Well I finally broke the stall - yes that's right I weighed - I just can't seem to get away from it, especially since I work in a hospital (scales EVERYWHERE)!  I am now down 52 pounds and feel relief, I told myself that I would begin to lose again, but it's still a good feeling to start losing again.  I have not been exercising in over a week and need to get started again.  I quit exercising when I pulled something in my back and then had stomach pain (muscle) and even hip and leg pain, I wonder now if it wasn't some kind of flu.  Anyways . . . I didn't exercise and feel better now but have been working really strange shifts, so tomorrow I do plan to get back to the gym!  I go see my surgeon next Friday, I am very excited to go and see him and the nutritionist they are always very encouraging and I haven't seen them for what will be three months!  It's so hard to believe that three months is already passed, it seems like it was only yesterday that I was so scared that I wouldn't be approved for surgery.
