Hi Marge! Good to hear you are recovering well, you skinny thing. 12 pounds! That's great! I am planning a really mellow day - after my crazy hike yesterday I think I deserve a break! I might go see a movie and I do need to study, but that's about it. It will be a nice day. I want to lose 10 more pounds, but I think now that I have hit my initial goal, my mind seems to be in 'maintenance' mode - my daily calories have been much higher than before, more at maintenance level. And I'm ok with that - so much is going on that I think it will be nice to just coast for a while. Plus, I am working on getting my sugar a little more stable - I haven't had any lows since I started eating every 2 hours. But it does add more calories.  I did lose some inches so I am still losing, just slowly. Surgery weight: 371 Last week's weight: 181 This week's weight: 180 Have fun watching the cotton grow 

Hi guys.  I just got back from visiting my family in West Texas.  It was nice to get out of the humidity!  I am doing ok, no pain just very tired.  Its nice to finally be on purees and I am starting to finally have an apetite. Highest weight 445 Consultation weight 440 Surgery weight 402 Current Weight 376 Goal Weight - Under 200

Hi Marge, WOW - 12lbs! I loved the OnQ pump that I had after my RnY.  I can imagine it is really helpful after PS.  Take it easy and keep recovering! I'm going to work on organizing some piles that have been building up at home and doing chores that have been neglected lately. Here are my numbers for the week: Surgery Referral Weight 368 Feb. 8, 2006 Kaiser Options Class Wt.  375  June 14, 2006 Consult Weight: 351 December 7, 2006 Surgery Weight - 344 Jan. 31, 07 Last Week: 233 Today: 229

Glad to see you are feeling well enough to post and be fiesty!!! LOL Just taking it easy today. They opened up a new food store here in Cumberland that is supposed to have a lot of natural products so I am going to combine my walking with a tour of the place. Hugs. Jo

Hey, Marge! Way to go on losing twelve lbs!  Woohoo! I dragged my sister up to Louisville (in Colorado, we pronounce it Lewisville) today to see "No End in Sight," a documentary about the start of the Iraq War and its evolution over the past few years.  It's one of those films that everyone should see, but it will make you feel sad and hopeless.  I finally got my hair cut over the weekend, I was beginning to look like a sheepdog.  My stylist was all complimentary about my weight loss, and when I moaned how things have slowed down, he told me to just be patient.  AARGH!  I am impatient by nature, I want to hit my goal NOW!  Having said that, I had no weight loss this week.  I think my body is still shifting the fat around, because my measurements are quite wonky these days. Beginning weight: 530 lbs Surgery weight: 407 lbs Last week: 222 lbs This week: 222 lbs. Kix

congrats Marge, glad to hear you are doing well.  This weekend has been really busy, we purchased a fixer upper house in our neighborhood, My stepson and his family will be living in it, but it was full of trash. Inside and out so we were hauling and moving crap..3 trips to the dump and there is still a couple more trips to be made. I have found myself snacking more, as I get more nervous about my surgery next monday. No weight loss this week. Beginning weight 473 Surgery weight 417 Last week 182.5 This week 182.5 Have a great week everyone Lynn

Morning, Marge.  I wasn't online yesterday, so am posting today.  I was out of town last week, so don't have my prior Monday's weight, but here's what I do have: Beginning weight - 396 Surgery weight - 386 Last Tuesday (8/28) - 207.5 This Monday (9/3) - 200.8 I've been on my cycle and my weight always fluctuates by 3-7 pounds during that time.  I'm always thankful when Aunt Flow arrives and the retained fluid goes away!   Kellie
