So here goes... Pre-Op-255 now-189 Goal-130 Hugs and best wishes Cheryl

Well, I guess I will continue the weekly weigh-in. Ugh, though. Halloween was HARD. I haven't stayed completely away from all the candy, but better than I was. Congratulations, Cheryl, for staying away from the bad stuff! That's awesome! I am getting better. A friend of mine called herself a sugar *****; I think that I am, too! Must... stay... away... And congrats on your son's first b-day. I remember those days! They are so fun. Every age of my son has been my favorite. I love being a Mom! Anyway, here are my stats for today: Starting weight - 360 Surgery weight - 345 Today's weight - 250 Total weight lost - 110 (95 since surgery) Goal weight - 160 - I am over half way there!! Good luck everyone! I hope this week was successful for us all. Lisa

Day of surgery: 268 Today: 215 Goal: 147 53 pounds lost, 68 to go (give or take 20)

Hey y'all...here are my totals: Pre-op - 250 Weight- 190 pounds (60 pounds gone forever) Arms 11.5 (4.5 inches gone) Bust 35 (5 inches gone) Waist 34.5 (7.5 inches gone) Hips 44 (9.5 inches gone) Thigh 19.5 (5 inches gone) BMI--29.8 Total Inches gone - 34.5 I didn't lose any inches this week, but I've had a rough week. About 10 days ago, I started experiencing nausea and a stabbing pain where my pouch is. This is totally out of the blue because I've felt fabulous! I couldn't get in to see my surgeon right away, so the nurse told me to go to the ER if the pain got worse. Well it did...and I did. They ruled out a hernia or obstruction, gave me some IV fluids, as I wasn't getting down enough, and something for pain. I saw my doctor on Tuesday, and he was concerned, told me to continue pain meds and scheduled an EGD for Thursday. He was thinking an ulcer. The EGD showed nothing at all, which was good of course, but at least I would have known what was going on. I'm to go back this Tuesday, and they want me to do the barium thing. Last time I did it, I threw up for hours! So I'm not looking forward to that at all. The pain isn't constant anymore, it just comes and goes, mostly after I eat or drink. But he said the pouch was perfect, so we're a bit perplexed at the moment. I'm keeping a positive outlook though, was a size 24 and put on a size 14 shirt yesterday. What an incredible feeling. Funny but for the first time ever, I'm smaller than my husband and my daughter!!! (My hubby got weighed at the doctor the other day and he said he weighed heavy because he was wearing heavy shoes! ) Anyway, sorry so long winded....hope everyone has a great week! Kaitlain

Ack, Kaitlain! Good luck with everything. I'm so sorry you're having to go through this. Thank goodness they haven't found anything terribly wrong, but I do hope they find something easily fixable (so your pain/nausea will go away.) How scary!! Will be thinkining of you on Tuesday and hoping it goes better than last time. Ugh, I hate to throw up. GREAT job at being smaller than hubby! Must feel pretty good, huh? Take care hun. Lisa
