Hi everyone!

Hello to all, Well it's been 18 days since my surgery, I've lost 42lbs. But not without some problems. I found out about dehydration I know how it really feels. I just don't have an appetite. I truly hate the feeling of food in my mouth. Is that strange? Anyone else have that feeling? Up until last Tuesday I was walking a mile a day. On Thursday I couldn't even finish a quarter of a mile. This is a real hard place for me, Iam tired it's hard just to putter around the house. Thanks for listening. Brooke

Hi Brooke, it takes a while till you get to feeling better. Your job for the first month is to stay hydrated. Keep drinking. Try not to push with activity until you start feeling better.Move when you can and take rest breaks. You are still recovering from surgery. Congratulations on your weight loss so far. Keep up the good work. Mona

Mona, Thanks again. I just want to go go go. I hear what you are saying so I can wait until I'am feeling better. When I left the hospital it felt like I was at the starting gates. You have such good advise thank you. Brooke

Hope you get to doin better. Which you will and your appetite will come back before you know it. I'll do you a favor I'll walk a couple of extra miles for you till you feel better. Until later jimmy
