Welcome to the site David! Sounds like your doing great...I've been here for about a month and from what I read, a lot of people gain back losses in the 16mo to 24mo post tx. I started my rad txs the other day and my RO told me take it day by day and about 3 or 4mos post tx you'll notice changes. So, I'm not going to accept my new normal until I hit the big FOUR ZERO!
