Topic: Its been a long time!
Well, its been a years since my last post. Life gets crazy after surgery! The biggest reason I am back again is, my cousin is starting her journey! I want to suport her! I figure the best way is to start here! Well I updated my pics on my site! As you can see from my weight tracker I am still 20 lbs or so from a normal BMI. I feel great! No problems. I have been through meny stalls, never gained any weight back . Plus I keep losing at a snall pace!

Topic: Exercise
We all know how important  exercise is and following the rules.   And the exercise  end has been a little slow  this summer for me.  been  traveling and then had surgery.  But we did do a little walking last week and this morning  we walked for an hour.   Boy did my legs know it.

I got a  note back from my surgeon who now is in Ohio  and he said the defination of succes for  wls is not in the first two years.  it is in the  four or five year and beyond  not gaining  wait and maintaining.   We all know that  bad habits can creep back in and following the rules  gets put to the wayside.  But for most of Us we need to pat ourselves on the back for a job well done.  I dont think we always  reward ourselves *( and no with food) for  maintaining and following the rules.

I hope everyone has had a great summer as it winds. down.  Take care and keep in touch.!!!

I will be doing the koman walk for the cure if anyone is interested in walking with me let me know.

Topic: Panniculectomy
Hi  all   I got my drains out on  Thursday and I am glad they are gone.  I am still swollen a little bit and have to wear the binder full time for another week then i can put on a spanx for short periods of time.  

I see surgeon in  three weeks. 

The pain was not as bad as i thought  it would be but the recliner was my friend for a while

I just got back into my bed after drains were taken out and  i was gtad to be there.

This is crazy i can see my feet!!!

Topic: RE: 2 week liquid diet
try emailing your dietitian  and ask what else to  do you could try some juice cut  50 50and see if that helps   but beware if too much juice  it can be3 hi in calories and has not much good in it   i do like tomato juice that  does have fiber in it
