7 wk check up!!

Hi guys! Sorry I haven't posted lately, but I have messed up my arm and couldn't type much for awhile. I just wanted to let someone know who would understand! As of last Wed. 2/8/06 I had lost 35 lbs. That is 5 lbs a week for seven weeks and then I started my cycle that night and knew it may be more that by this week and it is. I have now lost 41lbs. WOOO HOOOO!!! THEN on Friday I had to see my GP and they took my blood pressure and it was NORMAL with no medication for a month. AND they could use a normal size cuff - not the large cuff! I think I was just as excited about that as I was the weight, but not quite! I hope you all have a wonderful Valentine's Day!!! Have a great week! Paiger

Great job! Isn't this surgery the greatest!! I know without this tool I wouldn't have a chance. I so wanted to eat a ton this weekend. Not just 5 or 6 bites. So, I just buckled down and did something else since I couldn't just eat and eat. And what do you know I got over it. Corrine

You are doing good!!! And I know what you mean about the blood pressure cup. I am so used to the large one I started looking for it while the nurse was setting up. She said you don't need that one any more. And I didn't!

Hi Paiger...congratulations on your great weight loss...this is the best tool I have ever used, that is for sure. Before my surgery I was on 13 different meds...now I am only taking 2....amazing, huh? I am thrilled. Well, keep up the good work, we deserve it.. Hugs, Betsy
