Back Online!

Hi Everyone!!! I have missed all of you As some of you know, I moved.. and well... they finally got my home phone hooked up this week, so now I can have my internet back! Yay! There was some kind of wiring problem due to a fire next door several months ago. Needless to say, I've gone thru internet withdrawls! Just a quick update on me... I had my four week checkup this week and lost 32lbs so far. I am doing very, very well I think. I seem to tolerate just about everything so far.. so I have no real complaints. I did however, make the mistake of eating rice last week and vomited for the first time. Oh well, trial and error is the name of the game I've missed all of you and look forward to being online more!!! Goodnight and God Bless, have a great weekend! Mwauhhhhh Kimanne -32lbs since Oct 12th

Welcome back. And, good job on the weight loss. I think it is an understatement to say you were missed. Hat

Thanks Hat! I missed everyone so much too! I love this place!

Hey surgery twin nice to see you back!! I have lost 32 lb also!!! I'm have trouble geting enough protein and water down each day .I have serveal times from eating to fast or to much food . . I went back to work last week and it was a very long long week but I'm getting stronger each day and should be back to normal next week some time .I'm drywalling one of the bedrooms and hanging xmas lites this weekend, all of a sudden my engery level has gone through the roof !! Well take care and have a nice week end, HUGS -32lbs since 10-12-04

Dannnnnnnnn!!! Congrats on your weightloss! I am having a bit of the same problem. I seem to get enough fluids down... but my protein is about 15-20 grams too low. My nutrionist gave me a big bottle of liquid protein It tastes like a really bad Cherry Nyquil taste *ICK* I tried to mix it with a few things and I just can't camoflouge that yucky, mediciney taste. I'm glad your energy level is picking up, thats one of the benefits of getting enough protein! I guess I'll have to keep trying those protein drinks for now *lol* Well dear, I'm SOOO glad you're doing well, seems we are both doing tremendously! Yay for us! Have a super weekend and congratsssss again my surgery twin! Kimanne

Dear Kimanne, We're so glad you're back. I was quite saddened when Terry told me you ended up with no help for your move -- that was the pits. Anyway, sounds like you survived, and are doing VERY WELL with your post-op program. Regarding the protein, all the protein stuff I purchased pre-op is sweet, and I don't want it. Last Saturday I asked my husband to go and get me some "plain" protein. GNC has a few different varieties, and the one he purchased has 17 grams of protein per scoop. I've been adding it to my soup or broth, and that works out for me. Just a suggestion. Again, welcome back to us! Take care girl, Susan

is the name of it resource?? i had some nasty stuff in the hospital, and man i would love to have it right now lol i can easily do shots of it now rather that the stuff ive literally had to choke down.......

Kimanne, I'm so glad to see you back online. I must have missed the post saying you would be gone for awhile. I have missed you. I did post you a note looking for you. Congrats on you weightloss. 6 more days and I'll join you on the loosing side. Arlene

Thanks Arlene I missed you too! Whooo hooo!!! Six more days! WOW!!! I remember when I was so close, time seemed to draggggggg by... but it will go quicker then you think! Have you gotten everything ready for your big day? Keep in touch and you'll be in my prayers! (((HUGS))) Kimanne

Hi Kimanne! Yes, you were missed! It is great to see your cheerfulness back online. Most of us have shrunk during that time, huh? I just passed the 5-week mark and I have lost 35 pounds. I had a slump last week and stayed around a 30-pound loss for several days. At first I was really bothered by it, but I just kept at it. I have been able to tolerate everything, as well, except I truly hate protein shakes. I have not been able to even smell one for a while. I am trying to put non-fat dry milk powder in everything, because it adds protein. I am trying to talk myself into have an actual protein shake today. We'll see. Welcome back, and have fun setting up your new place! -Chris
