Oh Janie, of course you are in my thoughts and prayers. Please keep us updated. Sure doesn't sound normal. I hate that you are having to go through this Janie. (((hugs))) Anna

Hi Janie - So sorry your having a tough recovery. It sounds really painful..... i hope you can get some relief from pain meds. I actually went back to work on monday, and that was the really the first day I felt normal again. I was surprised how my surgery knocked the stuffing out of me. I went back to surgeon and was all cleared, incisions are closed and almost gone already and I've lost all the gas they pumped in me. I'm back down to 156 ish.... When I was at the surgeons I was down 3 pounds from when I went in february, which means i'm still losing - even at a snails pace. Enough about me..... I really hope you start to feel better and that there is nothing seriously wrong. take care - Marta

sorry- stuck in the American Airlines saga- halfway to disneyworld with triplets is NOT fun!!! I am WAY out of my window- which is slowly becoming a door- by the time this vacation is over I bet I'll be 10 pounds over- but then I'll be home and get back to basics... I'll be back for weigh-in on the 21st- Holly

Thanks for the update- I'm glad you're doing so well!!! The pictures of your face and your transformation are almost unbelievable- wow- what a difference. Great job- Holly

Belle - your tummy looks really great! You should be very pleased. Marilyn
