16 wks postop ~ 53 pounds down

I am 16 wks postop and have lost 53 pounds since surgery. That's about 3.31 lbs/wks. It's a healthy loss and I need to be happy with that. I am having trouble with staying focused on exercise. I'll have a few days and do great and then something happens and I get sidetracked or incompacitated with left sided pain that has plagued me since OR. I had a rib block that is injections into the left ribcage to decrease this pain I'm having. When I had this done, the anesthesiologist nicked my left lung and my lung collapsed! I spent 5 days in the hospital! Now I can't workout for a week or more. It's depressing.

congrats on your loss. Sounds like you have had a heck of a time though. Keep up the good work. Best wishes Jan Open RNY 3/24/03 62lbs lost!!!!
