My WLS Update

Way to go Greg...and all of you!! Aren't we something? I never thought I could really, really lose weight and have it STAY OFF, but I am beginning to think this might be the case.....HOPE SO!! I am stuck in a stall at the moment...so very frustrating...up and down the same blasted 1.5 lbs for the past week or so.......... My diuretic has been cut in half due to low bp (IMAGINE??) so that might account for the little bit of gain, but my pouch has been very grouchy, so I would think the throwing up might balance the fluid retention, lol..........NOT! BUT then again, my carb intake has been a bit higher than usual.........go figure.........or better yet, go walk! Keep up the good work everyone! Wesie, who is excited about soon starting water aerobics now that the wound infection is ALMOST healed up!!!................but has a ferocious pain on the left that started Thurs pm...........saw my new PCP, but he said it was "nothing"...........hmmmmm......probably will call the surgeon on Mon or Tues if it is not a lot better........

Hi Greg, Congratulations on your -30. Loose pants are a good problem to have in this journey. Thanks, Lisa

You have done very well....that is just wonderful...I have lost give or take 32 pounds in 5 weeks...i try to just weigh once a week..no way would i have gotten this much off before...

Hi Tweety, 32 pound is great. Some of my weight loss is probably because of my nausea. You are doing great. I only count my weight when I weigh at my surgeons office, that is my official scale. My scale at hime is always different from theirs by about 5 pounds, 10 if I move it to a different location on the floor. Keep up the good work. Lisa G

Ha..I count my weight at home rather than at the surgeon's. I have an old timey "doctor's scale" with the weights that you move....and I weigh without the added burden of clothes at home, lol!! So to me,. that is my REAL weight! Don't think I will be shedding the clothes in the hallway at the doc's office! Besides, his digital scale will change numbers if you wiggle! No nausea, no vomiting for two days, but the pain persists.....and not constipated, lol. (I know, I know..too much information!!) Guess I will be calling......

Louisa, You sound like my kind of girl... (I tend to give too much information as well on occasion!!...) I was reading some posts last night and that pain on the left side seems to be a normal thing. But to be on the safe side... you know the drill. It was post after post of folks who said they had that same pain. Hope and pray everything is aok!!! Wanda
