      I know, this is bad and I am a Halloween junky. I was married on Halloween and our family usually celebrates like Christmas. We all get together and have parties and..... Anyway, we usually start preparing in August believe it or not. It's sad how fast the summer is going.

      Spring is here as far as I'm concerned. It's a mental thing and there is no other season that is more appropriate for folks finding their health. We've made it through the Winter of our lives and are now shedding the trappings of the cold and feeling the sun on our faces and breathing in all the smells of the world coming back to life.

      Spring has sprung !!!!!!

  4. I love getting massages.

      OMG! We finally disagree on something. ;( With my Fibromyalgia, just the idea of a massage hurts. I hurt just walking in a crowd and having people bump against me. Most people love massages though. I guess I'm the odd one out here.

      Well ... let me make your day. (Oh, ha ha ha. I thought you said "messages." LOL Super congrats on your weight loss journey. I started at 431, got the sleeve and now weigh 330 on a good day. My arthritis (and now back injury) keep me from exercising. Was all set the do physical therapy in the pool. (Yay!) But we had a storm that day and my back was killing me. Couldn't go anywhere. I don't get on here much, but would if you wanna continue your journey with a right sized cyber friend. Lemme know.

  5. Brrr. I am so ready for spring!

      True, true! The Holidays used to be a time of dread for me. What would the future hold? I'm so excited about the changes in my life right now--and thankful. Last year I was facing cancer (thankfully a type that almost never spreads). This year I'm facing the opportunity for a whole new exterior (well, minus some bags and sags)!

  15. I just noticed that as of today I have lost 150 pounds. Holy #%$@ as my PCP said twice during my last checkup!

      I noticed that a friend came into the office wearing fall colors today and I started to feel regret that summer seems so short. The kids will be back in school in 2 weeks.

      I so agree, it seems that when August arrives, those of us in The Northeast start shopping sweaters!

  23. I'm getting a pretty good tan now that I can swim just about every day!

  24. Making progress getting in my fluids but its still a challenge. Getting in the pool has been great!

    1. CanyonBaby

      CanyonBaby

      It should improve with time, did you also have a hernia repair at the same time? If you did, it may take a little more time. I still have difficulties with straight water (at 6+ months out), and I did have hernia repair at the same time. It feels like concrete hitting a brick wall! The water-enhancer drops really help me get more in. Have fun at the pool...wish I were with you!

      Wish i was going to the pool. Hardly have time to do anything

  25. Trying to get in all my fluids is a full time job.

    1. lexiemia

      lexiemia

      I have to agree. I am two days post op and don't feel I am getting enough fluids. I had severe nausea at the hospital and it is still hanging with me a good bit. The Zofran does not help. I did find it easier to eat a popsicle than to drink water. But I am still sipping on the water any way. I hope it gets easier as the days go by.
