Back to Work

I started back to work yesterday.... WoW everyone was going crazy about how good I look... It made me so happy almost embarassed I really don't know what to say or do all I do is smile and say thanks... I have only lost 50ish lbs, man I cant wait until I loose like 100 lbs... Watch out world lol

Glad to see you made it back and I hope everything is going well. I have been back since April 9th and no HUGE problems, although my a$$ of a boss wouldn't help with my restrictions. Hope things continue to go great! Becky R 254/210/154

Congratulations! You say you have ONLY lost 50 pounds! I wish I could say the same. I'm only down 30 pounds and had surgery on 3/30. You're way ahead of me. I'd love to be in your shoes. Anyway, I went back to work on April 18, so have been back for 1 month. I've had a few setbacks due to having strictures and having to have some scopes done, but I'm trying to hang in there. I just wish I was as happy and successful as what you have been. Great job! Sue

I had a stricture also... Not fun... I felt wonderful the day after I had my scope, but was really sick before that... You are doing wonderful also... I think everyone is different and that is why some loose faster than others, but eventually we will all get to the same place... Keep up the good work

Hey Suzy Q, My name is Kelly, and I have only lost 36lbs. which is nothing compared to soo many others. i totally know how you feel! It's frustrating because I'm doing everything right, I'm even exercising 6 days per week. I haven't had any problems and I just started back to work this week and I do feel great. We will catch up with the others soon enough-keep up the good work! Love kelly

Paula--congrats on your big loss! Rock on. I too had a stricture and came home from the hospital yesterday. I am popping antacids which does help calm things down. I am able to drink now without vomiting ( a step in the right direction) I was just 2 pounds shy of 50 lbs, when I went into the hospital last week and because I was on so much IV fluids, I gained 14 lbs!!! GRRRRRR..but that will come off soon enough. Anyway, congrats on your loss. Keep up the good work! Courtney

Paula, Way to go! 50ish pounds is great! I have been thinking about you lately and was wondering how you were doing. Then I seen Tabitha post on the Ohio board on your behalf, then I got your email and just have not had time to respond. I am so happy for you! We are going to try to make the Circleville meeting, but I don't know for sure. If so, I hope to see you there Mary
