The best to you Dee, I am excited for you!

Glad you are home and on the losers bench with us. How are you doing?

Sorry to hear you might have a hernia, guess you should check that out, could get worse. Congrats on the 75lbs!!! Also good for you on your KW trip, I LOVE that island. Are you still exercising often? Size 6, awesome!

I think this is not uncommon. A lot of people don't even know they have this and its good they can evaluate what kind of conduction problem it is. My daughter and I both have this, (pvc's) and I bet it won't matter at all with having your surgery.

Yay! I had my bloodwork done and he said everything was fine, trig were little high, but all others were fine and to keep on doing what I was doing. I am off PPI's totally and feeling fine.

Glad you are maintaining just fine!

Good for you Rob!!

Lady in red! You look fantastic DeeDee.

There is a learning curve with the mask, nasal apparatus that is comfortable for you. My husband has one and when he has a good fit you can hardly hear him breathe. He would yawn all day bf he got the cpap, what a difference.

I am happy for you and the surgery date will be here bf you know it! You will love your sleeve and your new life with your family.

You got them checking you out girlfriend!

So glad to see you post again! My surgery weight was close to yours but you lost faster than me I see, (too many carbs). So happy for you. Are you having any trouble maintaining?

It will get better but it is a learning experience to figure out what your new tummy can stand. Sometimes it wants warm things, tea, soup/broth or cold/cool things of yogurt, applesauce, sf popsicles etc. You will settle in and it WILL get better, just part of the journey. It becomes second nature to know what works for you.

Glad you have started down the road to a healthier life. You will not regret it. Welcome to the losers bench!

Prayers for maintenence Tiffy! Wish you could turn off the stress level!!

Good luck on your surgery, we will be here when you feel like posting!

So glad you are on the other side katt, I remember feeling its all up to me bf surgery and not knowing what MY body would do was scary. What a relief to have it behind you and on to your new body!

I am so sorry you got the drainage bag irritated. Maybe it will feel so much better if the doctor takes it out. Its a funny feeling but once its gone I think you will feel better. Hope it is smooth sailing from now on. Congratulations!

Let there be peace in your family!!! Have a safe trip.

Congratulations on your sleeve. About the pill, could you not break it in two? Seems you could possibly get a whole pill down with the same method instead of breaking it in two? I have a horse pill to get down and do it with a full mouth swallow. It does go down. Keep sipping and welcome to the bench!

Stress is so harmful and sometimes you just don't realize how your body is reacting to it. I used to deal with stress by eating like you but maybe it revs up your metabolism even more and now that you are a lean person burns off more calories? Wish you could turn off that stress! I wish you good peaceful thoughts!

How about the issues with your low BP? Are you feeling good even tho you lost again? I am sorry your body is not done losing but keep eating the increased calories and I know it will settle in soon. You must hate your scale!

Take me with you!! Key West is my favorite place. We rent bikes for transportation and have the best time. I am so jealous! Have a margarita for me at Sloppy Joes. I'll be looking for you in their bar cam.

What a fun time for you and who were the men that were crazy hitting on you? You did wear your wedding ring didn't you!! I just had a great St. Paddy's day bike ride to Nashville and what fun! Cheers!

I think I know what you mean but certainly I have a long way to go bf that happens for me. It sounds like the day after you run the marathon you have been prepping for over a year and now what do you do? You look for another challenge I guess but don't forget about us, o.k.? I can't tell you how much your encouragement and knowledge has helped me and so many of us here.

Good luck Kelly, I know you are on your way to a new life!
