UPDATE

Hi guys!  It has been a while, so I thought I would fill you all in on what's been going on with me.  Things are looking better, particularly in the past week.  I've been able to tolerate a larger variety of food and can even stand the smell of my own cooking, which i also started to do again the past several days.  As I am able to eat more foods, I notice that I am also gaining in strength.  Still embarrassingly weak, but making progress. On Thursday, I took my son to the beach as I was feeling up to the drive.  We had a wonderful time, but when I got home, my muscles were all jelly!  It was no effort to bob in the water, but oh, when I got home!  Felt like I had gone through basic training in one day!  Most of Friday was spent in bed  LOL! My son left yesterday after 3 weeks of taking care of me, thank you God!  I don't know what I would have done without him after that last hospital stay! So I am learning, a step at a time, how to live this lifestyle, and am feeling stronger a little more every day.  One of these days I will have the energy to write in my blog about the entire experience since my last entry.  That last session in the hospital was a lulu! Thanks to you all for your continued support and prayers.  It's really those prayers that helped me so much, y'know! Love you all,

Suzanne,
Thanks for the update, so glad you are starting to get more foods in and also getting a bit stronger!!! love ya girl!!

Darcie

Thanks, Darcie!  Love you too!

Thanks for the update! I know you'll be feeling stronger soon.

Your weight loss is great.

Keep up the great work.

Thanks Barb! You know, it's the funniest thing... while I do weigh myself every day and enjoy seeing the scale go down, it's as though that is all sort of "secondary" to where I am right now.  I have been so much more focussed on staying out of the hospital than on weight loss, that I forget what this was all about in the first place!  I look forward to really feeling thrilled about this weight loss.  I am sure that will come with increased strength. Thanks again,

Suz, you have a wonderful so to take care of you when you needed him.  It sounds like you are getting stronger by the day.  Can't wait to "bob" with you at the beach! nancy

Yes, I have been missing him ever since he left!  Sure hope it is warm enough in a month for us to be able to bob!  Looking forward to seeing you!  Hopefully I won't be such an old poop this time like I was at Mare's! Love ya, Nancy Noodle!

You were NOT a poop!  I enjoyed you and your company very much.  I never did find out where your son lives, I hope it is close so you can visit.  Mine lives 4 hours away and went to find the greener pasture in March.  Needless to say he spent most of the summer with me, but I'm missing him every day since he's gone back.  Kids!  sheesh.  I can give you a nice baby guinea pig if you want............. Nancy

LMAO!!!  Nice try, Honey! My son lives in NY so his visits are all the more special.

Wheek????????
