don't give up, then u'll be waiting the rest of ur life to loose weight (u know what i'm saying) three weeks is a lot shorter then never -hang in there-  

I had surgery on Wednesday, late afternoon. I remember seeing the clock when I got back to my room and it was 9:50 PM! I was up most of the night in the hospital. Apparently, I may have sleep apnea. Everytime I would fall asleep the alarms would go off saying I wasn't getting enough oxygen. They released me at 9 the next morning, less than 12 hours after making it back to my room. I've been at home since. The next 2 days were easy. Today has been hard. Today I am exhausted...can barely move. I guess the surgery finally caught up with my body. I'm doing what I'm suppose to be doing. I know it will get better. My belly makes noises all the time and I'm constantly in the bathroom. I just needed to connect with the board where I could get some encouragement. Thanks. Lindsey

Glad you are feeling better.  Keep resting and sipping.  You will be up and around in no time.
I will be thinking about you.

Well, I am with you.  I start soft foods on Monday which can't come too soon.  I can no longer stand the thought of jello or broth.  SF Hot Cocoa gives the runs unless you buy it with splenda.  But, the no sugar added Carnaation Instant breakfast is wonderful.  That, tea, and water is all I can stomache at this point.  I have lost quite a bit of weight, but I think the bigger someone is the more they will lose at first.  I will begin my stint at the gym on Monday.  Luckily, I absolutely love working out.  Now, I won't ache so much afterwards as the weight goes off.  I've always loved sports and cannot wait to dive in.  I still have a lot of pain around my belly button and on my right side, but I have a check up on Monday.  Keep moving strong.  We are all victorious.  Bobbi 

Glad to hear your bac****ep up the good work!!!
