  1. I know what you mean, I have to stop and think, I can't eat that so why spend the money on it?? lol We spent half of what we would have when we went out last night - I love that!! I love how you said we are finally free! Wow, I hadn't thought of it quite like that but it's so true!! I'm not a slave to fast food and desserts any more - that is an amazing concept!!! I have spent so much money on gym memberships that I never used. That is depressing...but I love to walk and am hopeful that I will keep up on the treadmill because it's right here in the living room. Can't not look at it when it's next to the TV! haha Anyway, keep me posted!!!! Wishing you the best!!! =)

    I do have my hubby with me. He's been great but I miss my kids/grand kids! I'm doing ok with my liquids. Not completely up to what I should have.

    I was sleeved on the 29th. After 1 night in the hospital, I came to Villa Le Mas to recover. I am doing good other than pain at the largest incision. Dr says normal because he stitched that hole. I am very homesick. Leaving Costa Rica on Saturday to fly back home. Don't know about my body, but my mind is ready for home and my kids/grandkids!

    A treadmill! I wanted one of those!! Cool!
    I joined the Y last fall (VERY expensive) and walked for a mile or so at 3.5 MPH everyday for about 1.5 months.
    It was nice to read a book or watch TV while walking to take my mind off of what I was doing.
    Get some wonderful personally fitted walking shoes -- the lack of those is what made me quit so soon.
    They can make your feet and knees purr!
    Have fun shopping!!!
    Hugs

    Hi Sweet Melissa!
    Thank you for your reply post.
    I worry about you.
    I know it's too hot to walk -- I live in Atlanta -- 106* the other day -- UGH!
    What about the mall? Or the YMCA? Air conditioned bliss!
    Love you!!!!
    Hugs

    I know and I am so excited. I will be leaving for costa rica on the 27th and surgery on the 29th. Only thing I am dreading is that dang plane ride. May have to take a dose of benedryl or something! How are you doing?
