Dr. Tvetenstrand said everything looked great, incisions completely healed.  Can start back to the fitness center next Friday and I'm DOWN 11.5 POUNDS!

Stopped to share the good news with my mom and her co-workers were all shocked by the amount I lost.  They hadn't seen me in a few months, so I'm down quite a bit since they saw me....

Today is a GREAT day!

You'll get there Kelley!  Remember you had open and I had lap... makes a huge difference plus I've always been a fast healer.  I was ready to go back to work 3 days after having my youngest but the doc wouldn't let me! LOL!  So just hang in there and make sure you're completely healed before jumping back in!

Tina thats great!!!!!. I cant believe you are going back to the fitness center in a week. I think Ted had to wait longer than that or maybe he wanted to wait longer......  either way  that's awsome keep up the great work.

Ted had open though so that makes a huge difference... I just have 5 tiny holes and they're already healed over.... I'm sure with open the recovery is MUCH longer and the chance of part of the incision coming open greater...

When is your intake again?

I keep forgetting you were lap and not open.

Next week wednesday 1:00. Ted is coming with me. I figure that day starts the whole process and I get serious about  what I do or do not eat.

you're going to do great!  You've already been through all of it with Ted, and know the ropes already!  I'm so happy for you!

shoot, never got the text :(  Not the first time that's happened.  I texted someone before we went on vacation this year, she replied, I got it AFTER we got home a week later.... stupid tracfone....

I'm really tired today.  Didn't sleep well last night.  My body is already starting to change, and it was hard getting comfortable.  Plus Paul was home taking up his half of the bed so I couldn't stretch out LOL!  Funny how fast I got used to him being on 3rd shift (its only been 3 weeks).
