Weight Loss

Well my surgery was suppose to be tomorrow, but as I have posted last week that it has been postphoned due to a abnormal EKG. I go tuesday to Jackson to see the heart DR to see what is up with this EKG. I still need all of y'all prayers for everything to go smoothly. And I will be cleared for surgery. I was told by Adam last month when he weighed me in "DON'T GAIN NO MORE" ! I came home and cut out sugar completely and started watching carbs. I still eat.. but I eat alot of protein and drink alot of water, sugar free koolaid and unsweetened tea with sweet-n-low in it. I knew that my clothes were a little bit looser.....so I decided to go by the hosp and weigh this past thursday. I was in shock when I looked down and seen that I had lost 17 pounds in one month. I am so proud of myself. I love all of you WLS Mississippians!! Jo

Jo, I'm sorry to hear that your "new life" date had changed. But hey, it could be a blessing. You never know. I will keep you in my prayers and get several others to be praying for you as well. Know that you are in my thoughts. And others as well. I hope that when you go back to the doctor, everything will be just fine. And you will get the all clear to go ahead . Congrats on the 17 lbs. too. That is WONDERFUL Good luck Sweetie, Tammy

Hi Jo, Glad to see that you're doing well. The postponing of your surgery is only a precaution, you DO want to have all the issues addressed before you go under the knife, and a few weeks more or less won't make that much of a difference. Just like you, I started to cut out the sugars, carbs, concentrate on water and protein and lost some weight before surgery ( 28 lbs in 3 months ). Every pound you lose, is a pound you are ahead of the game! Keep up the good work and keep your faith, it will happen in time, just be patient. We're all here for ya if you need to talk!!
