Topic: RE: Finally in to see the doc today
Michelle,
Have you had any kind of infection lately? I told my doc yesterday that I'm losing now and not even trying and I assumed it is because my body is using the calories to heal and he said that is true. He said burn patients need about twice their daily requirements to heal. I guess I'm in for a shock when I'm totally healed! I'll probably gain 20 pounds overnight!!!
Keep an eye on the rate of weight loss and I hope it doesn't get extreme! Congrats on the perfect labs!

Good to see you on the board!! Time is flying because we're all so busy but I hope things get back to normal around here following New Year's! Ok, repeat after me: Candy tastes TERRIBLE, Candy Tastes TERRIBLE!!! Did it work?!

Congrats on the great job you have done so far.... I know all about wishing candy would make you sick... I don't get sick from it either... at least from the little bites I have taken here and there.... I don't know what a whole candy bar would do to me, but I am just not going to try it... I am sure you will find the will power somewhere... it is a tough road we have ahead of us and we need the support or our friends... try and get back here more often, I know it sure does help me..... Good Luck over the holidays....
Hugs,

Glad to see you back. It is a really stressfull time of year and food seems to be available everywhere. I'm having a lot of trouble with snacking also and I can eat most things too. I'm just making it through the Holidays one day at a time and trying get in exercise and relaxation time for me.

I have missed you and I am sad to say I have not had any time to post or read lately. Nothing has changed with my weight. I hover at 155 for the last almost 4 months. The bad bad bad news is that I am eating candy and I can't seem to stop. I wi**** made me sick but it doesn't and I have zero will power. The good news is that it hasn't affected my weight (yet anyway). It is depressing me but at the same time, healthwise anyway I feel great.
I am going to try to come here more often although it may be after the holidays are over (cause it is a really busy time at work). I miss you all and I miss the encouragements and friendships that are always here and always available. I appreciate each and every one of you.
Hope to see you here again real soon...
HUGS

Sounds like a great day CeCe.
I have the same problem now. I am a compulsive clothes shopper, too! I had to cut myself off for the rest of the month. It was getting ridiculous!!

This morning I had my appointment with my surgeon. Of course I was up 3 lb due to AF, not that it is alot but it didn't show the true low I am at. He said he was concerned with how fast I lost 8 1/2 weeks and how far I am out from surgery, just one year out, but overall he said that each person is different in how their bodies handle this change. I did take a 2 1/2 month plateau this summer, which he said actaully balances the weight loss that I just occured. He had my blood work done before I went in and everything is perfect and I feel great. His last words were keep up the good work, keep exercising and eating how I am doing and only if I lose more than 3lb a week for 2 or more consecutive weeks at this point he thinks I will level off now and be at goal. He also expressed that I am below each of our target goal weights so I will keep trudging along and hopefully this will just level off and I won't have anything more to worry about it.
Thanks to all of you for all your support!!
