I'm on my way! I am so very happy to have found this site and taken action. Today is just about over and I have survived. It's all mental for me. I had slipped back to my pre-op ways and had gained back 25 of the 143 pounds that I lost post-op. I am ready to relieve myself of those pounds.

I bought a new scale - Homedics Tri-Fitness HealthStation, food scale, protein powder, vitamins, smoothie blender, broth and Protein 2 Go packets to prepare. I had to pull out all of my artillery because I knew distractions and cravings would come out from the woodwork. Thank God for giving me another opportunity to use this tool that He graced me with. I have to remember that there are people who cannot have the surgery due to health reasons, insurance, etc. I cannot take this for granted and be so caviler. It worked when I worked it. I stopped so "it" stopped. Now I have to get back to the basics.

Thanks to everyone for sharing your successes and temporary defeats. We are all miracles, remember that!

Now, pray for me as Day 2 approaches. THANKS!

You're doing just great and seem to be highly motivated...let it carry you over the next few days!

Way to go, Serenity! Good luck on Day 2, hope it goes as easily for you as it did for me.
best wishes,
