Miss You All

Wow, I cannot believe I have been out of the loop for so long. Just took a few minutes to catch up on everyone and I miss y'all dearly!  Since we last spoke, I have had my second fill. The first one was great at first, but I eventually didn't feel much of anything after about a week. I am feeling pretty great now, definatley feeling fuller, longer and walking about 3 miles a da4-5 times a week!!!! The protein definatley keeps me from being tired. I am even able to stay up late helping with high school homework and middle school projects. The scales are moving slowly, last week I went down 5lbs! Hope to meet up with the Triangle Group soon.  Take care!

Hi Chareen -

It sounds like you are doing wonderfully! One of the things my surgeon said really sticks with me. "No matter what, you'll lose the wieght with the surgery, it's a matter of how much and whether you are able to keep it off; and statistically it's those who exercise and stay connected to a support group that seem to take off more and keep it off in the long run." I think it sounds like you are doing the things you need to do to make sure that you will be successful in the short and long term.

I hope to see you next Saturday morning.

Take care,

Barb

I miss you too Sweetie! Wow!  Your SECOND fill already!  Seems like it was just last week we were getting psyched up for surgery! Well, I read your blog to get caught up a bit on how you have been doing, but I sure hope we will hear more from you again soon! Love you!

I haven't been able to update my ticker thingy, so I have actually lost about 17 lbs now. Still sloooooow going but going. Missed you so much and SOOOO glad you're doing better.

Sounds like things are going well..  Keep up the good work!!

I am sooooo bummed by looking at your ticker. You've lost so much weight!!!! I have only lost 17 lbs and we had surgery on the same day. ARGGGGH! I knew I shoulda had RNY.  Congratulations girl, keep encouraging me... I need it about right now.

Yeah.. but I am counting pre-wls loss too.  I lost about 25 pounds before surgery.  And hey.. I bet you don't have arm flab like I do yet.  LOL  There is always a bright side Chareen!!!
