Weight Loss--Roll Call

Hey Grouchetta, Sorry to hear about the wound but, your weight loss sounds great!!! You are doing awesome. I want to follow your lead. You are doing so well. I hope the wedding was a blast! And you got to show off the new shape developing! Hugs and Kisses, Sandy

Thanks, my weight loss seems so-so to me compared to others, but hey, I try not to compare I wish I could exercise more. Doc did give me the OK to do the Gazelle and or walking now, but there is a chance I will be getting hooked up to a wound vac [a contraption to help the wound heal faster] so I don't know how much that will hold me back ... the good thing is that hopefully the wound WILL finally heal and I can get on track with everyone else. The wedding was BORING, but my daughter was the flower girl, and SHE had a BLAST and staying in a hotel is always fun to me - I love having all that space and we had a super view of a bridge over the Hudson River. I don't see any SHAPE developing, but it's sweet of you to say I feel good that I MAY BE actually progressing, I really am so tired of still being sick and tired. HUGS BACK AT YA! xosm

Yay! I'm glad everything went well. Lizzie

Glad everything went well for you! wishing you a speedy recovery Darla

That's great! Oh the drain is awful! When they took it out it felt REALLY weird. Good luck with your recovery, I'll keep you in my prayers. Lizzie

I am so happy your home and doing good. Just take it one day at a time and don't push to much. Sip,sip,sip. haha!!!!!!!! God Bless Crystal

Hi, I am down 52 pounds as of today. I started at 390 at surgery and am now a happy 338. About a year ago I was at 440 so you can see why I am at a happy 338...I walk everyday and lift weights at least 3 times a week. I have a lot more energy and get a lot more things accomplished around my home. I'm off almost all of my meds and feeling very good. I've been able to cut out pain medications that I used for my back and hip and that's just wonderful!!!! I can't imagine being happier.

Lowi, To be off pain meds. You must feel like a new person. You sound liek you are working out enough for all of us. Happiness breeds into positivity so I bet everyone around you is glowing!! Hugs, Sandy

Good for you! I'll keep you in my prayers. Lizzie

I am 7 weeks out. I am bouncing between 35 to 40 pd weight lose. My scales are not exact I think it is the floor being off balance no matter where I put it I get a different reading. So I just leave it where it is. I know on the 10th my doctor said I had lost 31 pds. I will go by my pcp and get an accurate check wednesday or thursday for the record. As for exercise I am walking twice a day at least five times a week. I am going to try to sign up for the nex****er arobics class which will start the end of May beginning of june. I know I feel better and am doing a lot more outside and in the house. My house has not been so clean in a couple of years. closets, basement, and the utility room are all clean and straighten out. love marie
