Monday morning weigh Ins!!!

I can not believe they can't figure out what is the cause of the swelling. Didn't you say they mentioned your salt intake? Have you cut down on that? I hope they figure it out soon for ya.

I didn't know you had your gall bladder out! I hope you are feeling world's better and back to yourself. Hugs, Katy

Thanks Katy!! I feel great! The soreness is just about all gone and I am beginning to enjoy my time from work!

Good Monday Morning My January Lovelies! Where has the summer gone? I can't believe that Labor Day is nearly upon us and that fall is right around the corner. In our area, the arrival of the California State Fair signals the end of summer...but, unfortunately not the heat! We spent most of the day there yesterday and, all I ate was an organic, locally farm-grown nectarine. It was so tasty. Then, we ate at Bucca de Beppo for dinner. It was okay, but I wouldn't eat there again. Too much food! Then, back to the fair to walk it off. Anyway, my weight is doing weird things lately. I have no explanation. Here's the numbers: Surgery/high: 251.5 Last Thursday: 142.2 Today: 138.8????? Loss/gain: 3.4 pounds!! Okay, so I dropped 3.4 pounds almost overnight. I didn't do anything different that I can see. And, on top of that...I'm dipping further into the 30's, which is not really where I should be. Maybe it's all the edamame I've been eating lately? I am sure that my appetite will pick up any day now and I will gain it back. In any case...make it a great week, ladies! ~Suz

Hello Ladies! HW 327 SW 299 LW 153 CW 149 (-4 lbs) No idea why I dropped 4 pounds... maybe it is going back to work now that school is back in. Oh well. Although it is kind of a kick to see the 140's, I really need to steer clear of them. I also am getting a lot of those "You're done, aren't you!?" and "You are too skinny!" types of comments. Someone brought me a brownie and told me I looked like I needed it at a PTO dinner last week. It was funny, though, not insulting. I am really happy in the low 150's and want to stay put. Steph- I said a prayer for you. I know you have had a lot of struggles lately. I sure hope you recover super quick from your surgery.

Good morning! Way to go Stacey! I had wondered about what power pump was but hadn't taken the time to look into it. I am just doing my upper body weights here at home. I have knee surgery the Friday after Labor Day and hopefully I will rehab and get back to normal quickly. As for boobs, I highly recommend Victoria's Secret. They have some bras that work miracles until surgery. I was at my doc's picking up vitamins and getting a B12 shot when one of the girls I have encouraged pulled me into her appointment with her. She is 6 months out and down 120. The three of us got into a plastic surgery discussion and we asked him about bat wings and why some of the work from the same surgeons varies in appearance so much. He said it depended on how much fat you lost before surgery. If you were really down to skin, it would be a pretty incision, depending on the doc but if you still had fat the incision heals jagged and not very pretty. He said your skin takes at least a year to finish sucking itself up on its own. I thought it was interesting. As for my weigh in, HW 368 SW 358 LW 205 CW 204 from a size 34 to a size 14 Katy
