thank you for thinking of me and inquiring. That means a lot. You are really looking beautiful in your photo. I didn't get the surgery as planned in November. I am shooting for July now.

Hi, I am sorry it has taken me so l to reply to your msg on my page... I do not have access to the internet like I used to, so I am rarely online. The answer your question is in my blogs - I joined the group abt 3 weeks after surgery and I documented my experience of adjusting, eating and exercising one entry per week. Last month marked my year and I have never been happier. I hope to get back online soon and post an update and start adding to my blog again soon. Good luck on your journey!!

hi! I replied on my post to your questions...if you have more questions feel free to ask. I think it just takes some trial and error to do the mfp site. I don't have a smart phone, so I just use it on my computer and use the website. Not sure if the "app" is different?

Hi, about my eating. I just do the best I can. That is about all I can say. Just keep on keeping on. It happens!

Hi Nicole will am in the final count down and I am starving ha broth and jello just doesn't cut it ha!
How are you doing my friend? You have been such a great help to me can't thank you enough am sure I will be asking lots more questions after surgery. Are you ready for Christmas? I have almost everything done we are having our Christmas early the 22nd, 2 days after I get home not cooking a big meal just making chili so it won't be too bad! Hope all is well with you! Jody

Thank you girlfriend!!

I haven't been on the site in a couple of weeks. With being back to work and working out.....not a lot of extra time in the day. My daughter also had knee surgery just before Thanksgiving. I have been swimming almost every day. I am loving it. Not anything all out....but I just keep moving in the water for about 30-45 minutes each time. I have been in another stall for about 2 weeks. I am not really worried because my clothes are still getting looser. I think I should reach my 1/2 way goal by Christmas. I didn't really worry about the holiday because I knew I couldn't overeat if I wanted too. Old habits do die hard.....I filled up my plate like I would have before surgery and then could only eat a couple of bites of each item.....I did treat myself to a very tiny piece of pumpkin pie. I hope everything is going well for you.....Hugs Judy

Thank you, and yes I've found alot of information on here that has been very helpful, some entertaining as well. Thank you and have a great day

Hi nbendily,

Thank you for taking the time to post your encouragement to my blog. It means a lot. Sheri

Hey Buddy,

How you feeling today girly. Still sore? I'm doing great,... not much pain,.... I'm taking my pain meds, antibiotics, vitamins, supplements and sub lingual B-12. I'm still having the spasms in my throat but they are getting better. The plane ride home was crazyyyy, but I took a wheel chair from the moment I entered the airport to the skycap who pushed me to my car,.... all in all the trip was not bad at all.... How was you're experience?

Thank you everyone for the kind words!! This is day 3 out and doing better much better....the sleep thing is hard now because I am a tummy sleeper but really over so blessed!

Best wishes today and for a speedy recovery!!
