Dr. VISIT FOR 6 MONTHS/1WEEK POST OP

Hi Chrissy, WOW!!!! 24lbs to goal, I just can't imagine. You and I are about the same, I started 8lbs less than you and have the same goal of 130's. You are an inspiration to me. Maybe I will be to that weight at 6 months. You go girl.....glad you got that nasty gallbladder out and are feeling better. That was one surgery that I was thrilled to have, 5 years ago on Valentines Day. Everyone kept asking why on Valentines day plan it the day after, to me it was the best gift I could give myself. I had pain for 4 months and every test came back normal for gallstones and disease, so they didn't know what else to do but take it out and see if that helped. It did and that sucker was diseased and full of stones, the surgeon said just looking at it he could tell, why no scans picked it up we will never know. Go figure!!!! Anyway glad you are doing well, take care, Jodi

Jodi, I noticed you and I were close in pre op weight. I am a lightweight they say. So I was not sure if the weight would come off as fast as it has. I just stick to what works. Little to no sugar I have mostly sugar free stuff. I don't drink soft drinks at all. I do however dink alot of Crystal Lite and Tea w/ Splenda in it. I did not know it was my gall bladder until Dr Lavin went in to remve some scar tissue that was blocking me about 70-75% he told me. He found my gall bladder to be infected too but no gall stones. I know you will lose quick like me. All you have to do is stick to hwat works for you and it will come off for you too. Take care, Chrissy

Hi Chrissy, Lightweight, I never thought I was a lightweight until I started posting on the boards. Do you ever go to the lightweight board? I love it over there, there is alot more activity. I like to buy the little packs that go into the bottles of water, Walmart makes a peach tea that is so good. It is so handy to carry in my purse. My kids like the raspberry flavors, it is kindof like the Crystal light brands. Since I have had my surgery and have been using those, two of my kids have picked up on them and now drink very little coke. My one son only drinks water, he has never liked cokes. If you have not been on the light weight board come visit sometime. Take care, Jodi

Hey girl! Ofcourse I am so proud of you and you look great! Keep up the good work. You'll be to goal in no time, and be the tiniest thing around.

Kelli, Thank you my Angel. You look good too. I hope to be at goal soon too. Take care, Chrissy
