Hi - I'm Kim and I have a weight problem.  I am scheduled to have GBS on Feb. 8th 2008.  Yesterday I started my pre-op diet and I am just hungry.   I'm really looking for some support and people to talk to about this to help me through this.

OMG just got on the scale and I am at 73 lbs down today.  I am shocked!  it's so awesome!!!

I haven't been on lately and I apologize to anyone who has been looking for me.  I'm so tired any more at night.  My daughter started working with me about 6 weeks ago and her hours are earlier in the day; since work is about 1/2 hour away I changed my hours to drive in with her; the shift in hours is making me go to bed earlier and I am just plain exhausted at night!!!!

I hope everyone is well.
Take care
I promise to get it back together to get on more !
Kim

4 months out....63 lbs down.
I'm happy.  If I could get my butt exercising, I could have lost more.....I have been feeling pretty good about myself though.  I went clothes shopping and went from a size 32 down to a 22/24 - it's an amazing feeling to be in a size you haven't seen for about 12 years!

I recently visited a friends site here and she used the words "blending in" with everyone else, I have to say that's exactly the way I feel at this point too.  I no longer feel like I have to cover myself up with my arms in front of me.  I don't feel self conscience about myself either anymore, so that's an awesome thing!

Well I hope everyone is having a great 4th of July weekend.

Take care

I have lost 55 lbs to date.  I went for my 3 month check up last week and the doctor said I am doing well on my diet.  The only thing I was told about was the fact that I am not exercising.  It's so hard to remember to do something as the moment I get in the door at night I have too many people asking me questions or telling me stories.  Next thing I know it's time for bed.  I will get there.

There are still days when I am feeling very fatigued.  The doctor said it's because I am dehydrated and I need to ramp up my water intake.  I try so hard to drink all the time but I guess I just don't do it.  I don't understand how before surgery I could drink 2 glasses of fluid a day and now I am drinking 50oz of fluids a day and I am still not getting enough.  Where is it going?  What is it doing?

Anyway, that's about all unless you want to hear about how my teenagers are driving me absolutely out of my mind.  Talk about stress!!!

Take care all!

My Story

I live in Philadelphia.  Married.  Am guardian to 3 kids (my 2 nieces and 1 nephew).  Have had them for 8 years now.  They are 16, 18, 21.  I have 3 cats and a dog.  I work in the accounting field.

I've been heavy all my life.  My joke is that I came out of my mom a size 16 and just blew up from there.  Currently I am a size 30/32 and I hate it.  There are times I just feel like a manatee sitting around.  There's no life left in me and I know it has to change.  I'm hoping that the second half of my life is wonderful and healthy and I have intentions of trying to make it that way.  I really want it to be that way.

I really don't know what else to say here......
Take care
