Weigh in yesterday This weeks...

Hello Everyone ! I had my weigh in yesterday and I have lost 4 more pounds ! This makes it a total of 24 lbs in 4 weeks . I have 9 more to go ! I could have done better but to be honest I cheated a little again ! Jumped right back on track right after though ! It is pretty much when I stress that I cheat so I really need to work on that a little bit harder ! I also have some more news which isn't all that great really ! I have to go and see a Hemotologist b/c my blood clotting factor is still prolonged ! This scares me somewhat as I don't want to bleed and bleed and bleed during surgery ! Ya know ? I just hope that they can correct this ! I was on Vitamin K for three weeks a while back and I guess that did not help so next step is the Hemo. doc . I have an appt. on the 8th of March ! Wish me luck !!!!!!! I have also placed some new pics up on my profile of my family ! It took me forever to get these right and still some are not the way I wanted them but they serve the purpose ! I will be posting some of me as soon as I get a little time to do it . Anyhow, I hope everyone is doing well and staying healthy ! Take care, and , Carol

Carol, Mckanzie is the cutest thing. I want to eat her b/c she is just too much! Hee-Hee! Good to hear some weight is coming off of you. It shows you are pretty determined to get this done, which is very good. I had to see a Hemotologist before my inital surgery as well but for another reason. My WBC was a little high and no one could figure out why. The surgeons would not operate on me. My PCP and the Hemotologist kept on telling the surgeons that they have cleared me but the surgeons kept on saying "no, no and no". This went on for over a month. Then my count went down, didnt go back up and that was it. I had black and blues all over me b/c I had blood drawn from me like every other day. I guess it was practice for what was to come. Its annoying to have to jump through more hoops but it is for you own benefit, which I am sure you know. Let me know how it goes with the Hemotologist and good luck!!! Tavia

Hey All ! I want to thank all of you for the encouragment ! You are all just to good to me ! I would not be able to do this without you ! Thank you so much !!!! and , Carol

Hi Carol, Congrats on the weight loss.Way to go!!!!!!!!!!!! You have a beautiful family. That baby is just so cute. I just want to kiss her.How did you get the frames on your pictures? I have always wanted to do that. I have been loosing my weight post op very slowly. I never thought it would be this hard. I have only lost 14 pounds since surgery. It gets a little frustrating but I will get through it.Keep up the good work with your weight loss! ~~hugs and well wishes~~ Chris
