Oh Lori, what an answer to prayers if it isn't cancer. Gosh, that would be a huge relief. Still lifting you up in prayer hon. And Suz is right, gotta keep your energy and eat and not lose more weight. Can you believe someone is telling you that? Last year you would have laughed huh? Take care and keep us posted. ****HUGS*****

Hey all! Sounds like we are all testing the waters a little bit. Scary huh? As long as we remember everything in moderation! Yesterday was the first time I ate a sandwich as well (well we had subs for the Super Bowl Party) and they were cut into bitesize sandwiches, and I ate one! It's scary and I will be monitoring my weight very closely. I think that's why I was able to lose at a decent pace, I stayed away from carbs like they were the enemy. SO, we'll see. Hope Stephanie is having the time of her life there!!! Nothng new for me HW 238 SW 225 LW122-124 Today same!! Have a good week everyone!!!

I am also guilty of not posting here very often since I have reached a comfortable weight, but I do still read it. The big thing for me is it is usually Tuesday before I get to it and is seems too late to post then! SW 299 (Highest 327) CW 168 Goal is 164, but TT in March should take care of that and then some! I would like to settle around 160, but cannot get worked up about it. I am still on a "new boob" high from the lift, so I feel pretty dang good about myself! GOALS: I need to work out at least 3 times a week and I need to cut WAY down on the carbs. I have been eating sandwiches again... with 2 slices of bread (no crust). That is a new thing for me. I have never eaten an whole sandwich since surgery. A little worrisome... I also ate a piece of pizza and ate the whole crust. OH! And I have been having cereal with milk. I am tollerating too many yummy carbs that I have not tollerated since surgery. Hmmm... Makes me nervous. I guess this is another good reason to keep weighing in and posting every week!

sorry I can't help ya Danielle, but if you find out let us know!!! How have you been?

Thanks so much for posting this week Beth. We all still need accountability no matter how far out we get I have lost wayy too much weight this week. Unfortuantly the stress of everything has caused my tummy to stay upset and I've lost weight that I would prefer I hadn't this week. HW 242 LW 132 CW 129 It's been a wild ride. As many of you know I was sick last summer with a small bowel obstruction. The issues have continued since, but according to my WLS surgeon are common and nothing to worry about. With the news this last week that I have a rare form of cervical cancer, which is more common to gladular areas-such as the bowels or lungs, my GYN has requested that we do a little more research on the obstruction and has sent me to another Gastro. who he believes will get to the bottom of the issue. I met with the gastro last week and although he doesn't believe the obstruction is cancer, he promises we'll get it resolved, but believes a bowel resection (i think that's what it's called) is required. If he does need to do that they'll do that with the hysterectomy. We still have a few more test required before we get to the hysterectomy, but things are really looking up. God is sustaining and carrying us through. Thank you all for your messages and prayers. My husband Dwight & I are so thankful to each of you for your support. Love you guys Lori
