ENJOY NEW LIFE

Well, I am about 6 weeks this Friday and feeling good(most of the time) and want to remind myself why I did this. I FEEL BETTER. (most of the time) and yes, I must remind myself a million times a day that it will get better and keep getting better. I have lost about 14 Kilo's about 30 lbs and have been stuck there for about a week.. YES< A PLATEAU. and I hate it, BUT I have lost 14 kilo's which is a LOT. I think we all get into the difficult moments and forget the good stuff. I am following orders from both surgeon and Nutritionalist as closely as possible( I am struggling to eat every hour per nutritionalist but ding what I can to get in as much at 110 g of protein a day!! Yes, believe me< it is like eating ALL DAY. But, I have lost weight and IT WILL KEEP GETTING BETTER!! So may we remind each other each day to keep up the water and protein and look for the positive each day: Today I am celebrating that my Knees feel better even when I have been walking a lot...less pain than ever before!! Take care all other Sept Surgery date folks and keep smiling even if it hurts: Remember the positive and that could help ya through the rest... I will be thinking of you all while I am here working in rainy Germany. Jacjac

Hi Jacjac, Thank you for such an inspirational message!! Sometimes I can get down comparing myself to others and their progress. But we are all in this together and we each have our own goals to reach in front of us. You are right, it is so important to remain positive!! Thanks for reminding me of that!! I had my surgery on 9-12-05 and have lost 34lbs. But for a while there the scale was at a stand still. But I made sure I was drinking 64oz of water and it started moving again. Take care, Dawn
