Just a quick update

Hi

I weighed myself today and I am at 378, I did the happy dance because I broke through the 80s, the last time I weighed this was 4 years ago when I was hospitalized with pulmonary hypertension and was close to congestive heart failure.  I am down 58 lbs since I started the optiast and 20 lbs since surgery April 14th.  I am very tired and thnk I need to gert more water in and protein but Im working on getting it all right.  I feel encouraged ......yeah me!

Wow you are doing great!  Thanks for the post.

 Wow, you keep rocking it girl! 


Talk to you soon Stephanie

Hooray for you is right!

Angela the more protein you can get into yourself the better you will feel- it makes a big difference in healing- staying hydrated is a big deal too - you will get into the swing of it - I am hardly ever without a fluid- just second nature now but wow in the beginning I learned the hard way - dehydration is not fun - I was recovering in the heat of July and August so it worked against me big time.

Keep an eye on your iron and b12 levels as they affect your energy bigtime!

You are doing fantastic hon!

congrats

Keep up the good work.  Aim for 20 grams of protein at each meal & eat it first. It's not veggies first any more.

Angela you are doing amazingly well with your weight loss...I can't wait to be on the loosing side soon....still waiting patiently for that call for my pre op assessment and the 2 weeks of the liquid drinks...should be getting a call in the next few months or so....

Keep up the great work my dear...it is awesome...

Way to go Angela!You will continue to feel a bit better everyday! It takes a while. You are doing great! SO glad to see an update from you - bcause enquiring minds WANT to know how you are! Take care!
