I am officially pre-op...

1. Is anybody still losing??? I lose about 1 or 2 pounds every other month or so. I am working to drop at least 10 more in the next 3 months though for a cruise. So I am up'ing my excerise and protien. 2. Does your life feel very busy??? Some days I can't slow down and others I am still a lump on the couch. 3. Are you more assertive??? Oh yeah. It kinda ****** some people off at work but whatever. I was way too quiet in my previous life. 4. Do you have new goals?? Yup, plastics. A tummy tuck and a boob lift are in my future. 5. What comlications have you had?? I had a stricture early on that went undiagnosed and caused me alot of issues. Once that was taken care of, life has been grand.

Hi Dawn ~ No excersise for the second day in a row for me. I had to go to registration tonight for my 5th grader for band next year. But tomorrow I plan on walking after work, and all weekend will be spent cleaning house, working in the yard, and taking some walks! Dawn how's your dad? Connie 269/175/163 surgeon's goal

Posting last but did my 40 mins exercise. yesterday. 4/27. Put me down for 35 mins exercise today. Already finished this morning. It's really something to be said about morning exercise. I get up in the morning and sweat like its raining; then if I don't get to exercise this evening it's okay because goal accomplished. But if I do get to exercise this evening it's like icing on the cake. ( no cake) Morning exercise is good!!! Pam

Thanks Dawn! I fell down on the job of posting exercise.... You are more than welcome to do it if you want while Tammy is gone. I can't guarantee that I will be able to do it so GO FOR IT!! I didn't exercise yesterday either.... boo hiss on me! Next week will be different! Lori
