105 !!! OMG The high here this week was only 101! I remember those Texas summer days of 117!! You are right, after loosing the weight, the heat is not that bad. I finally started back swerating this year. I stayed so cold last year that i never broke a sweat!
I am hoping to be in the 150's by middle of July!..HOPE! It was such a blessing for me to start loosing again after so long. I am grateful for every single pound i loose girl!!
Hubby had surgery almost 31 years ago and just recently gained back his weight. Has a problem with reflux among other things and in order to fix his stomach problems, he will need a revision. No, the insurance does not pay for it! Luckily for him, he is a Veteran and the VA will out source it to a qualified Dr of our choice.We had to pay cash for mine 2 years ago so, for his to be paid for is a blessing. I will keep you updated but you know how the VA is.... it may take forever!!! All the paperwork is suppose to be ready for the Dr end of July. So far, everything has been on time. Thanks for asking.
I am off to mow...I swear, someone keeps putting Miracle Grow on my lawn when I am a sleep! You would think the heat would kill the grass....
Hope you have a Happy & Safe 4th!!

Wow Lisa, I was kinda late checking in and thought I would be one of the last ones......Where is everyone?
My week has been ok....just ok. The high lite was seeing that grandbaby of mine...he is 9lbs now!
My DH is getting closer and closer to finalizing a revision. Hopefully by the end of the summer. I am still at 162 today. I think these last 12lbs I have lost has really made people notice how much weight I have lost. It is almost embarassing to me sometimes. Anyway, hope everyone will check in today....it's to hot to do anything but shop or swim..hummmm think I will take a swim, easier on the pocketbook and better exercise!
DOS 289
L/W 162
Today 162 Total loss 127

Strangely I have the complete opposite effect when I drink. When I first start to drink it effects me right away... I get a little bubbly in the head. But then it quickly wears off and then nothing. I mean I can drink like 6 beers and it hardly effects me. Of course I don't do that very often.... I try to keep it to only 2 beers or 2 glasses of wine when I drink socially (which isn't very often). I stay away from mixed drinks like daquiris because of the sugar in them.  I kinda wish the bubbly feeling would last a bit longer on only one drink. That would be less calories than having 2 or 3 drinks! lol

Welcome back to some of you. You have been missed and I am sure have some things to add.
My weight is a bit down. I have been making better choices. However, I had a large finals race this weekend and have to admit I really overindulged Saturday night. Not with food-it was tequila! I have been very diligent and have not drank in a 2 1/2 years. Sure is weird how alcohol affects us after surgery.
I am glad that some of us are finding happiness. We need to keep ourselves open to all of life's possibilities.
Status-hanging in there!

This is wonerful news cindy.. You deserve it !!! Just take it now as a blessing in your life God gave you someone to be  companion. I know you have been threw so much. I would do anything to give u the lbs I am so easely gaining, I went on hike yesterday and ate right and I gained 2 lbs? My body just loves to gain so easy, I have to be on strick diet and watch my carbs and no more soda. I really feel very swollen and puffy this am so I am hoping cranberry juice (diet) will help me flush out the water gain. I think sometimes are bodies do werid things and this must be what mine is doing. I will mentally send some lbs your way.. Don't thank me LOL trust me all pleasure all mine shedding weight. and donating to a worthy cause oh how i wi**** really worked that way I really do. I bet you never thought you would have a weight losing issue.
