52 pounds

Howdy all, Thanks for all the well wishes. Had my dr appt the other day (dec 26th) and a total of 52 pounds gone! WOW!  I was so socked.   Surgery was a little harsh on my body....smoking is such a bad thing to do. After coming home the 2nd time now from the hospital...I got sick on the 14th when I was released and my wound opened up and I had to be rushed back to brunswick for emergency surgery to reclose...., I'm doing great now. Dr kent said I can finally eat solids. I'm still really scared at times to eat because I feel bad afterwards, but I'm learning. not too worry. I do find it is hard to get all my protein and water in...but I am trying very hard to get them in. Since lossing all this weight, i have noticed that my taste in different foods have changed. Like for example... used to love bananas..hate them now, loved berry flavor...hate now...and I keep terrible taste in my mouth now. But Dr.kent explained that it was from the keytons from the fat i'm lossing. Oh well, I know everything will be fine. I love you all and thank you so much for letting me vent and type. I hope to see those of you at the support meeting in Brunswick in Jan. I just hope Gene is off work then so he can come with me. Later. Roxanna 

You are doing great!! Congrats!!!

I cant wait to see you Roxanna! Hope Gene is off to so he can make it but if not then you just come on over. He is right about the keytones...but it is a good thing..means you are losing! Hang in there and let me know what the doctor says tomorrow. Phyllis
