Guest guest Posted August 4, 2005 Report Share Posted August 4, 2005 Sheryll, congrats and welcome to the other side. I am glad that you finally made it home with your family. That saying " you never know what you have until its gone " is so true. So you say 21 pounds...thats SUPER. This is just the beginning my dear. So many changes (good things), good changes. I am so happy for you. Make sure you keep us updated on your progress and know that we are here if you need support. Remember sip sip sip, eat your protein and chew chew chew and make sure you take your vitamins/supplements and get some rest.
