Hello! Hope you're all doing fine! Well, not a whole lot of news, losing has been a little slow, but I'm still losing, so that is fine! I've upped my water intake, and that's helping, with no real exercise, I think 57lbs. in 6mo.is great! I'm just biding my time. Enjoying the Olympics on TV now. That's all my news!lol I have such an exciting life.haha Oh yea, my daughter-in-law who's expecting my first grandson in Nov. is doing fine. I just found out I'll be able to go to the shower! I'm so excited about that, as my van company is closed on week-ends, but said they'd take me. So nice of them! Of course, it will cost me about $40.00 to go and come home. It's at her sister's, about 10 minutes from here!ha Oh well, as long as I can go!

So you all take care, good luck on all of your journeys, I'm sure I'll be talking to some of you soon!!!

Hi! Haven't been here in a while! Not a lot of news. Well, I am now not only on as much in pain pills that I can take, but also a very expensive pain patch! I am taking in more protein, and upped my calories a little, trying to lose faster, but I don't think I am meant to lose fast. It is no help that I can't get in any real exercise. I seem to be in a pattern where I don't lose for like 3 wks., then I drop maybe 4-5 lbs. at once. I think my fill finally kicked in. I finally hit the -50lbs. Seems like forever, but guess I'm doing ok. Now I have 30lbs. to lose b4 my surgeon will replace my hips! Can't be soon enough!! The pain is just unbearable! Well, that's all my news, so will talk later!!!

Just wanted to check in, I'm now down 44 lbs. in three months! i think that's real good for not getting any exercise! that's 3.6 lbs. a week. I'd really like to lose it faster, because when I hit 210, my surgeon will replace my first hip! I can't wait!!!!! At least another 4 months! Hope I can make it with this pain! I thought for sure it would let up the more i lost, but it hasn't!! Got worse. Doctor says it's because the bones are rubbing on new parts of the bones, as I'm walking different! How about that!!!! Well, talk to you soon!!!! Can't wait to hit that 50 mark!!!

Hi! Haven't added anything in some time! Went to the doctor4-26-04, didn't need another fill, as I've been losing steady, not real fast, but I seem to stay right around 10 lbs. lost every month. I can feel when I've had enough to eat, so why change it!
I go back now the end of July, unless I feel like I need a fill.

Well, hello! It's been a while since I updated! All is well. Not much to report, had my first fill on 3-26, can't tell much difference. I've always had no problem , I just quit eating when I feel full. It's always about the right amount. I'd still like a little more restriction, though. I've lost 35 to date. Not bad with no real exercise. I never could have done it on my own!I'll probably sit for a week now, and lose inches.When I look at it like I've lost 14 lbs. since 3-26, I guess that's a lot!!! I go back on the 30th, so we'll see what he says then.

Now, I got an e-mail from someone wanting help choosing Dr. Chua, and advise. I'd love to help you, but your e-mail address was messed up, and I have no way to find you. There's about 50 ways you could have found me, so I'm at a loss. Hope you read this again.

So....will talk to you later!!!

Well, it's all over, and all went well! I'm just sore. It wasn't bad at all, I was surprised. Came home Saturday, which was the next day. I'm eating a mixture of the clear liquid, and full liquid diet, tomorrow will start incorporating the pureed diet. Have had no problem with any food. Just had 2 0z. v-8, and 4 0z. Cr. of mush. soup for lunch. In 2 and a half hours, will have 6 0z. of no sugar added carnation instant breakfast, then in 2 and a half hours, supper. More soup, and v-8. Works great!
I want to thank ALL of you great people that sent me messages of well wishes! You're all so great! Bless you all! I go on the 24th for my first doctors visit, will let you know how we're doing. Take care!

Well, just had my pre-op tests, and am I glad that's over! I have severe arthritis in my hips and pelvis, so all the moving around, and all those tables in pre-test just about killed me! Now I'm praying all the tests are ok, as I also had most of my right lung removed from lung cancer, and have been fine for four years. Keep your fingers crossed! ha So, we're being positive, and soon it will all be over, and can get to the important part of this journey. Losing the pounds! A big part though, has been how great you all are! I've gotten so much support from you, it's greatly appreciated! Will keep you informed! Next time we talk, I'll be on the way!!
