BLACK MONDAY WEIGH IN....

HEY NIECEY,      COOL LOSING TWO POUNDS OVER THE HOLIDAYS!! YOU ARE SO CLOSE TO THE ONDERLANDS IT WONT BE LONG.... KEEP KICKING BUTT AND WILL BE THERE IN NO TIME! HUGS MARGE

I had a wonderful Thanksgiving in spite of barely being home from the hospital. DH and I had a PJ day and totally relaxed watching DVD's & napping. He helped me cook a small turkey breast and fixings, not nearly as elaborate as usual but nice anyway. I posted a pic on my profile of my "meal" and I didn't fini**** all, but it tasted sooooooooooo good!  I know me and normally I would have had 2 plates heaping with mashed potatoes and gravy and all the rest!!  So for this year, I did fine on the scale. BEGINNING WEIGHT-284 SURGERY WEIGHT-250 LAST WEEK-258  (IV fluids?) THIS WEEK-236

DANG GIRL!!!         ALL THAT FLUID WAS IN YA TILL YOU MUST HAVE BEEN LIKE A WATER HOSE WITH HOLES LEAKING OUT LOL I KNOW THAT WAS SO EXCITING... WHO HOO.... I KNOW THE HOLIDAYS WERE TOTALLY DIFFERENT HUH? I CAN REMEMBER ALL BUT SWIMMING IN TATERS... AW MEMORIES... HUGS MARGE

Yeppers....I was runnin to the bathroom like crazy! LOL  Mashed pottatoes and home made mac & cheese are my ultimate favorites!!!  I'm a huge popcorn fan but I don't know when or if I will ever be able to have that again   If only this pain would go awayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy! I hate being such a slug on the couch. For the first time in years, I feel like walking, but the pain stops me from going to far. I know......BE PATIENT!  lol  HUGS

I thought just FYI I'd let you know that I don't have any trouble digesting popcorn - we have an air popper and I've had a few helpings since surgery.  Movie night. 

Hiya Marge, Sure sounds like it was fun at your place! I didn't do Thanksgiving, so I'm disappointed in my total loss his week, especially coming off two weeks of having lost 5lbs each week. But I tried some new foods and think I may have learned some things about what my body won't tolerate if I want to lose weight. More on that another time. The great news is today I made it to 100 lbs lost!!!!!! I am rarely proud of myself but this time I am. This was hard to do, really hard, and I am proud I kept going. Even when I had little spittles of set-backs. I can't tell you all how much you get me through them!! So here's where I am: Pre-op: 414 Surgery: 373 Last week: 316 This week: 314 Loss this week: 2 pounds Total Loss: 100 pounds !!!!!

WOOHOOO JULIE You go girl!!!!

Hey!  Right back at you!  Congratulations

HEY GIRL,      WHO HOO!! 100LBS GONE FOREVER.... YOU NEVER FORGET THAT FEELING OF THE FIRST MAJOR 100 GONE...AND ON TOP OF IT LOSING TWO POUNDS DURING A HARD TIME OF TRYING TO EAT RIGHT... CONGRATS GIRL!!!! KEEP KICKING BUTT.... HUGS MARGE

I have family here from CA, and all they wanted to do was eat and vegetate.  I wanted to be active and do things, but I was outvoted.  I was really annoyed watching them stuff their faces nonstop for nearly a week, especially since one of my family members is close to being as fat as I was.  She can barely breathe, she can't walk very far. etc.  You'd think my sad story would be enough incentive to do something about it. Not only that, I managed to catch a cold, so I feel like hot death today. Beginning weight: 530 lbs Surgery weight: 407 lb Last week: 217 lb This week: 217 lb  I have so much congestion I was sure I'd weigh five lbs fatter today, but I didn't.  Back to bed now. Kix
