Weel, it's been a while since I've posted!!! Life has been very full and ajusting to this new lifestyle has been and is great, but time consuming. I am now 9 weeks post op and I have lost 70lbs!!!! Praise God!!!! I never knew that 70 lbws would make such a difference in my life. I ws dianozed with degenraive joint disease and told that I would be in a wheelchair by my 50th birthday,which is May 4,2003, but guess what?i'M NOT HARDLY IN A WHEELCHAIR AND I'M NOT HEADING THAT WAY!!!maybe to a ski resort, but not a whellchair!!!! I was wearing a size 30 1/2 and some 28's 1/2, but now I'm wearing a size 22W and some 22's!!! What a life!!! I'm getting stares and comments on how wonderful I look and I'm not even done yet.Trying to get use to eating again is my largest concern, because some days my food gets stuck and that doesn't feel so good, but my WLS siblings are helping me and for that I'm so gratefull.Keep praying for me and e-mail me sometimes or just post a comment or two.

Hello everybody! I'm back again! I got lost and didn't know where to post. i've been dealing with this new life and how to eat and have been very pre-occupied! forgot to ask about me having a bowel movement and it had been almost 4 weeks since I had, but thanks to my WLS friends, you all told me to "hurry up and call the Doc" and i did and n ow that's straight. I've lost 30lbs since surgery 12/23/02 and now I weigh 306!!!! Praise God!!! I'm really hoping that next week I'll weigh 299 or beloe. It's been years, and I mean years, since I've weighed 2 hundred and anything, so you can just imagina how I'm feeling. I hope sincerely that everyone out there is coming on fine and for all of you who are waiting, it's going to well worth the trip. Just don't take no Advil like I did last night. I thought I would literally DIE, but I called the Doc and I lived. Too Strong for my new stomach! Well, until another time, now that I know how to get here, be blessed!!!! Leslie in Indiana P.S. Feel free to e-mail me @ any time.

If you haven't had a bowel movement in the past 3 wks. I suggest going to your Dr today. You should never go past 3 days. Otherwise you can develop a bowel obstruction to which my Ex-husband died from. If you have difficulty with being constipated you need to definitely follow-up with your surgeon.
