Just an update!!!

I did my wt in today and Im down to 338....which is a bmi of 48.5. I was down in the dumps all weekend. So this was a good way to start the week. I will be going back to work next Monday so I hope that will start improving my mood. I did really well while I was in Ohio with my parents. I had plenty to see and do. Now that Im back here. Im all alone and I dont do well alone. Thank God Andy will be home on Wed. Wed my diet changes too becouse I will be 4 weeks out. I guess I need to get my book out today and see what Im supposed to do next. Mariah

Hi Mariah~ I remember the 3-4 week mark, I was really down in the dumps too. Your life has changed so drastically in the past month, its a lot to take in all at once. Your probably just now started to feel more like yourself again, etc. Keep your chin up and try to enjoy a bit of your "vacation" until its time to go back to work! Jaimee

Thanks Jaimee, Its good to know Im not the only one!!! Today I got a call from my mom and she wanted to know if I would like some company....boy would I ...I said. So my mom and my aunt drove over and spent 3 hrs with me. It was so nice. I dont get company often. Since its so far for them to drive. My mom even took all my dirty laundry with her and said I could just drive over tomorrow and pick it up...that would get me out of the house again tomorrow....plus my laundry will all be done for the week. God I have such a great MOM!!! I have alot of 32-28's & 3x's I can bring to the clothing exchange too. Hopefully I will be in a 24 by then. Mariah

Hi Mariah! Can you believe that it has been almost 4 weeks for us??? I am anxious for our next change beyond the full liquids...should be interesting! I also weighed this morning and am down 30 pounds. I am at 300 now so I can't wait to get into the 200's!!! Take care! Jan

Jan, It is amazing. How have you been doing? Did u do all liquids for 4 weeks and not go insane one day? I am glad I can finally eat but then Im scared too. Ive enjoyed this wt loss. I too am looking forward to being below 300 but I wont be there anytime soon. Looks like u will be there way before me. ] Mariah

Way to go Mariah.. That has to feel really good to be down so much so far!!! I'm sure once you get back to work, you'll feel better!!!! Keep going!! Let me know if you ever need to talk!!

Thanks Heather, It does feel good to just get out of the house. I went mall walking yesterday and today Im down another 3 lbs. I guess instead of getting down I need to just get out of the house even if its by myself ...becouse I get so much better results than just being all down in the dumps. Question for all u Ladies??? I started im TOM right after surgery which was expected and it lasted for 2 weeks. Now its only been a week since it ended and I was to have a PAP today and I started again. So I had to cancel my appt and reschedule for the 21st. Did any of u have all these changes in your cycle after surgery. I hadsnt had a TOM since last Nov and now Im making up for lost time....LOL Mariah (394/335/160.... 59#down since July 12th)

Keep up the good work. I had my surgary July 6th and I have lost 10lbs. I lost 35 before surary. I am trying to be good, my Dr. saids protein, protein, protein because I was not doing enough in the two weeks after surary. I to had to go out of state to have mine. I went to Michigan and stayed with my mom. I was so glad to finally get home. Know I have a lot of work to do to get the apartment back in order. My boyfriend does a good job just not they way I do things. I will be going to the Support group meeting in Columus at the City Hall building Thursday. This will be my first support group meeting sence I got back to Indiana. I went to a few in Michigan. Hope you are doing well! I have been a bit grumpy latley. I am not sure why. Maybe it is just that my body is going through so many changes that my head is reblelling a bit. Good Luck! Take Care, God Bless! Love, Snugglebunny P.S. maybe I will see you at the clothing exchange?

Hi Mariah - - You have done extremely well. I'm so very proud of you. Lonliness gets boring for us - I have been home all week alone, but yesterday Dr. approved me to drive & I can go to work on Monday. I'm 10 days out & 13 lbs lighter. Feeling good. Keep up the great work & hang in there. Kristi

Kristi Sounds like u are doing great too!!! Congrats!!! Mariah
