The Sunday Weekly Weigh-in!

Hey Bob, When last you posted, you mentioned a new plan of action cooked up by your wife, a nurse and your pharmacist.  How’s it going? Know that there are tons of folks across the country still holding you in prayer and waiting to celebrate you being completely healed.  Is the doc giving you some time schedules to approximate you being off f the feeding tube? Keep those spirits up and keep your mind on where you will be in 5 more years, not 5 more weeks.  (someone told me that back when I was in the thick of it, and it was most useful to me.) Best Wishes- Dx

Thanks DX, I am looking at April for Fistular surgery.  The surgeon says that when he opens me back up he'll also do a little tummy tuck and side tuck of the loose skin when he closes me back up. I'm already more healthy, even with the problems, than I was 6 mos ago....hee hee Keep the prayers coming, thanks a bunch and I can wait to start eating again. BobM.

I have been very busy this week getting ready for my hernia and pannectomy surgery on Feb 14^th, and didn’t get to the gym much this week and it shows, my weight stayed the same as it was last week. But with the thought that my PS said he will be removing about 18-25 pounds of skin that will be ok with me.

Okay so I weigh in at the Drs office every 2 weeks. I am Pre-Op I weigh on Fridays but will post here on Sunday. As long as thats okay with everyone? Starting weight 11/16/07 - 418 1/18 - 409 this week 02/01 - 403 Down 6 in 2 weeks and 15 since the start. By the way I just started exercising yesterday by walking 30 minutes straight at 3 mph on a treadmill. Then I did the 5 minute cool down at 2.5 mph. Yeah YMCA!  Thats good for me who is in the IT field and sits all day. I will be doing this every other day and will be doing light weight lifting on the others. with one day of rest on Sundays.

I have been a slacker and didn't get my weigh in the last couple weeks. January was pretty slow weight loss for me. I had the ulcer issue and couldn't eat much. I think the body went into starvation mode. Got some meds for the ulcer, been eating well again and hitting the gym again. The scale is finally headed in the right direction again.

Hey Dx, and guys, No loss this week! SW 352 CW 216 TL    136 Lost about 12 inches from my waist, down to 34, and went from 3XL shirt size, down to L. I also lost a hat size, guess I had a fat head, too. I could probably wear smaller shoes, but I just keep wearing 13s.  "I'm ready for warmer weather!" Ronnie
