Want to say Hello

Hi everyone,
Some of you may remember me from a few months back. I've had serious spine
surgery and have been in recovery but I'm now ready to take on the weight
again.
I was doing well until I went into the hospital for the surgery. I was on
fluids for the first few days and then they started feeding me things like
cereal, toast and juice for breakfast. The other meals were equally carb
heavy. It really threw me into a colossal binge and I've not had the resolve
to fight it until now. I'm just stopping all the pain meds and able walk a
lot more so the time is ripe to deal with what seems to be an addiction for
me. I never realized it until I saw the effect very high carb food had on
me.
I'll be reading this NG and learning from you all once again. I got so much
positive support last time that I know this NG is part of the key to success
for me. It's good to see so many people that I recognize still around and
making this work.
Bless you all.

Welcome back Bear. I am still here and hope you do well on your recovery
and weight loss.

Enjoy,
Curt

Greets, Bear. Good you're back. Good luck on the recoveries (spine surgery
and carb addiction).

Bear! I have thought of you so many times in the last several months.... I
have mostly been lurking the group and had grown quite unserious about
weight loss until getting some good group advice this week ... am back at it
now and so pleased you are here .... you were a source of wisdom and joy
when last you participated ....

be well.
