start upping your protien and vitamins so that you are fighting fit. I still do not have much energy but certainly do feel a lot better for the weight loss (approximately 55lbs). You too, will see how you can do more things with your daughter and the pleasure it will bring both of you. Do you find housework even more boring/difficult with the extra weight? i plan to give this house a good spring clean but it might take until next autumn LOL.
anyway, do take care and let me know how you are doing
kind regards
