Hey stranger!!!
Well-
Sitting at 135- which is decent- up 20 from lowest- but actually down 10 recently, would realistically like to drop another 10 and then would be comfy.
Got the news today tumor is benign!!! :) Yes!!!!
Still doing monthly infusions like clockwork. Yesterday got a penicillin shot in my a$$. Anyone else's immune system shot to hell? Triplets having just finished rotating through strep and I just slept for 48 hours. I am becoming a sloth. My Christmas tree is still up!!! How embarrassing!!
Good to be here!!!

Haaa! You wouldn't believe how many times I have heard that during my lifetime! lol
Even when I was "naturally" thin, in my teen days, I always weighed about 20 pounds more than other girls exactly my size. I know I have a decent amount of natural muscle mass and a relatively stout bone structure. I have super narrow hips and no butt, and a really wide ribcage and shoulders...often a really crappy combo. Genetics: sometimes a blessing, sometimes a curse.
But, I do have to tell you...you are small...even if you don't see it yet. I don't always see it in myself either, so we are in good company!

Good Monday Morning My January Lovelies!
Tomorrow marks 5 weeks out of plastics for me! Yay!!! Only one more week to go before I can medically ditch my compression garment...though I won't be surprised if I need it from time to time to control swelling.
My weight is up and down, up and down....I have no idea what is water and what isn't. Oh well, it may be months before I settle down.
Surgery/high: 251.5
Two weeks ago: 145.8
Today:145.6
Let's hear what you have to say...get in here and post, damn it! This place is becoming a ghost town just about the time everyone is having their third anniversary.
I would love to know what's new and not-so-new in everyone's lives.

Wow, sweetie...it sounds like a whirlwind has been going on in your life lately! Of course, I hope to hear good news about your tests...sadly, the symptoms are becoming common to a lot of us.
And I truly hope you are happy or at least at peace with patching things up with your husband. Marriage just plain sucks sometimes...but, sometimes it's worth the trouble.
I'll see you on Monday!

I'll weigh-in on Monday...
Been thinkin of you Suz- glad it all went well...
am waiting to hear on Monday if a tumor in my pancreas is cancerous or not- don't think it is-
they think that may be what has been causing all the hypoglycemia episodes- passing out, seizures...
I can drive again!!! I just have to test before I drive and pull over if I feel bad!!!
and my husband moved back in- well that sums up 6 months!!! :)
See you Monday!!! :)

I am three weeks out tomorrow...but it seems like a lifetime since surgery! My incisions are still tender around my thighs and a lot of feeling is coming back all over...so, there are still plenty of sore and swollen days ahead for me, I'm afraid. 
Amazingly, I, too, am wishing I could lift weights, or even laundry for that matter!

Hi Suz - Glad you are starting to feel "normal".
I still ask myself how long does it take to feel normal??? I will feel fine and have very minimal swelling most days, then out of the blue will be sore and swollen. I am trying to get back to walking on the treadmill, but seems like it causes me to swell. But I guess I can live with that - I can't live with not walking. I hope I can start back on some weights soon as well.
I think I was 158 last time we posted
Today 161
Still trying to get to 142
Have a great week all!

Good Monday Afternoon My January Lovelies!
A little late today...and honestly, I almost didn't post this thread at all, but I need to get back in the swing of things as much as I am able. My weight is still not a "true" account due to swelling from plastics. However, I'm going to keep track anyway...
Surgery/high: 251.5
Last Monday: 145.8
Today: 143.0
So, I'm down nearly 3 pounds of water...that's a very good thing!! I still, of course, have no idea where my weight will end up once the majority of swelling is gone, but under 140 wouldn't make me cry! lol
Let's hear what is new or old in your lives...get in here and post!!! In the meantime, make it a fantastic week!!
