Heeeeeeeeeey BAF Family!
Just stopping by to say hello! I missed you all 
Hope you all are doing well and pushing forward with your WL journey. I am currently recovering from another non-WL related surgery. Some of you may recall that I had a colon reconstruct surgery in Dec. of last year....well during the testing, a mass was found. I had it removed last month on St. Patty's day. It turned out to be a pre-cancerous tumor and I also had to get my spleen removed, part of my stomach (the unused part) and the tail of my pancreas.
Needless to say, this was pretty major for me. I'm still in a little bit of pain but transitioning away from the percocet. Man....I sure can see how people get hooked on this stuff! My appetite is at zero....nausea is REALLY bad. I have to force myself to eat at least one meal (spread out into two meals) and I drink protein shakes.
I've been off work for a little over a month and hope to go back after next week. I'm bored to death at home! LOL
The WL has been a freakin roller coaster ride! Day of surgery I was at 236. A week later I weighed at the hospital and actually cried real tears at the 273 that popped on the scale
The nurse assured me it was due to all the IV fluids because at that point I wasn't even eating yet. I'm now down to my lowest since WL surgery.....221!
I can't wait to try on clothes to see what size I'm in. I still have drains so I'm waiting till they are removed.
That's about all for my updates....What's going on with you all? Give me a little update on you!
One more thing.....thanks to you all who have called and sent messages of prayer and well wishes. I didn't post about this initially because I was beginning to feel like the doom and gloom poster....always with bad news and in need of prayer. I decided this time I would wait till it was over and I had some good news to post! LOL

Ms Kim! 
You have been missed. I can't help but think of you daily as I type No Mercy and No Excuses, lol.
Nice to know you are recovering well but sorry you've been going through so much. I thought it was all done and just a long recovery period. This was really complex. That's a hell of a way to loose 15 lbs. I'm so glad you're getting better and will be back to normal activities real soon.
Update from me??? Still fighting the battle of the bulge. Scale going no where. Other health issues showing their @$$es. My story never changes but hopefully the next chapter in my saga will read "At Goal".

Good to hear from you! Girl, I have just given in to the fact that this WL journey NEVER ends! It is, and will continue to be on my mind CONSTANTLY! I know your determination will get you to goal...despite those dreaded health issues of yours. Keep fighting the good fight!

Glad to know you are on the mend haven't been here much .Yes another doom and gloom person also. But this is the place for prayer almost better than Church you put in your request and there the prayer's goes up.

Hey Kim, 
Wow. Sorry hear you went through all of that but I'm glad to know that you are on the mend. You may be bored at home but 2 minutes after you return to work you'll be wishing you could curl up lovely with a pill, a blanket, and a pillow. Hell, I ain't even have any more surgeries since my WLS and I can go for that **** right about now.
Your post caught me on a good week where I'm able to post some stuff and not just lurk. Glad to know you're doing well despite everything you went through. Now if you'll excuse me I'm off to go take a look at Cookie's Christian Xes Question for today or I might leave work and go the 24 hour strip club bar.
I can't decide.

W...O.....W!!!!!!!!
So glad things are on the upswing - geez! That's totally amazing. Wonder if WLS allowed that to be seen better and that's why it was pre-cancer instead of the big 'C'.......
Chile, you don't WANNA know what's been up with me - I'll have you laughing enough to need another pill!!!!!
Glad you're doing better lady!!!
