Wahoooooo! 9mos1wk post op down 106lbs of butter!

Actually the scales told me this about two weeks ago but wanted to make sure they weren't playing games with me before posting it.  We are at normal bmi also for the first time in many many years.   Going to have a bit of recup time then will get back to the business at hand of losing the last 5-10 lbs.

Wayyyyy to go Anna, that is an amazing loss.  I could learn from you when it comes to dedication to exercise.  You will be back to the exercise when the recovery is complete.  Enjoy the normal bod.  Hugs

Thanks Kathy, gosh didn't think I would ever get there.   I need to learn another big one and that is patience especially right now.   It is driving me nuts to just sit or lay around.  Funny how much difference nine months can make.  Hugs............Anna

AMAZING Anna!!! You are an inspiration! I can't wait until I can post the same thing, even though my road seems long and hard for now.

Thanks Amalia, you will get there too.   Hugs....Anna

anna, congratulations on your wonderful achievement. you are an inspiration.  how are you feeling?  everything going ok?  take it easy for a while. your friend, vick.

Hey Vick, thanks on the congrats.   I am doing ok I guess considering everything.    Actually I am not doing anything much other than what I have to.   I am still in quite a bit of surgical pain which does get better by the day, just gonna take a while.   It is driving me nuts though to be stuck not doing anything other than sitting on my butt and walking.   I became accustomed to my new active life style and now i don't know what to do with myself.      lol.   I guess we will have to get the crochet and needles busy for a bit.   Hope everything is going ok with you and your hubby.   My prayers are with you.   By the way your paintings are beautiful girl.   Hugs............Anna

Congrats Anna. Keep going strong! No lettin up!

Thanks Kevin!  

Hey Kevin thanks for the congrats.   Believe me I would rather be going strong more than doing what I am having to do probably for the next 6-8 weeks for sure.   I had to have emergency abdominal surgery on my colon last tuesday evening and was just released from the hospital monday pm so I am kind of definitely out of commission other than walking for a bit.   My lapband tubing had wrapped itself around my colon which made for a very painful situation but the good thing is we got to the hospital on time and they were able to fix everything without any lasting effects we pray.   So far so good anyway.   It is driving me bonkers right now not being able to do much of anything here at home and definitely not able to go to the gym to work out.   I go back to the surgeon for my post op check up this coming monday pm weather permitting.   We are expecting more white stuff to come visit us sunday evening into monday so we may have to reschedule.
