so i went to dr. gansers yesterday and had my first follow up appointment.

Heres the basics:

- I am down to 374 from 386 =) and he said i have probably at least 10-15 lbs of Water and swelling on me.

- I am out of liquid phase and have moved on to mushies and he told me when I feel I am ready to go ahead and experiment with "solids"

- all my battle wounds look great except where the port is, it looks to be infected so I got an antibiotic and they covered it with sterile strips (its kinda gross all leaking and everything)

so.. i leave for california today for 2 weeks. I am taking my computer but leaving my hubby behind! hehe its gonna be weird being gone 2 weeks and coming back to him after loosing even more weight. Hopefully things keep coming off as well as it has. I want to drop a size or 2 pretty fast for my new job.

anyways theres my details =) ill check back from california but not as often im sure hehe

Hey Katie, are you going to CA for job training for your new job? or is this a "pleasure" trip?

take good care of that port infection...we don't need any more gaping wounds around here! Glad you got the antibiotic. Keep it clean and dry.

Take your sweet time on solids...it will be there later. Heal up first.

I am SO glad you are healing up now. You had a rough go of it in the beginning. It's neat to see you bouncing back so well! Have fun in California!

im going to california to help my sister at my parents elderly care home while my mom and dad go to ohio to see my brother graduate from the police academy.

im not to ready to start working but i figure 2 weeks of helping out here and there will help me prepare for my job that starts 2 days after i get home hehe
