Hey Susie! Long time no chat! How are you? I REALLY hope you come to the monthly meeting one of these days. There is actually one tomorrow night! You should go...they are SO helpful!

I am doing wonderful, thank you so much for asking. I like the drastic idea...I am wanting to do something crazy too, but not until I get to my goal weight. I love the dark hair on you with your complexion. Good thing is you can always get some blonde highlights put back in if you want. I cannot "weight" to hear how great you did on Friday after your appointment. Wait until your bra's and knickers starting getting looser, that's a hoot. Hope I used your British words correctly. I am going to try and upload a photo for my Avatar, I am so bad about those things. Anyways, I'll look forward to hearing from you soon about your progress.

Thanks Suzie, I just fancied doing something drastic! still getting used to being dark not blond!

Everything is going well, still no complications, still not been weighed yet my appt was cancelled till Friday. But I can feel a small difference in my work trousers.

Hope you are doing well

Hi Anissa:
Your daughter is in high school, right? I bet you had a fun homecomign weekend then. I know...sometimes it feels like I am "bragging" but I am constantly amazed at how well things are going and how, dare I say "easy" it has been to transition into the different stages or phases. I feel so blessed NOT to have the complications or minor irritants that so many other folks have. I will look forward to seeing you then, at the November support group meeting.
Take Care,
Susie

Good Afternoon Susie! I did not realize my daughter's homecoming festivities were the same weekend as the walk so I did not end up going. Which was probably a blessing in disguise as I am just getting over a cold I go to see Dr. Peterson on November 9th. I often think the same thing as you with respect to the surgery because things seem so comfortable compared to some of the stories I read on here...haha I will be at the next support group meeting..I would love to meet you too! So let's make it a date!

Hi Susie! Just stopping by to say hello Hope all is well!

Hi Fran! I am so glad you are doing well. You will be fine in another week or so, I guarantee it. I agree with you about the scale...I too am weighing in at my doctors office, and only really count that scale as "accurate". Enjoy this time you have at home and listen to your body, and get lot's of rest if you can. I am so happy for you and keep in touch.

Hi Suzie, I'm doing well aches getting less daily. I'm struggling getting through my liquids, but I will keep trying. Hope you are getting along ok too x I'm nearly on day 4 ! 1/2 way through my 1st week! Yay.

I don't own any scales at home & think I will wait till after Xmas to buy some. I can get weighed at my follow up appointments. I don't want to fall into the getting weighed every day trap, that only seems to drive us mad.

good luck with your surgery tomorrow!

Hi Susieb... Thank you so much for your kind words They are actually two different dresses just happened to be the same colors. I did notice and thought it was funny too.

Yes all went well. I expected the worse and got the best. I am 5 days post op and have few if any problems. I drink 60 oz water per day and get in 6 small frull liquid meals a day. Thanks for your concern it is truley apreciated

You are so welcome...I agree that we are all walking the same path, just at different stages. Take care and I look forward to more posts and pic's.
Susie
