47.5 gone forever... HOORAY

Every time I have tried to let y'all know this, my system would go down. I have gone from 3x to 1x-2x, pants from 28 to 22, my tennis shoes are too big, and my ring is too lose. My bestfriend gave me my first B12 shot today, I have to have two a month. My white cells are doing so well, that I don't have to see my Oncologist for 3 months. I start physical training 3 times a week to strengthen my legs and stomach, plus Occupational therapy on my right arm from the nerve surgery I had last week in my right elbow. it's pretty unstable, even putting on deorderant makes my elbow throb. I have a lot of numb areas, and this is my dominent hand. My hand stays tingling numb and I drop things a lot. I am banking on the therapy will help and I won't have to go thru anymore nerve surgeries. It's just way too painful, worse then have the RNY. Well, this body is off to bed, I get the results of my heart tests back tomorrow from the low potassium. Pray all is ok. I love y'all, Kathy

Way to go Kathy!!!! Good to know that things are turning for the better. We'll be praying for a good report tomorrow also. The tough will survive!! Ron

thanks Ron. You keep fighting too. Love Kathy

Kathy, Congrats on the 47.5 lbs. You are a true inspiration to all of us on the Tennesse board. Hugs, Lori

Hi Lori, I was just thinking about you today and wondering how you and Greg were doing. How much have you lost so far. It's been almost 6 months for you. Thank you so very much, but my inspiration came from everyone on this board, praying, urging, and giving me the strength to go on when I was ready to give up when I found out I had leukemia. This board is my strenth and inspiration. Love you and Greg, Kathy

way to go girl!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (((((DOING THE HAPPY DANCE FOR YOU!))))))))))))))))

KAthy that is so awsome !!! Don't you just love the great feeling and the new way you are looking ?? . You are doing soooo well . Laura

Thanks Laura, and if I never lose another pound, I would be content, not as happy, but content. I love it, the hugs from my nurses, Dr.'s, family, especially from my family who were totally against it and now are so proud for me. I even enjoy wearing my dentures now that they fit my face better. I've even registered for online dating. Talk about being brave. I want everyone to experise this fantastic tool. God has been good to me considering all the health problems I have had to deal with lately. I give him all my thanks and glory. Love Kathy

Thanks Maria. I will let you do the happy dance, I'm still wobbly on my legs after being in a wheelchair for so long. But I will catch up with you on the last dance. Love Kathy

that is so wonderful Kathy!
