Hi Everyone,

Just wanted to give a quick update. The first of the month found me in the hospital for about 2 weeks with severe nausea and vomitting (dry heaves really). Well today - I FEEL GREAT! It is almost like that time never even happened. Of course as the hospital bills start rolling in I get a quick reminder. ugh. That's ok though. If that is what it took to start a healthy lifestyle then that is what it took and I'll just do what I have to do. I'm still trying to get use to finding the foods that work best for me but I'm learning.

It may have taken me a couple of weeks of being seriously ill and LOTS of money, but I know in my heart that if I had not had the surgery, my life would have continued to be less than what I deserved because of my weight issues. I am already off 2 blood pressure meds and my sugar levels are perfect! the hubby says the snoring is minimal now:blush:. I'm still at a stall as far as weight goes but I'm not stressing about that either.

Thanks for all of your support,

Congratulations. I am glad to hear that you are doing better.

Lucy, I absolutely love your attitude about all you've endured. I'm so glad you are feeling better, and each day will get better.

Keep us posted ! ! !

Thanks,

For some reason my ticker will not update correctly. It should show that since surgery on Dec 8th I have lost 43 pounds.

I am so glad you are doing better Lucy! Congratulations on the weight loss too! Keep us posted.

Hi Lucy, I'm really happy to read that you're feeling great!

Good to hear that you are doing fine. It is such a great feeling when you are off the medications coz then you start feeling that you did the right thing for healthier life. Good to hear that your sugar level is also back to normal and yes, your hubby must be getting a goodnight sleep with less snoring of urs !!:001_tongue:

Hey Lucygoose,

I'm also very thrilled to hear that you are feeling great!!! What a journey, but no place to go but up!!!:confused1:

Lucygoose, did you ever find out what it was that was making you ill? You had mentioned earlier that it did not have anything to do with your actual sleeve- so what caused all your symptoms? Really curious.

I am glad you are feeling better - and yeay for no snoring

I am glad to hear you're doing better too! It always makes me so sad to read that people are having a rough recovery since I had it so easy.

I am so glad to read that today you're feeling GREAT!
