I have been in hiding

Well, I have had a really busy summer.  I had my surgery in March and my husband was deployed.   Well he still is.  With having to do everything and visiting family I have not had the chance to really get on here. 

Well the 18th of this month was my 6 month anniversary.  I am 1lb away from my doctors goal.  He wants me to weigh 125.  I would like to loose maybe 5 more than what he suggested.  What do you all think of that?  I am 5'2  not tall so I stil feel like I need to loose a little more.  I dont see my doctor until the first of october for my 6 month check up.  Should I bring this up or will he think I am crazy?

Also for anyone that lives near suffolk I have about 6 things of protien drinks, a small bag of whey protien never opened and a couple boxes of citracal creamy bites that I just can not stand.  I would love these to go to someone that could really use them.

So I keep bouncing around from subject to subject.......  I have a job interview on Monday.  It is only  a part itme job but I am very nervous since I have not had a job since I was 5 monthspregnant with my son almost 7 years ago.  I really hope I get the job and would appreciate some prayers in this aspect.  I need to get away from my kids.  They are going to drive me bonkers:)

Well thanks everyone.

Hi Marion,

I'm about to have surgery up at portsmouth. I live in Virginia Beach, but would be willing to drive to get the protein shakes and creamy bites. Or perhaps you plan on attending the October Support Group at Portmouth Naval next week? I will be there...it's just a week before my surgery.

I'm 5'2" and I can't imagine getting down to 125...AMAZING!!! Congrats to you!! If you look up the chart for our height we could be healthy from 105-135. My Dr.'s goal was 135 for me because they have to take into account for the extra skin and such after the weight loss,  but I say go for it, but don't stress if you don't get there.

Congrats again

Marion,

Congrats on the weightloss!  I think you are doing great.  Your surgeons goal weight is a good suggesstion but if YOU want to go 5 lbs less AND you still look and feel healthy then I say go for it.  Also keep the number in mind if you plan on having any plastics.  You will not lost a lot during that process, but you will lose some. 

Good luck with the job interview.  I will keep you in my prayers.  Please keep us posted!

Prayers for your hubbys safe return home!

Thank you so very much.  I feel great and feel like I could loose another 5 to 10 lbs but no more than that.  Think I might look sick if I went any smaller. 

Than you for the prayers.  Expecially the one for my hubby:)
