Thinking of Cinderella83 (Yvonne)

Yvonne, I just wanted you to know I am thinking of you. Hoping your surgery went well, and that you are on your way to a happier, healthier you.

Yvonne,
I just wanted to you to know that I have been thinking about you, you are now officially on your way!!! Hope to hear from you soon!!

Yes Yvonne! I was thinking of you as well.  How are you feeling?

Sheli, How are you doing?? I hope that your surgery went without complication. It must have if you are posting!  

Kathi-
Surgery was quick and so was recovery. I went back to work yesterday.. I am HUNGRY though. The only bad part of having the band over the RNY is the hunger right now. I am glad I recovered quick but wish i wasn't starving!!!
Thanks so much for asking!
Sheli

Sheli, Oh bummer! I didn't know that about Lap Band!  I am glad I am not hungry. I have to remind myself to eat. Which is just mind blowing to me!!

Thanks for thinking of me and for all the prayers and encouragement!  You gals are terrific!   Sheli, where's your ticker tape?  I love seeing everyone's stats on the tickers.  Good Luck on your Labor Day Challenge!  How much further do you have to go now?   Blessings, Yvonne

Any time Yvonne!  That is what we are here for!

Yvonne, I am glad you're back and feeling a bit better. I have been thinking of you for days. Sorry you're having a rough time with the food. I went thorough a fre STARVING days but I feel a lot better now.
I am down 10lbs since my final pre-op visit. 8 of it in the last 8 days.
I was at 217.5 this morning...2.5lbs from my labor day goal...might have to make the goal 210.
When I started this journey I was 247, and thought that with Aug-Oct as my possible dates I would never see below 200..or not this year. The pre-op loss and the 10 lbs since leave me feeling like i could easily be below by X-mas.
What an amazing feeling.
I can't wait to see your weight just melt off...I am so glad you are back. Hoping to meet you one day.

Wow, Sheli, your doing great!  Weigh To Go!  It seems we run pretty close in our weight, so it'll be fun to see how fast we each get to where we're going.  I weighed in this morning at 214.6.  Since surgery on the 3rd, I've lost 8.8#, so I guess I'm averaging about one pound a day loss.  It doesn't seem like alot, but if I look at where I've been, it's amazing! LOL  I would love to be under 200 by Labor Day.  I don't feel like I really have any control over the rate of loss right now because I can't exercise or dictate what I can eat or drink, so I'll just have to hope that God sees to bless me with a weight loss that will get me there. Will you set a Halloween goal next?  You'll certainly pass your Labor Day goal way ahead of time!   As for my stuggle with food & liquids....I'm still struggling, but the Bariatric Center is working with me to see what we can do.  I just take it a day at a time and do what I can.   I'm planning to be at the Nutrition & Exercise class next Tuesday at the Bariatric Center (4:30-5:30).  Are you planning to take that class?  If so, maybe we'll be able to meet eachother there!   Thanks again for all your encouragement!   Blessings, Yvonne
