Hey Kathy, I hear ya on this snow crap.   I am sooooooo ready for spring.   We got about 6 or 7 inches of snow here in Dayton Ohio where i am snowbound in the hospital bed for the most part.   Of course, as you can imagine there is no strenguous exercises happening for me for quite a while but I kept track of my walking time yesterday and my husband and I walked about a hour and fifteen minutes total and are shooting for the same today.   Yesterday was a really blah depressing day for me, I really wanted to break lose from this place and get home however, that wasn't happening and it isn't today either but today emotionally I am dealing better.   One of my docs came in this morning and gave me a bigggggggggggggg pep talk and told me to straighten up and fly right and that I was doing very well and that I just need to relax and let things happen as they are suppose to and not to try to hurry things.   Of course, he reinforced to me how serious the surgery was that I had just underwent and  how sick I was when I arrived at the hospital.   Soooooooo I am trying very hard to pick myself up and brush this depression off and put a smile on my face and be more positive about my situation and if it takes me another couple of days to get discharged then so be it.   I guess the doc knows best.   Wow!   great news about your weight gain.   What is your docs goal weight for you now as to how much he would like you to weigh?   I hadn't really broadcasted it much kind of because i was afraid of the scales playing games with me if you know what I mean but I have lost 101 lbs from my high weight now, (  that was actually a couple of days before the surgery) so could be more now.   I am shooting for a goal of 150 but we will see what happens.   I am 5'8 1/2 " so I think that would be a good weight for me.   I've had several reactions that it is too thin but like i said we will see and I will have to discuss it more with the doc after this ordeal im sure.   They actually took the whole 1cc of saline that I had in the band out before the surgery so I'm thinking they will atleast put that and maybe 2 back into it.   As of today, it seems I really don't have too much of a appetite though or at least the liquids that they have me on are really filling me up.    Gotta go get some more walking time in.   Hugs.........Anna

anna, my doc wants  me at 140-145 and i am 5'6''.  i look like a scarecrow right about now.  i sure am glad ur docs are keeping a tight rein on you.  it sounds llike it was a really scarey situation.  good luck, lady. vick

Take this one day at a time Anna.  Lots of ((((((hugs))))))

Yup vick, let's keep things hopping for Patrece.
