Good Morning

Thank you Terri How are you doing today I hope your spirits are up....have you called your doc about the protein and what did he say..... are you still on the liquid diet or have you moved up.... Terri just know that if there is anything I can do to help please let me know Christine

Hi Christine WOW!!! That is awesome that you've lost that much already........ You're obviously doing something right babe... I had lost 57lbs as of last week so you're doing fabulous... I am a little over 10 weeks out now... But am feeling fabulous... Sooooo just wanted to congratulate you! Don't feel bad because everyone loses at different rates... I'd be tooting my horn for sure if I'd lost that much in 1 months time... That's great!! You go GIRL!!! (((HUGS))) Chelle

Hi Chelle I am doing everything the doctor told me to do....and sticking with it..... I do wish I could walk a little more than what I do but I haven't found the time to ssquezze it in.... It's nice to see you I haven't seen you around much, is everything ok with you.... Christine:fiary:

Yah things are ok here for the most part... I'm taking a full course load this semester, working and been helping my fiance take care of his ailing mom... It's been soooo nuts lately that I've not gotten online as much as I'd like to... But I do stop by and read the posts when I get a min to myself to do so... Then last week we finally joined the Y and on my way walking back to the car I took a step forward and twisted my right ankle... I have a bad sprain right now so I've been doctoring that on top of everything else... But I didn't let that stop me from going there to work out cuz I can still do the upper body stuff... Well I'd better get moving now... You take care and keep up the great work! I'll try and peek in more often from now on... (((HUGS))) Chelle

Chelle it sounds like you have a real plate full....please remember to do something special for yourself......and I'm glad you can still do your upper body work outs.... Please remember that we involve our self in others and forget to take care of ourself and you really need to put you first...... You are doing a great job in your journey keep up the good work....and I'm glad to hear you will be around more often Christine

Chelle, You too are doing awesome. Terri

Christine

Hi Christine. I've been waiting to see an update from you and what a good one! 61 pounds WooooooHoooooo! Sounds like you're doing it right, even if you're not walking as much as you think you should! I want you to know that those of us who are still pre-op (last test done last week, packet goes to insurance company this week) really needed to see your post. YOU should NOT feel bad, you're one of the most supportive people I've ever seen! I'm so glad that you're feeling good and using your new tool the way it's meant to be used. I read Dr. Simpson's book and he recommends using a baby spoon and fork when you first go back on solid food. Think small when you take those bites. Congratulations on your success and keep up the good work. ~Cheryl~
