had surgery on 6/4. painful and lost 10 lbs in 5 days. lost another 5 lbs this month. feeling 30% better than prior to surgery. major change in eating habits/portions/timing/foods. complied a cookbook filled with goodies to make in a year. making a list of places to eat and putting them in my calendar (a year in advance). :D
mucho love to family for taking care of me in the hospital and at home. to mike and annie—making runs to supermarkets for my strawberry cravings. to caroline and sarah for all the complicated restrictive diet recipe ideas to keep me from giving up and shoving a corn muffin down my throat. <3
