Sunday Weigh In

Good morning all. I am continuing to hold steady, with a lot of effort. Congratulations to our favorite lap bander, Lisa, on her success. If any of you read the main RNY board , and know Jenny Richter........I met her! She's in town visiting family and we met for dinner. What a sweet. beautiful lady she is. I love meeting my WLS friends. I hope everyone is doing well. I know we are all struggling, but we are all successes already. DOS 345 Today 195 150 disgusting pounds of fat gone forever And how was your week? Shar

Its been another rough week. My Mom had a stroke and I have been back and forth to the hospital. Good news-she is doing a lot better. I have packed a small ice chest to take with me each day. I tried the cafeteria for a snack one day. What a bunch of crap food. I thought since it was a hospital they would have healthier choices. WRONG! So, I take my own. Just another post wls tip. Back down to 159. Probably from the stress. It's okay, I'm still stable and pretty much maintaining.

I think we can say stress not sucess Shar. LOL I AM 191.6 this am and still cannot beleive I am safely under 200 zone. I am eating just stressed out and losing hair ack!!! 104 nasty ugly lbs gone for good Sharra I am so sorry to hear about your mom and her stroke Oh man I do feel your pain and the stress. I will send u my number privately if u like to talk to someone dealing with a stroked loved one in real time. So scarry to see them like this. Daughter update: she is still in rehab hosptial and still is not stable enough to transfer her out to a place called center for nuero skills to help her adjust and help with what she has lost . She is talking more clearly and is moving her leg and is moving her shoulder alittle. She can tranfer to toilet with moving her affected leg now but needs someone there and they got her to walk 70 feet with a walker and of course with a therapist dragging her foot but she is better than 2 weeks ago where we had no movements on the rt side. Even her smile is better and is in alot less pain in her chest. As far as open heart surgery recovery she is doing awesome. She is still not the same daughter we are use 2 but we do see some of her old self comming back time will tell on how much of a recovery she will have. I just need to be patient and remind my self she is young Lisa

Goodmorning girls! I went to my grandma's 80th birthday party yesterday and I cannot tell you how many people told me that I am now too skinny! I feel good and my lab work is ok, so I think I am doing just fine. Bouncing between 127 & 130 most days. Here are my stats: Highest: 276 DOS: 263 Last week: 128 Today: 129 Up 1 pound from last week, but I am learning to deal with the up a pound, down a pound. It used to freak me out, but I think I have learned that it is okay. Everyone have a great week! Lisa, Im glad your daughter is doing better. Sharra, Im sorry about your mom. I will keep them both in my prayers. Love to all Cindy

I am holding my own. I bounce from 158 to 160. i am cool with that. HW 292 DOS 287 Today 158 134 pounds of ugly fat gone forever!!!!

First off... Lisa I'm glad your daughter is making progress. I think of her often and remember her in my prayers. Sharra I'm sorry to hear about your mother. My father in law had 4 strokes just a couple weeks ago and is now in a nursing home for therapy. It's so scary to see our parents go through this stuff. I pray your mother gets better quick. I finally reached my goal weight and the weight my surgeon set for me. I am happy to say I weigh 135 pounds as of today!!!! Woohoo it feels so good to reach goal. I swear I never thought I'd weigh that again. I went to hear Katie Jay give a seminar on post WLS. She also wrote a couple weight loss books that I bought while there. I'm anxious to start reading them. Here's a link to her website... http://www.nawls.com/public/department58.cfm DOS: 247 Today: 135 Goal: 135 (YAY!) Total Loss: 112 pounds gone forever!!!!

Congrats Lisa! I just wanted to say thank you to all of you for all your thoughts and prayers. Mom is steadily improving and we are hoping she can be moved to a rehab hospital tomorrow. She really has an upbeat attitude and is trying very hard to get better-all marks in her favor. Thanks again A team...
