Topic: RE: Where Has Everyone Gone?
They're putting in a handicap bathroom this weekend, so we have some work to do. We're buying the tub/shower. It's something she really needs, poor kid.
My weight is steady. I know I don't eat right, but at least it's not gaining. Maybe when things get more settled, I'll have time to get back to power walking and now spring is nearly here, I can cut the grass. That's always good exercise. I don't use a tractor. I push. 3/4 acre. That's a lot of pushin' for an old lady.

Hi Nona,
I only get on line once or twice a week now. I'm working 40+ hours at a business that is 37 mi. 1 way from my house. That's not so bad.....but the Miami traffic is. Some eveings it takes me 2 hrs. to drive that 37 miles. I'm also taking 3 college courses at night and that keeps me out three nights a week. I know its a schedule of my own design.......but I'm tired. I know I don't eat right on a regular basis. I still can't eat bread or rice but I pretty much eat anything else. My tastes are still weird. Thankfully I haven't lost any weight since December. I weigh 118. They've discovered I have gall stones but I'm going to wait awhile on surgery.
There's not much (if any at all) differentiation between motherly and grandmotherly love. I'm sure the days are long as you care for your daughter and I know you must be anxious over the news about your grandson. You are in my prayers and if there is anything at all I can do.......just let me know.
I hope we all try to comit to posting on this board more. You are right.....we need each other's encouragement.

Diana is 29. She suffers from SLE and is in a wheel chair. They don't think she'll live till she's 40. Now my grandson, age 8, her son, has growths in his colon. They're going to test him for colon cancer. What next? It just doesn't stop. I have tons of errands for tomorrow. Saturday, I have cleaning and yard work. Sunday, church and then to my daughters to clean. Then back to work on Monday.
MD, I love a glass of wine now and then. And I have a problem with carbs. Love Triscuits and pretzles. Have to keep them out of the house.

I've been more of a lurker on OH than anything...to be honest...just very busy...I work full time, go to grad school and am training for a marathon and trying to maintain my weightloss. I eat more too...but try to make up for it with my running. You NEED to make time for you. How old is your daughter?

I'm glad you're doing so well. When will you be posting an updated pic? We'd love to see how you are now. I've changed again. My hair became so bad, I got a wig. It looks great. Very natural. Even my mom in law likes it and she doesn't like much that I do, like my nails and jewelry, makeup, etc. It's short, like my own, and the same color, even the style I wore before. So I was fortunate to find it. Very reasonable, too.

Life does have a way of streaming past us, doesn't it? I am more active on the California board, so my time on the computer is limited to fewer posts.
I have been hiking and traveling to various functions in California. I will be hosting a camping trip in June and a swim party in August.
No time to be tired...too much to do now that I can. I have lost a total of 185lbs and have been steady at 270 for 4 months now. I want to get to 220....if I don't I will be ok with the loss to date.

It seems like weeks go by and no one is posting anymore. Have we moved on from this site? With our lives? I come here every day, sometimes twice a day, during the week, but no one is ever here. I miss the support and the messages from everyone, LuvItSunny, Lorraine, MD, Kim, all of you.
I'm holding steady at the same weight. I eat so much more, now, that is scares me. It's like I never had any surgery at all. I just work, sleep and take care of my home and my daughter. I don't have time for me anymore. NO exercise, no hobbies, no time to wind down. I am tired. But that's just whining and I shouldn't do that. My girl needs her mom now more than ever. And I have to work. I don't have a choice. So what do I do? When can I find time for me and what I need? Any input from anyone would be a help. Thanks in advance.

Topic: RE: Help!!!
I have a plateau breaker on my profile. Check it out. I am actually doing it right now to lose the last 5 lbs. But everyone says you have to go back to basics. Protein, Water, no snacking (that's the toughie), and exercise. You can do this!
And you are probably still losing inches. When I don't lose the lbs I do notice that my sizes are still shrinking downward. I'm already in an 8 but I think before this is over I will be in a 4-6! That blows my mind. From a 28+ to an 8!
Go for it and get it done! Cheering you on! 
Topic: RE: 6 days post LBL
Hi Kimberly. It sounds like you are doing very well. Congratulations!! You must be feeling much better getting the drains out today. Are you still taking pain meds? My LBL is scheduled for bright and early Monday morning. I am very excited!! Any tips for me? I am trying to get my house and work in order before I take 3-4 weeks off to recuperate. Well, take care of yourself. Rest is the best medicine.
Topic: RE: Help!!!
Thank you so much for the letting me know I am not the only one. I guess I am so thankful that I am 227 over 367 but when I know I should be farther along it stinks. Thanks for the reality check..I made an appt at the nutritionist but I already knew everything she was going to tell me.. I am also trying to take my vits and drink my fluids, I also joined curves..which is a great way to excercise. I will be sure to chat with you more later, thanks for the reply!!
