when the sun comes up you'd better be running.

Topic: 5 month Surgiversary
So today is my 5 month post-op. I'm feeling fabulous. I haven't been online much, as I've been at my mom's (she had hernia surgery 10 days ago, and I've been staying with her till her post op appointment Friday).

Anyway, I am now officially 100 lbs. down from my highest (week before surgery) ! ! !  I feel wonderful, and even though the loss is slowing down a bit, still averaging about 3 or 4 lbs. per week. No big or  major complications!

NSV -> I was sitting at my mom's last nigh****ching a movie, and then looked down. I ABOUT JUMPED OUT OF THE CHAIR!!! MY LEGS WERE CROSSED!!! not at the ankle or calves, but MY THIGHS WERE CROSSED!!!! 

Well, something to blog about later.

Hope all you other Feb. 9'ers are doing well, and happy.

Hugs to all-
Kathy

LOL.... I just asked the previous poster what nsv is and you hit me with another one.... what's sv?? And here I thought I had all the abriviations down.

That's how my loss goes..... drop, stall, gain, bounce up and drop within 3lbs, stall, drop.... it's so frustrating!!

What great SV and NSV for you!  I have stalls every month.  After each fill I dropped a few pounds than I put it on the next week.  Fight it going up and down the third and get it back down by the fourth.  It is really frustrating.  You think you got it going on than everything goes to heck.
