Good morning ladies and gents!!

Today is a very new beginning for me. As I sit here and reflect, I feel as though the first 124 days since surgery has been a HUGE blur. Now, it's time for me...(me and Reggie since he's having the sleeve sometime this summer).. My mother cooks the most unhealthy meals, mostly processed foods. I'm DONE!!! Starting today, it's all about eating the perimeter of the store. LCHFMP also. (Thanks again Carly for telling us about it). I'm starting slow. Trying to keep carbs about 60 per day and work down from there. I'm also on a fluid pill courtesy of my surgeon. Said I am way too puffy. From here forward, each day is going to be a new beginning. A new chance at living life to the fullest.

    I'm so glad anything I say can help. May sure to keep your fluids up when on the water pill. It seems backwards, but it's much easier to get dehydrated when low-carbing. :) Good luck to you and to Reggie! I love seeing you grab that new beginning and living your life for you... Make me grin. (hugs)
