Down 35 Lbs!

Hi everyone! I am 4 weeks post-op today, and down 35 lbs! My first couple weeks were pretty rough (I felt tired, sore and crappy). During my third week I had to go back to the hospital because I had an upper-GI bleed from 2 stomach ulcerations. They stopped the bleeding and gave me new blood and platelets, and sent me home in 2 days......and now I feel like a million bucks. I am able to eat more proteins, which is helping me regain my energy, and I am chasing the kids around the house, which tells me I must be feeling much better! I was so happy to get on the scale this morning and see my progress. It makes all the blood, sweat and tears well worth it! Hope everyone is doing well on their journey. I'll post again when I have some more weight-loss progress to report! Shell

Shelli, I am so glad to hear from you. I am so sorry about you having to go back in the hospital. I am so glad everything is going better now. You must be over the moon happy about the 35lb weight loss. I told you to be careful chasing those kids!!! TeeHee Girl, I am so pleased with the experience I had in Little Rock. Thank you again for all you shared with me. I was one week post yesterday and have lost 10. I will watch for your posts and you take care!!! Your friend, Brenda in Tx
