Roll Call who's here

Hello everyone How is everyone doing I see not to much is happening here on the board many must be away on vacation....or just relaxing......I hope you are doing fine.....please let me know who is here today and what you are up to...... I went to the foot doctor today he wrapped my foot again so another two weeks before I can wear my own shoes still cant' go to the gym yet either another two weeks for that too....but I did start my 2 mile walks again Tuesday so I have to step it up since I am not losing anymore weight with not moving around.....I am 5 an a half months out I have lost 120 lbs and went from a size 26 to a 14....I am feeling really good about myself....I still want to lose 50 more lbs.... So as a wonderful person who I don't see as often here on the board Miss Diva ( Renee H ) has told me to make small goals for yourself so I have now focused on getting down to 215lbs then I will focus on getting below 200 ( 199 ) I have never been under 200 lbs so small goals I think work better than thinking OMG I have to loss 170 lbs I'll never be able to do that, but taking it in small goals it seems to be happening..... I wish you all the best in your journey....let's see who is here now...come on out and say hello Remember to take your vitamins, sip your water, and exercise....Please sign some surgery pages and make some one smile....have a great day.....

Christine, Hun setting the smaller goals are great, I have to sit down and make some myself. It sure helps when you have so much to lose, feel like you are really moving forward. I get excited when I break into a new set of numbers so this should not be that hard. Well I feel like I am moving so slow right now and not eating all that much, I get about 400-600 calories a day so, all my protein and water so I am not sure. I think I will have my thyroid levels checked to make sure I am taking in my meds that I take every morning. The surgoen said they do it at 3 months post op but I am going to ask my PCP to check it. That is great hun that you are back to walking but just be careful with the foot... Hey I can not wait to be under 200.....yeah, I don't think I was born under 200.. Well take care hun ~hugs~ Debra P 285/244/125(goal)

Hi again Deb Yes the Doctor's check your blood in 3 months after surgery.....don't worry to much about the thyroid right now it looks like you are not getting in enough calories.....and now that you have the treadmill at home and start to use it you will pick up with the weight loss, but also don't worry about the number on the scale sometimes we are lossing inches and not pounds.....and we are all different and we lose differently....so don't worry about it going slowly as long as it is going... I hope you have a great day Christine 346/231/?

Christine, Well I am not sure how many I should be eating now, I did see the surgeon last Thurs and his PA noted my calerie intake and if she thought it was to low I wish she would have said something. I just don't know but I will keep moving forward, I track what I eat at fitday.com, wow what an awesome site, I love it! I will try and get more in then and see what happens. ~Hugs~ Thank you so much hun. Take care Debra P

Hi Christine I am here a bit late, but my hubby had to see his cardiologist today. I have 1 WEEK (7 DAYS) TO SURGERY. Tomorrow I have my pre-admission tests and final consultation with Dr. McKane. I am not nervous, but a bit anxious because I have been at this point before, only to be postponed or cancelled. I have nothing special planned for the weekend. We will just see what it brings. Hope you have a wonderful day and a great weekend. Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers. {{{{{HUGS}}}}} Brenda

each day you are closer and closer to your re-birth.....and I'm so excited for you....Glad you are not nervous and I'm sure this time you will be on the losing side without rescheduling.... I hope you have a great day and week-end too Brenda Christine 346/231/?
