Six weeks post-op

Getting ready to return to work and I feel great. I was 296lbs and now I'm 255lbs, from size 22 to size 20. Not too shabby...

Marty, I'm with you on this one! We had surgery the same day and I'm down a total of 30 lbs. GGrrrrrrrrrrr, Ggrrrrrrrrrrrr, and double GGGrrrrrrrrrrr! Lani

Well Im headed to see the doc for my 6 week check up here in a couple of hours. Im a little bummed, but also I understand whats wrong. Two weeks ago, my hubby started having gall bladder problems. After a useless emergency room visit and countless testing, we found out he was packed full of gall stones and needed surgery. Since then, Ive been sitting on my rear end and babying him. I havent been able to go work out or anything. So, I have missed my first goal. I wanted to be under 300 by the visit today, and Im stuck at 305. The thought that I have screwed up again is plaguing me, even though I know it was beyond my control. Just how much excersise can one do in a hospital room anyway... Im down 39 pounds. Ive lost 49.5 inches. So I dont have exactly too much to complain about. Thats 39 pounds and 49.5 inches I would have still been lugging around had it not been for surgery. Keep your chin up. Things will get better. Take care! Hugs, Deb
