I was doing well until I went into the hospital for the

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. Sorry to hear about the need for surgery
but it sounds like you made it through it and are
recovering.

Best of luck getting back on the weight loss wagon.

Glad you're still here John! I'm glad you getting back on track too! You're
kind words are greatly appreciated and a source of motivation already.
I haven't weighed myself yet. I'm going to wait until at least a week of
being serious about changing my WOE and then I'll post my stats.
It's good to see you here and hopefully we can continue to motivate one
another.
Cheers,
Bear

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.

Thanks for the welcome and the compliment. I'm fixed up good for sure. After
8 hours of surgery I'd better be!! Good to see you still here.
