You exercise fiend!!! Nice going! Are the muscles protesting at all?
How's your energy level? I know you were wiped out a week ago or so -- me too. School is killer!
I hope we get a chance to talk soon!
More hugs back atcha!!!

I can't imagine no one said anything?! How are you feeling about that? Were you sending out the "Please don't ask me" vibe? You and I are both slow loosers, if in fact you still are. I have only lost 28.5 lbs since June 27th plus another 10 lbs preop. However, it is noticeable. I am sure you must look different too!!

How did it go for you? Everything was great for me. Just being silly, I guess. It was so had to sit through an 8 hour faculty meeting. I did show off how I can now cross my legs!!

thank you for that post. I DO get upset at being a slow loser and not losing and weight. I'm also going thru menopause and that's not helping with helping with the weight loss. Thanks for sharing your story with me.

I have no idea what my schedule is for tomorrow morning is -- or should I say today? I am going to be at Anna's beck and call. lol. But I know she has meetings starting at 2pm. So after that should be good.
Look forward to talking to you.

Oh Melissa! Hard times and so sad! So young to die. I am so sorry!
I am sure that the weight will flee when you've had a chance to settle in to your normal routine -- you've definitely had too much stress and disruption.
Yes! Call me!! Seriously. Mean it.
I am going swimming now for an hour then have Anna's GaTech marching band concert at 3pm today.
Should be home around 5 or so.
Need to grade papers, enter email addresses, email the kids and their parents, make a lesson plan, enter grades, do the laundry, etc. -- hopefully tonight -- so I should be home.
Tomorrow, I'm trying to rope the neighbor "boy" (25 years old) to help me get furniture over to Anna's new apartment in the morning. Fingers crossed -- she needs her desk at the very least. A bed, nightstand and a couch would also be nice.
Hang in there, Melissa -- I'll put you in my prayers.
Hugs

Where are you, Melissa? I miss my sleeve mate!
Miss your posts and interacting with you. School must be about to start for you.
You can call my cell is you feel like it: 404-271-6771.
HUGS!

Glad you're back 00 Missed you!

Where are you? Miss you!!!!!

Every night now I make my Nespresso decafinato intenso extra lungo with half and half and a sprinkle of cocoa powder -- totally heaven and my dessert! YUM!
I am sorry that you are in the same boat that I am with weight loss --- guess it'll just suck until it doesn't anymore.
Has your clothing size changed at all? I find that some of my size 22's are falling off and some are just perfect after being unwearable for years.
Saw my daughter up in CT and when she saw me she said "You are so tiny!" -- God Bless the child! When she hugged me she was surprised by the lack of extreme back fat. My brother said that he could tell by my legs -- said "Your legs are looking good" Small victories, a step at a time.
School..... ugh! Teacher work days start next Monday, the 6th. Endless meetings with no salient points. Shoot me now!
Kids come the following Monday, the 13th. Teaching all pre - AP Spanish IV's this semester with 4th block (last one) off. I don't think I have ever had 4th block off before, but it will be great for making it to doctor's appts without missing the kids.
How is the treadmill coming? Do your feet and joints feel comfortable? I wish my feet could handle it -- it would be so convenient.
Anyways -- I am thinking about you and thanking God for a fellow passenger/friend on this journey.
Hugs to you, Melissa!

Awww Melissa!! Thank you for welcoming me home. How lovely of you
Yes, this weight thing is driving me whack. BUT, after 2 - 3 days of no exercise -- just driving and sleeping to re coup -- I did manage to lose about 2 pounds. WooHoo! Biggest drop since 10 days after surgery. Now it will probably go back up and down for awhile -- sigh. This morning I weighed 179.4 -- only 9.4 pounds until I am no longer "obese." I keep hoping.
Soft shells lobsters ran $3.50 per pound, $5.50 for hard shell. $35.00 worth of soft shells yielded a teeny bit over 3 pounds of meat while picked. Not bad at all.
My brother is big into fresh fish and we had a great grilled fresh swordfish steak. But I have been craving lobster for several months and ate it until satiated for the next year or so.
I did indulge in a coule of ice cream cones (full fat) and white bread hot dog rolls (for the lobster and crab rolls) -- ah well -- it was vacay.
Even tried a coffee with Godiva chocolate liquer in it -- it is creamy and wonderful!! A must try for a bit of heaven.

thank you so much, I am doing really good. Better than I thought I would be. I found out today that I have a infection of the stomach that a lot of people have and never know unless they get tested for it. So I am on anitbiotics for 10 days. And the scale is down 5 lbs!!!

Thank you so much! Every thing went pretty text book. I would have been totally lost if it weren't for this site, I knew kind of what to expect. Feeling pretty good so far today, just working on my fluids. Thanks again!

Hey girl...thanks for the post...everything went well...I'm just home healing now.I will keep you all updated on my progress...xo

How are you?
