I checked the board for the last time Sunday about 5 minutes before you posted.

So day 1 went well it sounds like! Good for you!! How was today for you?

I am going to be SSing soon. I have been waiting for the Dutch Chocolate to get back in stock. I had hoped it was going to be last week, but maybe this week. Fingers are crossed!

Until then I have been working on getting my digestion back in shape. I've learned some stuff over the past few weeks about how having your gall bladder removed messes with your health. I've had mine gone for 2 years now and I had no idea how sick it was making me. Without a gallbladder your body can not assimilate and absorb the nutrients in fat, such as vit A,D,E, and K's. Being deficient in these nutrients over time can cause a lot of serious health problems and I was well in to experiencing them. I am now taking Ox Bile with every meal being sure to include healthy fats so I can absorb and build those important nutrients back up. I was actually becoming jaundice! I started looking and feeling better after only a few days of the Ox Bile. But..I am also gaining some weight so that has to end soon!

So another week or so and I will be hopefully ready to get on SS. We have a space of time with no holidays or birthday so it's a good time to drop some weight.

Keep up the good work Barbara!
