I am on the way.....

I went for my check up at my PCP doctor and I was told that I had lost 23 pounds in 1 minth. WOW, I was shocked, the scale haden't moved very much for a while. The nurse was nasty and said how could you loose that much weight in a month ? She made me feel sad after the high of hearing how much weight I lost. To be even meaner she went to get the big cuff for blood pressure and I don't need it anymore, she was being very meen. I guess she was jellous, but she took the excitemnet out. Has anyone ran accross anyone that was like that? I have lost a total of 60 pounds and I am 10 weeks post op. I am very happy and I have noticed my clothes getting very baggy and my body reshaping. I am anxious for more to come off. I am thankful for the surgery and that i am doing good so far. Best Wishes to All ~ Jill

Jill, You are doing super, don't let Nurse Ratchett get you down. Some people just can't stand to see others do well and can't contain their jealousy. I can certainly sympathize with your knee problems. Fortunately, mine are getting better. Not normal yet, but its getting easier to walk and I no longer plan the shortest path to save every little step I can. I can now walk or stand long enough to go to the grocery store or shopping. There's still pain, but its getting tolerable. I'm down 65 pounds, so I hope you're experiencing some of the same. It must have made you feel good to not need the big cuff any more. Congratulations on your success ...... you deserve it! Windy

Jill, don't let anyone get you down!!! You are doing awesome and deserve to hear praise for those pounds. Shame on her for being so petty. You are doing great!!!! Keep up the good work, you deserve to be happy about your loss...
