More pounds gone forever

Hey everyone today has been a most interesting day. First, I got up this morning very stressed about going back to work. Then, I got a call from my pcp doctor's office. I needed to get in his office and have my b-12 shot, depo shot, and also follow up with him. So, I get dressed and out the door I go. I get to my pcp's office and the nurse finally calls my name. She looks at me and says wow you look great. I smiled and said thank you. She asked are you ready to weigh. I looked at her with some hesitation and said yes. I stepped on the scale, and closed my eyes for what seemed to be forever. I finally open them and look at the number. Heck I am down another 8lbs since last week when I seen my surgeon. I got off the scale and pranced into the waiting room. I am very excited, I have lost 31 lbs since surgery, for total of 65lbs since October. Being back at work was not that bad either. I got to see a lot of people I had not seen since taking my leave. I did get very hot and very tired fast, but I am sure that as the days go that will get better. I moved around and got lots of walking done. So all in all I have had a good day. Sorry this was so long, but I just had to share. Melissa

Hi Melissa, Way to go on your loss so far! Do you excersice often? If so, may I ask what your excersice routine is? Thanks and take care, Mary

Mary, I am sure that I do not exercise as much as I should. However, I have done some walking. I either go to the high school a few blocks away or to a friends house and we walk her neighborhood. I would really like to do more, but I just havent yet. When I go back to work full time next week, I will get lots of walking in. Melissa

You go girl, good for you Melissa. Glad you had a good day and tomorrow will be even better. Sherr

Congratulations...that's a wonderful amount. I had my one month follow-up yesterday. I'm down 28lbs. I wasn't happy with only 10lbs in 3 weeks... but it's gone forever. My nutritionist read me the riot act this morning. I will see her tonight at our group support meeting a changed woman. Chauncine

Why did she read you the riot act Chauncine?????

Jan, I drink to quickly. A protein shake should take me 1 hour to drink (frankly, it's 15 minutes top). I guess I'll have to keep a beverage on me at all time to make 8 cups of liquid. (sip sip sip) Also, I don't eat breakfast in the morning. I have to get with the program. We put together a list of foods that I can make quickly (but eat slowly for at least 30 minutes). She told me to keep a diary of what I eat for our next meeting. Chauncine ...I'm no
