    Thanks for asking. Yes - I am doing great. Stalls have been short and the scale keeps going down. Still can't do potatoes but that's okay. Exercise has been inconsistent because of my knee. But I never planned on running a 10k. LOL

    How are you? Any food issues? I'm still keeping my diet rather limited.

    How do you keep yourself in a positive state with such limitations on what we can eat. I feel like I have put my body through such an extreme change. It is great to have other people to exchange ideas and thoughts with. I should do weekly or even monthly weigh in because I get discouraged if the scale doesn't change. Is your picture a recent one of you? You are very pretty.

    Better each day. I just found out my Thyroid medication needs to be adjusted. That is the hard part about taking medications and as we lose weight the constant adjustments. Haha I am stuck at 155. How are you going with your journey??

    I'm doing great! Purred and mushed food is going well....except grits which felt like a brick. I even chewed a very small bite of steak tonight and it went down fine. I get worried when I read posts of folks not losing weight. How are you???

    Mind if I ask you a question. How do you put all that additional information under your ticker, such as starting weight, day of surgery weight, 2 weeks post op weight, etc. I've tried, but I can't figure that out. Thanks!

    Thanks for checking on me. Things are going well. I'm down a total of 28-1/2 pounds from highest weight. No pain, no nausea. Almost feel guilty because it has been so easy for me. But I have to admit that I am an over achiever and go by the doctor's instructions like they were law.

    How are you doing? Any issues? Hope things are great.

About Emmers1974
Sleeved or not sleeved:
I have had a gastric sleeve.
Biography:
My weight started to creep up at the age of 16 when I had my thyroid out b/c of a benign tumor but the damage was done and I've been hypo since! At 21 I had an almost fatal car accident-severe brain injury, broken neck & some other things but by the power of prayer, God and my stubborn streak I lived and made a full recovery :) The 2 year recovery period really screwed me up weight wise and I haven't been under 300 lbs in over 12 years. Actually I got to 275 for about 4 months in 2011 but couldn't lose anymore and went right back over 300.

Pre-surgery: Daily swelling of ankles, high BP, mild to moderate sleep apnea, pre-diabetic (sugar ran 122-125), joint pain all over my body

Post-surgery: My skinny ankles are back, no joint pain (I've been off Celebrex since end of April), my sugars are running in the 80s
