Good Morning Missouri...

Well here we are at Thursday already. I hope everyones week has been good up to this point. I have been a little frustrated the last week, I am only 3 weeks post-op and I have hit a stall in my weight loss. I have not lost a single pound in the last 6 days wouldent you know I would stall only 1 pound away from being under 500 for the first time in years, Oh well this to shall pass. I also want to let everyone know that we need to be praying for my angel Melissa, she has a Dr appointment on I believe the 19th where hopefully she will find out about her surgery. Melissa has been a prayer warrior and solid support for SO many of us on this board that it is now our turn to be there for her. Remember to pray for her and drop her an encouraging note, we love you Melissa. I hope everyone has a great rest of the week and don't forget to smile. Wayne

Wayne, Get off that scale right now!! Do not make yourself crazy!! This is all said out of concern for you. I know it's hard to stay away, but you will be so pleasantly surprised when you step on the scale and you have lost a bunch. GIve your body a chance, and it will do the right thing. I'm always so glad to see your smiling face on here in the morning. You are so right about Melissa. She is such a positive influence on this board. Okay, now try to relax and enjoy this beautiful day. It's a preview of spring, and I am loving it. Linda P.S. Today is my 6 month post-op appointment with Dr. Scott. Can't wait!!

6 months gone, bet it seems like just yesterday. As for putting the scale away, I can't. Let me explain, I am on Home Health Care untill the end of next week. Everyday I have to weigh and take my vitals on this machine that transmits them to the Dr. So, after next week I will only be weighing periodically. In fact I don't know when I will weigh because I don't have a scale that big and I don't know anyone who does. And don't worry, I am enjoying the day. Thanks for your concern Wayne

Wayne, Dont get discouraged!! I t goes like that. You will stand still and then all of a sudden go again. I have had 2 times that happen already. And then I have a week like this one where I have dropped 6 pounds. Seems like the more I eat, the more I lose. I only weigh every three days or so. I agree on Melissa - Did you read the note about her mother this am. we need to really pray for herfamily and mom too. Colette

Wayne, You are doing so awesome! You look amazing for just having surgery. Your wife, April, is so sweet and lovely. I was just so happy to see you on Monday night at the meeting. You are an inspiration and have so much positive insight that you share. It is going to be an amazing year for you and a fun year for me as I watch you shrink on the outside and grow even more amazing on the inside. Thanks for coming on Monday. I was so happy to see you. I'm glad you're part of our support group. Take care, Cathy
