My best friend, Brenda, had GPS in March.   She has lost around 90lbs and seems to be doing good.  I'm so proud of her.   I talked to her yesterday and told her about this site.  I sent her the link and hopefully she'll be joining soon.  She moved away last year and we haven't seen each other much and I miss her.  Hopefully we'll be able to support each other a little more (and keep in touch more) through this site.  My daughter made it through the day just fine yesterday (she ran our store alone on one of our busiest days).  She's been my rock through all of this.  I was having some issues with food yesterday.  I'm still on liquids and I was craving something of "substance".   I really think I miss chewing.   Instead I made a protein drink and added a small piece of extra ripe banana to it.  It was good, but didn't satisfy my chewing need.  I searched the house and found some sugar-less gum.  It seemed to do the trick.
