Hang In there Buddy

Thank you all SOOO much, I feel better already. Just knowing there are other people with the same thing in common to share your fears and concerns, as well as being able to read about the many success stories gives me hope about living a fairly normal life.

Today is the begining of week two of four for me at Pritikin, and I have to tell you all that I feel better than I have in years. I have now taken off 15 lbs. , I have about 50 more to go (to be sexy again...lol) gotten off the salt/sugar, and other than really missing my wife and four kids I am doing great. Thank you all again. I'll jump in and let you all know how the TEE goes.

Laz - this website has been a big help to a lot of people. It's a tremendous comfort to find other people walking in your shoes (family and friends can only appreciate so much). I remember too the TEE - it actually was the only procedure I stressed about because of my gag reflex. With the drugs, it's was no big deal! Good luck with Pritkin and remember life is a journey of small consistent steps. Set realistic goals, make it fun (at least with exercise), and develop your support system (including this site). Take care and best wishes. Mark
