I'm Praising God in so many ways. My Panniculectomy procedure was a success. Now recovery is the other challenge. I am very happy. Krys

I'm not a water drinker, but I've always drink more and more during the summer months. Usually I have to add lemons or cucumber, but not in the summer. Straight on the rocks.

DDs Discounts: If you ever heard of this store, I've found it to be the best fo rme right now. Because of the changes in size, its cheaper to buy when Im ready.

Minor breakdown today. Some heavy emotion came over me today. I wanted some ice cream today. Preferrable the ice cream cookie at chik-a-fila. I had a craving for it and I don't know where that came from. My daughter was already going there and I told her to get me one. She was gone 10 mintues and I called her and said "I gotta be strong" and started ballin. I mean my eyes were red. I don't know If I needed to cry, or I wanted that sweet just for today; one time. And I know it...

Okay here's the SCOOP......In January I went to see the plastic surgeon (rewind)...In 2008 the surgeon told me to lose 75lbs and she will perform a Panniculectomy. -----UPDATE....For the last 5 months she has taken me here and there. Do this, do that. May 28th she says I will put in the order to schedule for surgery, but it will be after the first of the year. After a few choice words to her for taking me on a rollercoaster ride and doing everything she ask. It really pissed me off..........

Finally finished an hour-10minutes of Zumba. I'm off work til June 27th and this will be my regime daily; 3 times a day....

Question. Why is it when you decide to do something for your yourself, the phone rings and its everyone that lives in the house, is not in the house; wondering what I am doing, COME ON PEOPLE!!!!!! I bought the Zumba series to be at home more and when I'm alone, I'm actually not. Is it wrong for me to turn my phone off while I'm Zumba'ng my weight off?

Okay....Today I rcvd my box today. Of what, you ask?!?!?!?! (wink) ZUMBA ZUMBA ZUMBA...I ordered it from Amazon. I ordered it used, but it was actually new and the latest version that has been on the info-mericals recently. I am soooo excited. I've been going to the local recreation center to Zumba, and I will miss them. However, I will visit a few times a month. Can't wait to Zumba and blow this roof off, lolololol. Krys

Need support. Need to stay focus to help myself in my continued jourbey.

HELPPPPPPPPPP!!!!!!!!

Ok, I returned to work last week. I did really well. But this week I am overly hungry. It seems every hour and half I am starving. I drink a lot of water, but it seems I am missing something. Should I be hungry as if I have not eaten in days.

Thanks Much!!!!

I am down 18.5 pounds and sooooo very ecstatic with my progress. Not as fast as others, but I am me. Yesterday I went to meet with Ana at Kaiser Bellflowers' satellite office and when I got on the scale and it read 293.5, it took so much out of me not to run down the hall screaming of joy. To see 293 to me is I will never see 300's again. I don't have a scale at home, which is wonde...

My surgery was 5 weeks ago, and I do notice a change in my body; the weight and inches that has come off, but I am truly not happy. I need to implement exercise fast. I did mention everything to the surgeon and he just said I am doing great. Hmmmmm.

Hi All

Well as of Last week Thursday I weighed in at losing only 12lbs. A lot of this is my fault. Although I semi followed the plan---going back and forth between KAiser and PB---I have not exercised. I have just been down all this time after surgery. I go back to work in a week and I feel I look the same as when I left. Not a good feeling.

Hey Sleeve

Not too good. I have an appt tomorrow with the surgeons. Im sort of disappointed at the same time. My surgeon had so many other appts that I am just seeing someone tmrw (not my surgeon) in Anaheim. I was told to begin the diet given to me and found out the other day from Kaiser that I should follow their paln at www.kp.org/misg. So I feel I am on the right track now. I dont thin...

I am feeling really good. Today seemed to be hard though. I am thinking too much about spinach salad with grilled chicken, avocados and a very good tasty dressing. I am wrong for feeling this way? However, I would not dare eat this. I am also feeling guilty, because I have not walked or exercised. I don't feel up to it now. Maybe I will start Sunday.

It went very well and I feel great. It was truly an experience.

Hi Everyone

I am sleeved and home.

I think of the wonderful times my Husband & I had and have. Yesterday while he was out, he called home to check in, which is not unusual. In our conversation he tells me how much he loves me & proud he is of me making a decision that will obviously make me happier inside. He says for me to be sure I am doing this for me & not for him or anyone else. And then he walks in the bedroom w/roses.

Yes, It keeps me focused.

surgery date february 18th

No thank you. I am patiently waiting for the date they have available for me. I am eager to have surgery, but my patience is more settle than anxious.

Hey Sleeve4Me

I have been soooo busy. I have not rcvd the surgery date yet. I had to take a Doppler test first to be sure I don't have blood clots because of the edema situation. I hope you are doing well. However, my chart is with the scheduler once the Doppler results are rcvd.

passing through. hoping things are great and getting smoother by the day.
