Losing 2

Congrats to you! That is an amazing goal to reach!

Great post... Thank you for sharing your success story! So very encouraging!

Congrats to you!!

Hi RavenClaw... Yep - losing weight became a low priority quickly. Glad you are finished and are doing much better these days. After today, I'll only have 8 boosts of radiation and I should be done by then! Yeah! Lakegirl - thank you so much!

I took a week off - I have a desk job. As Mary stated, know your own body and plan accordingly. Best of luck!

So glad to hear that all is better now & that your list of complaints didn't raise an eyebrow... Continued success.

RavenClaw & Jachut - I'm sending my prayers to the both of you for continued strength and certainly for healing. I was diagnosed with breast cancer in Nov., 2010 (banded Oct. 2008); I was finally getting down to a good weight for myself. As soon as I found out I was going to have to have two surgeries, chemo & radiation - I visited the bariatric office and was unfilled. I'm still not sure if that was a good or bad idea and probably will never know, for sure. However, during the AC / Taxol treatments [8 total] and 2nd surgery, I managed to gain all of my weight back. During chemo - if I wasn't sick on the stomach with the taste of metallic in my mouth - I was dealing with extreme fatigue and severe bone aches. So - I can say that I know what you mean. I did in fact lose my appetite a lot... but I just kept eating anything and everything that my DH put in front of me - trying to find a 'taste'. Loading ketchup on everything.. ugh. Now that I am towards the end of radiation, I've finally made an appointment for a fill. I'll go today for the fill and see if this helps at all. When I went for my unfill, the bariatric doc told me not to worry about my weight - but to focus on healing. And I did. I 'thought' slightly about the weight, but I just kept eating. Thinking it might make me feel better. So - I think we just have to heal and worry about our weight later. We are blessed to be around after such a diagnosis. But, I do want to get back on track, ASAP. Best of success to the both of you and any others who are faced with this nasty mess.

Now that truly is awesome...

Congrats!! YaHoooo!
