How Did you Do Last Week?

Hi everyone!

I haven't been well the last week, so I've lost a bit more than usual. I can't get my ticker to work, but I'm at 179.8 this week.

I was scheduled to see the fill doctor on Thursday but HE had to cancel - he had a minor procedure a week ago and isn't ready to come back to work yet, so I wont' see him until next Thursday. I can live with that.

I just hope that I don't regain the extra pound I lost. It puts me just at the 20 pound loss mark, and I love it.

I did ok on Thanksgiving and then over the weekend for Shabbat. I got something stuck on Thursday & it took almost an hour of PB'ing to get it unstuck. Didn't lose much by way of real food, but still yukky. That was the end for me, so I did really good. Not the way I wanted to do it, though.

My illness has me feeling carsick all the time. My eye doctor thinks he found the problem, so hopefully once really bad things are ruled out I can get on meds & feel better. The upside - I'm eating a LOT less, LOL. Kind of like perpetual morning sickness, and there is NO way I could be preggers (no equipment anymore, and no husband, etc. - talk about a medical miracle if I was, LOL). Seems to be some Fluid around my brain that shouldn't be there, but it can be resolved with diuretics and one short course of cortisone. I can't start treatment, though, until they rule out the really scary stuff. Oh joy - rapture! It really isn't as bad as it sounds. I just have to wait to get my treatment so I can get feeling better, get back to the gym, etc...

That's my story. Hope you all had a fabulous Thanksgiving & Shabbat & weekend.

All the best,

I hope you are feeling better. It seems that this must be a very hard time of year for good weight loss. I needed a big unfil - 2cc - 2 weeks ago. I was throwing up a whole Shabbos, so I went to the emergency roo on Sunday after speaking to my doctor. I have gained some weight, but I am trying to stay very positive and holding on to my Monday afternoon appointment as my savior. I need to feel restriction again and get back on track - my goal feels so close already!!!
