I had a pretty good day today. My eating has been very much in control. I have to wait till I get a check to go on the protein shake diet. I am so psyched about the future now. My surgery is, hopefully imminent, and also school starts on the 29th, but some of my online courses are already available, so I can get a jump on the assignments now. I wish I had this much enthusiasm when I was younger. Not much else to say, except if anyone knows of a protein drink that tastes at least sort of good I'd like to know about it. Thanks to all.
