Just poppin in for a minute..

to say hi! I remember before my surgery I was faithful in reading these posts every day, but now I cant seem to find time to do anything! Well things are still good for me. I had one fainting spell the day after Christmas and my blood pressure dropped. We called Mercy and they said it was either from lack of water or protein. I felt better after a few hours of rest (and bacon). I still struggle getting all my water in each day and have days where I miss my protein shake so I eat a ton of protein (bacon, cottage cheese, cheese). However, all the cheese has made me constipated and talk about being MISERABLE!! I have gone almost a week without having a BM and had to do an enema. OOWWWW Okay enough of the bad stuff, the good news is I'm down 82 lbs since 9/26 and I'm loving it! I'm in a size 14 now (some 16's still). I am keeping busy with my three kids (middle one turns 7 this Saturday) and my boyfriend and his two children and also back in school this semester with three classes. Plus my full time job..who has time to eat??? Well I hope everyone is doing well and keeping up the awesome work! (btw Lisa...let me know how many stairs you make it up for the 801 flight...I'll stay at the bottom and "route" you on!) Janine

JANINE! You look awesome girl! Keep it up! Isn't it simply amazing. Sounds like things are sure looking up for you. You deserve it. I agree with who has time to eat, but I somehow seem to find it. I have not commited to the climb yet, but really leaning towards it, just to push myself.

Janine, You are look great!!! Keep up whatever you are doing as it seems to be working for you. I am happy to hear about you and Todd, sounds like you are keeping busy with all of this. Eat what is that, but somehow I seem to find time to get something in now and then. Glad to see you here and hope to chat with you soon!! Deanne
