I'm sorry you're feeling so down lately. I don't know what to think of your surgeon's request for you to eat only twice a day but we should all listen to our surgeons (I s'pose lol). I would like to suggest you make one of those meals your breakfast to kick-start your body for the day. I know if I don't eat breakfast (I can easily skip any other meal) then nothing moves (weight-loss-wise). I hope you find happier days ahead! All my best, Tooter

GAIL~~HANG IN THERE~~It is not easy to live life sometimes And face the world with a smile when you're crying inside It takes a lot of courage to reach down inside yourself Hold on to that strength that's still there And know that tomorrow is a new day with new possibilities But if you can hold on long enough to see this through You'll come out a new person-stronger, With more understanding and with a new pride in yourself From knowing you made it.

Hello Gail~~~~You are doing fantastic, don't let your old eating habits come back. You positive attitude before your surgery was an inspiration to me, I hope I can inspire you now to keep on track. Having a meal once in a while of something you enjoy is a must! The key is to treat yourself only once in a while. I know you know this, just wanted to give you that kick in the @&&! I am still waiting for insurance approval and I am finding it hard to get on the message board. Please keep me in your prayers, I know God is hearing me, I just need patience to wait for my time! I love you! Keep up the great job. PEACE
