I can't believe we're finally on the losers bench! Congrats to everyone on this side of the journey. Keep us updated with your progress.

Our April first peeps are Deana Wright, MissMeagan and Nella. Ladies, tell us everything!

Im so sorry you are still having problems. Have they figured out the cause of your issues yet? Sorry if you've told us and I missed it. I truly hope you are back to normal and feeling better soon. Its no fun not feeling well. I am right there with you only my issue is the pain.

All the problems are neurological, but I also have two chronic pain conditions. They think I'm having migraine related vertigo...feels just like a stroke. I also have to have a vascular graft in my subclavian artery revised in sept...no fun and very scary. There is no cure for the migraines, if that's what it is...they think they can get them down to three or four a month....just tired of keeping my chin up. Went back to work part time, and am in so much pain...just too much at once. Sorry for the whining.

You are definitely NOT whining! That is too much for anyone tk handle! I only have one back problem and I feel like throwing in the towel at times. I couldnt even imagine the migraines you must get. Ive had a few but nothing terrible. I usually get them in the humidity we are having now. I will be thinking of you and hope that your procedure goes great. I can believe you are scared as anyone would be. We are here for moral support and well wishes ALWAYS! Take care and keep your chin up. Please keep us posted.

I've been dealing with chronic pain for 13 years...I know how rough it can be. Sucks, doesn't it?

So..as I'm a glutton for punishment I'm working a night shift. I'm tired and hoping I will be able to resist the urge to snack out of boredom. Of course as its a night shift I'm drinking my coffee. I did bring some protein with me to at least try to make sure it's pretty much in my guidelines if I do eat. Today was pretty blah as I ended up napping to prep for this shift and I also seem to be hit by a wicked sinus and allergy issue. I didn't hit the gym and prob should have..might have help the soreness I'm feeling from going hard the last few days. Hope y'all are doing well.

Way to throw your whole system off! Sleep and eating wise! seems like the sinus thing is going around. Ive heard many people say that. Hope you stay awake tonight!

Yikes! A little scary; both the area and the ass up in the air! Stay safe and awake!

Half my shift is licked just waiting for the other half to get done. So far so good. I just always say another day another adventure.

On a positive note..I've pretty much fully got my husband on board with the whole healthy life style. He has put on about 20lbs since June. He also has had 2 diff foot surgeries and is still now in a cam boot. He is seeing the light about our need to be healthier(rather his) as my diet has gotten alot better. Maybe will make it easier. He only has bought pizza one time this week that's a big start for him.

So I am ONE pound short of my goal. Today is my 43rd birthday and I wanted to be down 100 lbs total. I am 241 today. I missed it by 1 lb but I will take it!

Happy birthday!

After 16 days the scale has moved two pounds. Four more pounds until 100 down since my two week pre op dt.
