Hello All

Hello my OH family ~hugs~ Just checking in to see what is going on...... I hope you all are doing ok, wishing all that is having/had surgery all the best! Post back and let me know how you all are doing..... I am having in there, going on interviews and trying to keep myself busy. Staying home is NOT my thing. I get so bored and there is only so much cleaning I can do or WANT to do for that matter!  My weight is staying the same right now, I cut back on doing the South Beach since I was getting so sick of just veggies.....eeewwwwww, I sure missed my fruit so I have gone onto the Phase 2 now and just trying to keep mt carbs low. Breads, if I have them, are whole grains! Well I just wanted to check in to see how you all are doing.......

Hey Miss Debra.  Everything is moving along well around here.  i'm now 9 days post op and feeling more normal.  I'm happy to see the pounds dropping and feeling better and better.

I am getting bored as well.  I can start driving again on Monday, so that should help things out a bit.  If I feel up to it on Monday, after my follow up with the surgeon I might meet a friend at IHOP for a cup of coffee (she is a fellow WLSer and she owns this particular IHOP). If you need a different house to clean, I am willing to lend you mine :-)

Wow, Raechel! I can't believe it's been 9 days already! Good for you and wonderful to hear you're doing so well! Hi Debra! Allis well here. Not liking the transition to solids much, just not sitting well. I've only hurled once though, so that's good. I just wish I know how to burp intentionally, would make things a lot easier. Glad to hear you're maintaining so well! Hopesomething pops up for you soon on the job front! hugs, Laurie

WOOWOO Rachelle!!!!!  Congrats on how well you're doing, sweetie!  I'm so dog gone happy to see that smiling face!  Not to say I didn't love your other avatar...but you look awesomeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!

Muah!

Hi sweetie, come clean my house!  LOL  I'm the only one in my family without a maid! 

I'm still pumping in the protein, some fruits and veggies when room.  I did have a 1/2 slice of Italian Bread in NYC when I was there last Friday with the teens I work with.  Decided I don't miss it.  I was never much for bread anyway.  I wanted pasta...but continue to be good about not doing that!

Hopefully, by next Tuesday I'll hit -60!  After my son goes back to college on the 24th, I will get back to CURVES.  I've only been once since they approved me after surgery.  Summer seems so busy, I never get there!

WOOWOO outta work for me until 8/27!  Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Hey Lovey,
Did you have any luck at all with SB Diet r/t weight loss? Have you touched base with your nutritionist to see if there are any imbalances that could be responsible for holding on to weight? Keep workin' it honey. Eventually it goes down!!

I have my TT on Tuesday. I'm also getting an ovary removed (ewww!) because of a benign tumor that has been causing me a lot of grief. It should be a painful week, but after that, start getting a lot better...

Hugs to you,
Amy
