I wish to thank the large number of folks who welcomed me into the "club." It was much appreciated. I also a great admirer of so many generous respondents who have shared their successes and tribulations and have generally seemed thrilled with the real changes they have made to their own lives.
I am now down 32 pounds since my sleeve four weeks ago today. It has not been too difficult because I have been in a controlled environment at my mother's home where I have had an easy to follow - although very spartan - diet without many temptations.
But I am about to resume my peripatetic working life overseas, which is a constant blitz of airports, hotels and good and bad restaurants in some of the world's least pleasant places. Afghanistan or Iraq, anyone?
So I will soon face a far greater test than I have had over the past few weeks. Reading so many inspirational stories here online, I remain optimistic that I can meet the challenge and achieve the same positive changes.
I seldom feel hungry but as many of you must know, the smell and look of well prepared food can be an intoxicant. And something that is definitely best avoided
