1. What types of food did you eat this week? Yogurt, poached eggs on english muffins, egg salad, SF jello w/ mandarin oranges, cottage cheese, peas, 1/2 FF Turkey Dog, Turkey burger (ruby tuesdays), mashed potatos, shrimp, chili, mostly the same. 2. What types of exercise did you do this week? Not too much, just at volleyball practice. Got two teeth pulled, been in lots of pain. 3. How much weight did you lose? Total loss? I think I lost 2 pounds. My scale has been so weird. I can't keep up with it. My last weight said 251.5. Started at 300 4. What was your biggest challenge? Feeling like crap from the dental work. 5. Will you be walking for Obesity this weekend? Yes, I've been sponsored and will be walking in Suffolk, Virginia. I'm excited. 3 miles for a great cause. Hope all of you are getting invovled too! *Fun bonus question: Are you excited for your next high school reunion? Do you plan on going? Anything about school memories you want to share? I haven't been to a reunion yet. It's been 12 years since I got out of highschool. Technically, I didn't graduate where I went to my senior year, but I've recently found a lot of them on MySpace. Once I'm at goal, I would love to show off my progress. I wasn't "fat" in highschool, but I was "bigger" than all the other girls. Especially taller. It was rediculous but some jerks still wrote "Have a whale of a summer" in my 8th grade notebook. I'm proud of who I am, fat or not. I hope they can say the same thing.

Linda, My surgeon offers it to everyone when they are discharged from the hospital. Stupid me ofcourse thought I wouldnt need it so I didnt take it. Two weeks later I was calling her and begging for it...LOL Figured I would try it for 6 months. I will try this spring to wean off of it. So Yes I take Lexapro and swear by the stuff. It keeps me from crying all the time. Mariah

Topic: RE: Gain during cycle?? Ten Pounds??
I must be strange... I seem to lose 8-10 lbs when my cycle hits but I don't lose much during the rest of the month. I guess it evens out. You could be just gaining water weight, drink more fluids and reduce your salt intake and see if that helps. Kim

I've never gained 10 pounds, but I have seen a fluctuation up of 6 pounds. We are all differant, though. Have you had a major increase in your sodium intake? Any medicines you might be taking. Please don't worry, just wait the week out and know that you'll be fine!

Topic: Gain during cycle?? Ten Pounds??
I know that prior to surgery, I gained weight during my monthly cycle, but never weighed. But I just realized that on day 2, I GAINED TEN POUNDS from the day before it started. I just now use my scale to check my weight more frequently. For all of the gals out there, do you gain? TEN POUNDS??????? What the heck is wrong with me??????

Jezia, I know how u feel. Its just a waiting game at this point... That is the one thing I really stress now to pre and newly post ops. That u think the waiting is over when u get your insurance approval but its just the first of many stages of waiting. Waiting for the wt to come off, waiting for the ps approval...healing from that. just the list can go on and one I had a great day today. I got a really edggy hair cut. I got to see 2 ppl today that I hadnt seen since my surgery and they were totally blow away.... Of course I had to end up telling them that I had surgery but they were still very happy for me and kept congradulating me...I told them made me feel like I was having a baby or something with all the well wishes and hugs I was getting. That really did alot for my mood today. Feels like Im floating on air. Mariah
