Hey everyone going through Kaiser Richmond!!

Where are you in the process?

Sixty what? Pounds lost??? Inquiring minds want to know??? Hehehe, lol.

Hey all, I had my fill today with Dr. Baggs and he gave me 2cc's so I'm at 4.5 cc's now. Not much else besides that for an update...he gave me a goal of 5 lbs to lose before my next fill in one month. I'm gonna kick that 5 lbs BUTT!!!

I was surprised that they've changed the 24 hours of clear liquids to 48 hours...that sucks! I'm friggin' starving and it's only been about 12 hours. BOO. Oh well, maybe I'll get a nice jump start to my weight loss this way. I'm hoping it won't affect my nursing Dex. If I notice a drop in my milk supply I'll start adding in runny cream of wheat, oatmeal, etc before my 48 hours is up.

Yeppers, finally hit the 60 pounds lost mark....I couldnt get past 59 for days.......that makes 27 pds lost since surgery on 4/26. Things are really slowing down in the weight loss but I recommitted to my excercise so I can try to keep it at at least 2 pds a week.

:thumbup:Congrats on the SIXTY pounds that is amazing!!!!!!!!!!:sigh::thumbup:

I live in Citrus Heights too so after the surgery we will have to meet up and keep each other on track :tongue: Sounds like you have it down so I will just learn from you.

Hope you all have a wonderful day :thumbup:

Congrats Ali!!!!

On a side note, Chrissy is having her surgery today, lets all wish her an uneventful surgery and a speedy recovery!!!

Thinking about you Chrissy! I know you will check in as soon as you can and give us all the details!

Great job Ali :sigh:

Wishing you the best Chrissy..

My surgery is next tuesday, 31 pounds lost pre op

Have a great day everyone..

Chrissy is in recovery. She went in at 8 this am and was out by 9:30. Surgery went perfect. April and Dave are there with her. She did great!! Just wanted to let everyone know.

Congrats Ali thats awesome!!

CoCo - so good to hear from you. Life sounds really good. so happy for you. If you talk to Chrissy tell I am thinking about her and wishing her a quick recovery.

Ali - WOO HOO! 60 lbs is awesome. Great job!

Sherri, Becca - welcome! Great group here with lots of info to share - and they will make you laugh, especially if we get Candra, Riley and Jess going!

Chris - so glad you are back and starting back on your journey. You will live a long life with it for your kids. The liquids is the last time I lost weight after my fill - I don't think I have the right restriction, but am also not always making good choices. Wishing you the best.

Tina - 5 lbs sounds great right now to me! (I haven't lost in a month.) Hope the stress is a little better.

Tamra - how are you? where are you?

Pam - I like your new picture - you look great and your ticker shows you are losing again. So happy for you!

John - thanks - good to hear from you.

So am eating better, although portions are not what the book says. (For lunch I am eating 1/2 cup of brown rice with 2 cups of stir fry chicken and veggies - a good choice but lots more than I should be able to eat.) Need to stop snacking at night. Exercise is better - walked on Monday morning for an hour, went to Yoga last night for 1 hour 15 mins, Tonight I plan to walk after work, since I didn't walk this morning, which means I won't be going to the Richmond support group tonight.

Everyone else, hope you are well and having a good week. I am loving the weather we are having.

Glad to hear you are out and everything went well Chrissy.

A guy I work near stopped me today and said I look good and that he can tell I am losing weight. I've only lost 17 lbs over the last month and a half but I am also wearing better fitting clothes. Made me feel good. I have some clothes to bring to the meeting on the 26th - have to give up the diaper butt pants - I can hear Candra in my head everytime I wear them.

Yeah for Chrissy!

Pam, that is so awesome! It is such a good feeling when people notice. I now think about all the times when I noticed that people had lost weight and I never said anything...I should have said something because now I know how good it feels to hear that.

You have worked hard and deserve the compliments!

Hope Chrissy is doing good tonight!

Who's up next for surgery?
