2 more days until surgery early Monday morning. I am super nervous now. Hoping for a busy weekend to keep my mind occupied.

Jennolsen,

How are you?

Jewels,

How are you?

I hope both of you are well. Got into the routine of a hectic work schedule. I've stalled weight wise. It nice a lb in the last day but hopefully it will stay dry losing fast. Getting worries.

How did your 3 Rd week go?

Hi Casper,

I am doing well. I am down 40# since my preop diet and 26.4 since surgery. Less than 1/2 of a pound and I am in Onderland! I am sorry to hear you have slowed. I am slowing down from the first few weeks but I did not stall. I am doing well with food, I am able to take in all forms of Protein with no problem as long as they are moist, I do not need to puree. That feels great! I have been walking and I feel great. I am thinking about trying some other things for exercise, I will be released this week for more activity.

How about you?

Jewels, I am wondering about you too, are you doing better?

Casper? Jewels? How are you two doing?

Hey Jennolsen ,

I'm doing well. How are you? How is the weight loss?

So far things are going well. I still have to figure out what works and what doesn't. Losing weight slowly but surely.

I never heard back from Jewels. ???? I hope she is ok.

Nice to hear from you.

I am doing great. Down 56.8 over all, 45 since surgery. I am exercising and feeling stronger every day. Not so sure what to do in times of stress yet but I'm working on that. Good to hear from you too.

Good luck. I will be so happy you did it. I have no regrets. Remember to walk walk walk.

Jennolsen ,

That's great. So far in down 71 lbs since starting the pre op diet and 42 since surgery. I've been going to the gym also. I over did it one day but I got in a groove now. Yes I haven't had any stress yet so I'm not sure how to handle it either. I'm also dealing with the holidays. I'm so used to eating all the comforting things when now I'll be lucky to have a peice of turkey. But it's all about finding a new us. New ways to live and be healthy. We will see how it goes.
