Hi Everyone!

I just wanted to let you all know that the past two weeks I have felt alot more Happy!   Which is a great thing for me considering my first month I was definitely having some regrets and depression.  I am back to the gym and loving it - sore as hell though.  I am down a total of 55 pounds - 20 pre op and 35 post op.  I am down from a size 22 into my size 18 this week.  So all good.  

That isnt to say I havent had a few puking sessions recently - my first was at week 6, then once last week and once this week.  I do have some issues with veggies that are not cooked well.  And sometimes there is no rhyme or reason for the grouchy pouch.  But overall I am doing well.  I appreciate all of you *****ally helped me through the tough beginning weeks - Yvonne especially! hug.

Thats my update!!

Hi Diana!!

Happy to hear that you are feeling better.  And boo on the puking.  That's not fun.  I have not had any trouble with that - amazingly.  I have made myself throw up a time or two when something was stuck - but that's it.

Wow, good for you going to gym.  I have to confess, I have yet to start exercising.  Shame on me.  But I am gearing up to start walking - where my DH works - they have a GREAT walking/jogging path that's 1/2 a mile each time around and it surrounds a gorgeous lake and woodsy area.  I drive him to work so when I drop him off I will go park and walk.

Keep up the good work!!!!!!!  Congrats on the loss!
Suzy

I have been working out forever - so for me it is just getting back into the routine.  I find I love listening to good music and the feeling exercise gives me.    Although I do have post it notes around that say - "you are an exerciser"  "I love to work out"  "sweating is fun"!  - Helps with the mental part of just doing it!!  :)

The inches falling off of me are crazy - the weight loss is slow maybe 1-2 a week.  But my pants are dropping off!
