Linda, congratulations on your one-year anniversary and on your amazing weight loss. What a great accomplishment! I hope you enjoy continued success -- fight that head hunger! (I, too, remain a chocoholic), and may you have many years of good health and happiness ahead. :-)

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year One and All, <p> Getting through the holidays was the easiest it has ever been for me, and I hope the same is true for all of you. The funniest thing that happened is that my family actually videotaped me eating Christmas dinner -- something from which I would normally have run like hell in the opposite direction. Instead, I thought it was quite funny to see them freaking out at the tiny amount of food on my plate and I laughed even harder when I saw what they had on their plates. Funnier still was the fact that I couldn't finish what little I had. While they were stuffing their faces and gaining weight, I got to lose it!!!!!!!! WOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOO!!!! Imagine losing five (Yes, COUNT THEM! five five five!!!) whole pounds at Christmas time! Oh how lovely THAT part was. So far, 50 pounds gone forever and that in less than 2 months! Hugs and kisses to you all and hang in there. It DOES get better -- honest!<P> Linda

I hope you get to feeling much better soon, Linda. In your last post, you said that you weren't given any instructions on what to eat. Dr. Crookes hasn't discussed a post-op diet with me, either, but I do have some immediate post-op to 2nd or 3rd month diet suggestions that I got from another DS surgeon's office. If you would like a copy, email me and let me know. You had me a little worried there for awhile. I have been praying for you, and I am really glad that you are doing better. Keep in touch. ~~Kimber~~

<font color=blue>Greetings everyone,<p> I am finally home from the hospital. To be perfectly honest, nothing went the way I planned. It was a bit like spending two years studying for an exam only to discover that I had studied the wrong subject altogether.<p> I will discuss all of that in more detail later. For now, just know I am home and slowly beginning the recovery process. I am eating just about anything I want but most of it doesn't stay down well yet. I really didn't receive much instruction in terms of what TO eat, so I am winging it. Mostly, I am just exhausted and sleep a lot. They had to open the wound so I am still draining and bleeding a lot. I will update you all when I have more energy.<p> Thank you to everyone who wished me well and helped me get through this -- the most difficult time of my life.<p> Namaste`, <p> Linda
