Hellooooooo Anyone out there???

Hey Family The board has been very quiet these past few days. Whats going on? Is everyone doing ok? I guess the weather is good and your out enjoying the sunshine?? Check in, let me know how your doing. Hows your weight loss? What did you eat for breakfast? Tell me something. I miss you guys posting all the time. About me.. I feel great and still struggling to eat and get enough protein in. I'm down 56 lbs. from surgery and 118 lbs. total. I said I wasn't going to buy a scale but I'm close to giving in and buying one. I was only weighing myself at Dr. Appointments. I am curious what I weigh now. I have not stepped on a scale in a few weeks. Nothing exciting! Oh yea, I finally made it a mile with my nightly walks. Thats it!! So whats up with you??? Later Kay

Kay, I have been very bad about checking in and with my WL program. So far this month, I've gained 4 pounds. Now mind you my doctor feels this is okay since I lost 20 pounds in 10 days just with all my surgery and infection stuff but I feel like a big pig. I have not be eating correctly and have only been to the gym a few times in the last two weeks. I'm determined to get back on track this week and to try to spark my weight loss again. I'm still hoping to take off the 4 I gained and at least 2 more. in the next two weeks.

Hello Kay and Chip.... I am here.. and been a little slack with posting... I have done well with my walking daily. I walk anywhere from 2 to 4 miles a day now.... took me long enough to get into the exercise routine... something I should have done months ago!!!! I am also doing well with getting in 64 ounces of water a day! But.... I admit to giving in to some of that Easter candy........ it calls my name every time I go into a store...LOL...... Chocolate has always been my downfall....... But, at least now, I consume no where near the amounts I use too!!! Hope everyone continues to do well and has a great week!!!!! Mike

I am around, but not posting much. I have been really busy with school. My classes have been hard this semester. I still have 5 papers to write by May 1st. I also have been getting the house ready for Rhonda's surgery, want her to come home to a clean house. I am doing well with my weight. As of this morning I am down 91 pounds since surgery. I still am not exercising as often as I would like, but I do notice some improvements with walking. Take care Erin

Hi All. I've been jumping around to different boards trying to soak up all the info and inspiration I can (and there is certainly tons of inspiration). I'm in the beginning stages of my journey. Just started 6 months of Dr. supervised dieting. I am attending a WLS seminar next month. My life partner and I both took off from work to spend the day in NY and attend the seminar.

Hi Kay I just wanted to say congrats on your weightloss, I have been struggling to get my protein in too, and fluids. I haven't eaten anthing today but I will be having a shake soon.

Hi Kay and Everybody, I have been really bad about posting and I will try to do better. I am doing well. Don't know how much more I have since I haven't weighed myself since my two month anniversary on 3/24. At that time I had lost 56 lbs., not counting the 20 I lost prior to surgery. I may go to Dr. office and weigh in on Friday. Hope everything is well with everyone. Love ya'll! Hugs, Rosa

Kay Hey chick, I am doing ok. I have been really busy. My grandmother was in the hospital for about three weeks. Sunday before last my mother called and said the family should get to the hospital. My grandmother was bleeding from somewhere, and the doctor was having a hard time getting my grandmother to take blood. But, after we got there and talked with her she went ahead and took blood. She is doing better now and back at home. My work hours have changed once again. I am now working from 630am to 300pm. So, I am trying to get in bed a little earlier. My younger sister was living with us for a while, then she decided to go back home. It was hurtful, but I guess it was best for her. Other than that things are great. I am finally starting to drop weight again. I checked this moring and the scale read 275 that is 111lbs since October and 81lbs since surgery. Hope you are having a good day, Melissa

Hey Melissa Glad to hear from you! I'm really sorry to hear about your Grandmother but happy she is home doing better. Congrats on the weight loss. 81 lbs. is awesome. My weight loss has slowed down but I refuse to stress over it. Take Care kay

Hi Kay Well, can't say it's sunshine keeping me from posting - we're just going into Autumn here and we've had a cold snap. I've just started a new job and now I'm the acting CEO for the next 3 and a bit weeks. I've just had my band tightened because I haven't been losing but I should be back on the right track soon. Judy and I are coming to the US in July - to SF to start with and then to Chicago, Seattle and Las Vegas (Disney for grownups she says). It's been 12 weeks since my father died and I am finding all sorts of weird things are coming up for me - nothing I want to put in writing - I miss him a lot. Jude's up in Sydney tonight - I go to join her tomorrow and we come back to Melbourne on Sunday night. She's got some work there this weekend so it will be fun for me but not for her. I'ts nearly midnight here and I can't sleep - don't know why. And I have to get up early in the morning to get my flight. Oh yeah, and I have a cold. But other than that - things is fine. seeyalater charlotte
