a big THANK YOU

[cjm]

Just wanted to say thanks for steering me to NUTELLA. What a find...

I wasn't having any luck finding it at my regular grocery store (even went to Williams-Sonoma) so I went to a speciality grocery store and found it. I went to their web site and located several nearby stores that carry it. Can't wait to try Nutella & bananas on crepes (that thread is what started this mania).

Just a OT-side note-since I'm posting-

Jewel, how are you feeling after your surgery? Must be doing good in order to go to Hawaii???!!!

JeAnne, hope you are feeling better - what a wonderful life you have and so many caring friends!!

Jean

Thank you for asking Jean! I'm on my way to being a sorta lean, sorta mean fighting machine! I've still got a lot of swelling in the lower abdominal region after a hard day, but the incision is almost non-existent, and for a 25" long scar that's saying something! I still have a bit of a curve from boobs to hips, so that means the waist is still there, and I have a belly-button that is still facing forward (not hanging southward...) after two whole months! I've never had a belly button facing the right way for that long before! ;)

I never realized how big the rest of my body would look (arms, legs) once I slimmed the torso alone. I look in the mirror and am almost assaulted by the boobs staring back at me that never really looked THAT big before! Sheesh!! Still, I have no more overhanging skin, no more rolly things where my waist should be, and the doctor lopped off 10 lbs in excess skin alone. WooHoo! Sure made Hawaii a lot more fun! Thanks Jean! :D
