Hi everyone.  Hope you day was good.  I got good news from the PA today for my second surgery followup.  Off lifting limits and I can try to start taking my pills whole.  Continue with the regular foods.  Official 27# loss in the last 5 weeks.  She encouraged me to start using weights at the gym to build my muscles.  I will still wait 1 week for my official 6 weeks post op before I try the weight machines, and I will start with light weights.   I am headed back to work on the 14th.  Look out world, I am back.

Glad to hear all is well! You are doing excellent! Keep up the good work! Are you looking forward to your return to work? Or are your dreading it? When was the last time you lost an average of 5.4 lbs a week? Wow.. it's great isn't it???!!!???

I feel like it's time to get back to work and usual life.  I don't even feel like I had surgery, no pain at all these days.  I do know that I can eat just a little and I am full.  Good to be feeling 'normal' again, well actually, better than normal.  The knees are not complaining like they were when I was at my heaviest.  How are things going in CO?  Hugs and love, Kathy

All is well. Busy busy again, trying to get everything in order with all that is going on. Preparing for my support group meeting as well. I haven't done squat for exercise since I have been home. I intended to get back at it today, but it did not happen that way. I need a swift kick in the pants to get me back in gear.

Well, I did get the approval to increase my activity.  I think I may get my foot high enough to give you a gentle nudge to exercise.  Miss walking with you.

I just plain miss you altogether! I see a trip to MN in my future! And one to Texas as well, to go see Vick. Just not sure when either will happen yet.
When I was doing my mega walks on the beach, I thought of you, and how fun it would have been to have you there walking with me.

Ya better wind up that kick good, for it to reach me here...lol.
Hugs and love!

You are doing so well, Kathy!  I'm happy for you.  and... I'm right behind you.  It's been a week and two days for me, and so far (knock wood) I'm doing just great.  It really helps to have the outline of what I can and can't have.

I'm sipping on a protein drink (isopure mixed w/apple juice) right now, and looking forward to being "back" as you say it!!!

Good to hear from you Mary.  Keep up the good work, and follow your program.  The do and don't lists do help.  Are you getting in any exercise?  I feel so much better when I get in something everyday.  Hugs, Kathy
