i'm here!

don't know where my last week's post went but I did check-in!  I'm 236#, I think thats a 3# wgt loss, but I've yo-yo-ing for the past 3 wks. Had my meeting with Dr. Ray - everything went smoothly.  I've been struggling with actually being hungry (I know , I know all of you have the opposite problem) but for the past 2 1/2  yrs I've had little appetite due to pain & depression --I just never lost any weight by NOT eating & have been forcing myself to eat the past 6 mos.  I switched to 2 Costco protein drinks/day + a healthy meal BUT now I'm STARVING.  I want to eat everything in sight!  Is it my body rebelling as surgery comes ever closer?

How many calorie are you getting in each day with the two drinks and meal? You might not be taking in enough, or might need to add a little more protein in your meal to help curb the hunger feeling.

But hang in there! We've done so much work to get where we are right now, surgery will be just around the corner.

The mother ship has landed...and Janet from another planet has finally arrived 

yes, i'm here, where is everyone else?  How are you doing??

It seems about 50/50. Half the class stays in touch here, and the other half...well, I'm not sure. They just disappeared. Had my meeting with Dr. ray, and fitness test so far. Waiting for them to call me for lab appointment.

The lady at the fitness test, told me that things are rolling much more quickly than they were about three months ago. 

I have been dieting (i hate that word) some weeks I have success, other weeks I have failure. BUT I hover around the same weight. So I guess that's good. 

How is your weight loss coming along? Any news on appointments?

They called to schedule the fitness test but I missed the call, so calling on Monday to schedule.  I already saw Dr. Ray.  Wgt loss has been good for the past week 5#!!! but I'll probably stay there for 3 wks or so.  I seem to go back & forth but as of Fri I was only 6# away from my goal wgt. 

pre surgery goal weight or REAL goal weight?

pre-surgery goal wgt LOL!

So happy to hear from you.  It is great that your losing but it sucks that you are now feeling so hungry.  There could be something to your body rebelling but it just may be that you feel hope which makes you feel better so your appetite has returned.  I hope it gets better.
