Dotsie, Yes I feel good and my "uncle Arthur" does not make a strong appearance. I'm waiting 1 more week to begin again, Dr.'s orders, with some sort of exercise program. (must be easy, short and fun!) I will start with walking my Lab (he's a puller though which is why I haven't walked him for a few months, (before I made the appt w/the surgeon to take out the gallbladder)). Maybe I could get on the diet forum in this group. Guess I need to think more about myself and my care, I'm worth it!
