Thanks for the friend request... hope you're doing well on your journey!

How are you doing?

wow... 35lbs is great... i've only lost about 15... that's frustrating to me. but i know it will come slowly but surely! keep going! you're doing great!

hi nancy, thanks for your message... i was on pre-op for 2 weeks and lost 6 lbs and i've lost 7 or 8 since surgery... my ticker says differently because my scale at home got my hopes up.

the nutritionist at the weight loss clinic told me it could be a number of things working against me right now, 1, i'm diabetic and until my blood sugars get leveled my body is producing a lot of insulin and that stores itself in fat and doesn't like to give it up.

2. i am not a consistent eater... here it is almost 2 pm on saturday and all i've had to day is 20 oz of decaf coffee. she said i need to eat more consistently because my body is in starvation mode and thinks i'm not going to feed it.

3. i'm very muscular and it's alwasy been hard for me to lose weight.. .she said i may only see 1/2 lb to a 1lb a week.

i'm really ok with that, i'm just wishing i were 30 weeks out instead of 3. but it will come with time. thanks again... keep in touch. steph

sounds like you're doing well. i'm good... i went to the movie tonight with a friend and about half way into the movie, i got a pain in my shoulder that would not go away until i was home and laying down again... i wonder if some of my sitting pain is due to the fact that i'm so short? who knows... i'm really doing good other than random pains.

i still have to remind myself to eat, i have always had the problem of waiting until i'm starving to eat... like today, even though i got up and moving around 8 am, i didn't have my first protein shake or anything to eat until 4 pm... why i wait, is beyond me. i guess i will need to make an appointment with the nutritionist.

anyway, glad you have the extra time off, my 2 week follow up is the 13th also, but i'm scheduled to go back to work on the 14th. we'll see if i'm ready or not! :-)

have a great day!

i'm doing pretty good... i've been walking a lot and for the most part i'm ok.. .until my dogs accidentally step on my tummy. I have to force myself to eat anything and have yet to eat 3 meals, but it's ok.

i have noticed that i'm cold alot.. especially my hands but hopefully that won't last forever. And riding in a car is really uncomfortable for now. i took off my nausea patch so that may have had something to do with not feeling well after riding in a car.

i am taking pain meds, but only a couple times a day now. i am really doing very good and am excited about everything. i think i'm still swollen a little and seem to have to burp all the time. but i was told that was part of the ansthesia.

have you weighed yourself yet? I have to really be careful not to weigh myself several times a day... but i have lost 11lbs since surgery. so that makes me happy. :-)

keep me posted on how you're doing... take care.

HI there... how are you feeling? I had my surgery on monday, i feel pretty good, but i really just want to sleep all the time! i did walk outside yesterday about a 1/4 mile.. maybe a little longer, it felt good. but it's uncomfortable to ride in a car.

have you moved on to more solid food? I can't hardly bring myself to eat or drink anything.

hi there... my surgery was postponed because i had an infection in my leg. i'm rescheduled for tomorrow (3/30). hopefully it won't be postponed again.

how are you feeling?

Thanks... i'm excited too. are you in indy?
