Hey everyone!

Just wanted to check in and see how everyone is doing. I started a new job about a month ago and am loving it. But, I'm not able to be here as much as I want to anymore. I went for one of my 6 week weigh-ins as required by my surgeon. 5 weeks ago when I was there I weighed 136, I had just had my bowel obstruction surgery and was 6 lbs. from goal. I really hoped I would make goal by my next visit. Well, at this visit, I was 124.5!!! I was amazed that I am still losing that fast. They said the second surgery probably had a lot to do with it, but I'm not complaining. Anyway, I am now 120 and don't want to lose anymore. They told me to not skip any meals or snacks. They said to always carry some kind of fruit or healthy snack for me. They told me if I was still trying to lose weight, they wouldn't recommend fruit, but it's o.k. for maintaining. And they said if I find I'm still losing, I could add a protein drink or two. I am feeling amazing. Can't wait to get a tummy tuck. Actually, I would love to have a lower body lift, I just have to check in to how much it costs. My butt is a little saggy, my thighs are horrible and this tummy has to go. I won't even get started on my boobs right now. . Take Care, Marcia

Hey, Marcia, good to see you back on the boards. It sounds like things are going well for you - what a blessing! Good luck settling into a nice maintenance groove now - I'm sure you'll do just fine Have a great weekend - Kellie
