Still plugging along

I am still plugging along after the sclero procedure.  Today I weighed in at 174.   The weight loss is slowing down a bit, but that is to be expected. I progressed to more solid food yesterday.  I am still walking as much as possible.  My daughter and I walk a 2 mile route around our neighborhood.  Most days we do it 3 times.    Seems to work!  ginny

Ginny, Thanks for reporting in.  I will be interested in following your story.  I have gained 20 lbs from my lowest and struggle to keep from gaining more.  I am thinking about sclero procedure.  Good luck and please keep us posted.

Hi Ruby,
It looks like you and I have a similiar weight history.  I started at 264 ...my lowest was 135 .   I just want to get back to 140 if possible.  ginny

Really I would like to get back to 125.  I am only 5'1"  I am dieting and exercising, but the 20 pounds just will not go away.  I am to see my surgeon in September, but he was not  concerned about my weight gain when I saw him in March.  I have to work like crazy or my weight slips up more.

Good luck.   I am pulling for you.

Keep working at it and don't give up.  I stopped paying attention and began neglecting myself in favor of all the other things I had to do.   Lesson learned:  Self-neglect does no one any good...including the people around you.  If I haven't added you to my friends list on OH....I will take care of that now.   We can support one another!    ginny

Thanks for the advice.  I know you are right and I do a pretty good job of taking care of myself.  I sometimes wonder what I would be doing if I were not dieting, exercising or taking care of  have of me. 

I have spent the better part of my life doing this stuff or trying to.  I hate to think about all the time and money I have spent on my weight situation.  I sometimes meet people in the mail and think, "which diet club did we attend together?"  I guess I could have been worse places, but I wonder if there is not more to life.  Really I am not depressed about all this.  I am thankful I have had the chance to work on myself.   I have been blessed.  

I did not mean to get on a soapbox.  Take care of YOU.
Ruby
   

Hi Ginny,

I'm glad to see you're still hanging in there.  Slow and steady will win the race.

Thanks Genie!   I didn't put the weight back on overnight....it won't come off overnight either.   Pound by pound, step by step.  

Thanks for the update! I am happy the procedure is working for you, please continue to keep up posted.
