Topic: Tough weekend... Loss of a family member

It has been a very difficult weekend. Friday night, my husbands cousins husband passed away, and he was so well loved by all of us. The family is taking it really hard. I have been there alot just to help them all along, try to ease some pain, keep the house in order, and keep the food and drinks fresh and served. The funeral plans are unknown so far, but will be soon I am sure.

Had to take my hubby in for a pain block procedure this morning, which required anesthesia, so have been busy looking after him. Have my Grandkids here now, as thier Mom was ready to kill em and NEEDED me to take them right in the middle of all of this.

On the bright side, my brother is coming in on Thursday from Las Vegas to help us with wiring our new garage, and KATHY B and her father are coming Frtiday for a short visit! Busy week, but looking forward to the visitors!

Topic: RE: Hi!!!! Everyone

Welcome to our great lil group! There are some really awesome people here whop will be thrilled to support you as you work to get back to where you want to be.

Have you considered a revisional surgery? Back when you had it, it was done quite differently, and there is a lot more info available now to help with succeeding. Many who had wls that long ago find revisional surgery very helpful.

BUT that said, you can still do it without revisional. Take it a step at a time. Learn all the info they never told you back when you had surgery, and start implementing the basic rules of wls living into your life. I am here to assist as much as I can. If you have questions...fire away! I look forward to sharing this journey with you. YOU CAN DO THIS!!!!!

Topic: RE: weight loss slowing down

WOOOO HOOOOOO lady! You are doing awesome! Take one piece of adivce tho, the longer you stay away from exercise and the basics of wls, the harder it is to get back to it, so don't delay! I let things get away from me while in my first semester at college, and now I am having to work extra hard to be discip[lined,...heck even semi disciplined! But I am improving once again.

You are kicking butyt! good for you!

P.S. I can relate to being the only one to do all the driving...and everything else for that matter. My hubby is totally blind. Not even light perception. Not so fun for us either..Hang in there!

Topic: RE: Iced coffee, totally unrelated

Ohhhh lady! Do I ever! Get yourself a keurig! Brews one cup at a time and they have vanilla iced ocffee and other iced coffee flavors available. Or you can use any flavor coffee you want and modify it. If you get one and need help designing iced coffees let me know

Topic: RE: ** Sigh **

Just remember...40 lbs at a large size down't show nearly as much as 20 lbs at a smaller size. It comes from all over, and our clothing that is becoming too large hides the loss too. A kid would expect you to lose a size a day...lol.

When is the last time..or maybe even the first, that you lost that much in such a short time? You are gonna get there lady! I lost 28 my first month. Was down 51 at 5 months out, took me 2 TWO full years to lose 112 lbs. You are doing great! I stayed in the same size for the first 6 to 8 weeks.. and thought the scale was messing with me when it showed a loss, but then when my clothing sizes started going down, they never stopped for months.

We can be a bit touchy especially early out, but hang in there. You are gonna be lovin it when people begin to look past you because they don't even recognize you!
