Topic: PS Tomorrow!
Hey all, just popping in to let you all know that my PS is tomorrow. Man, am I a WRECK! Ok, not a total wreck, but nervous, for sure, and I still have SO MUCH to do...
Today I've got to take a final at 9am because it was originally scheduled for Wednesday and I'll be unavailable at that time. I have to stop by work (I took the day off) and drop off presents to my office mates), I'm having lunch with a friend, Holden has a dentist appt at 1 for his bottom braces, I have some last minute shopping to do for stuff I need around the house the next couple of weeks, I have class tonight for my photography class in which I have a portfolio due (which isn't done yet!) and then surgery tomorrow in the morning!
Whew!
Tomorrow I have to be at the clinic at 6:15 for prep for surgery at 7:30. The doc said 3.5 - 5 hours and then about 1-2 hours recovery before they send me home. So I'm thinking at the LATEST, I'll be getting home around 3:30 or so... Of course, I have NO idea how I'll feel or how lucid I'll be but I'll check in with ya'll as soon as I can.
Wish me luck!

Topic: RE: 18 Month Surgiversary!!!
I have a similar situation... I've lost 112 pounds and have about 150 to go, so mine might be a bit worse! I've been hardcore plateauing for about 6 months, and the last year I've only lost an average of 1/2 lb a week... most of my weight loss was in the first 3 months.
I'm just trying to get back to basics -- journal my food, eat right, and exercise. I'm doing it a little bit at a time -- not trying to get back to 800 cals a day, but trying to keep it to 1200 to 1800.
Surgery date: 5/13/05
405.5/293.5/155.5
Topic: RE: 8 Week Challenge: 5 Weeks Down, 3 Weeks To Go
I want to lose 10 lbs by Christmas! Darn.
I'm coming in late on the ol' 8-week challenge, but after a long plateau I'm trying to get back to what works. My goal is to write down everything I eat, calories, etc etc. My goal is 1200 to 1800 calories a day, depending on whether I go to the gym, etc.
My surgery was 5/13/05

Topic: RE: Laurie, how'd it go?
UGH!! Well, upon arrival I was informed that they couldn't find my medical records. They were "misplaced". So the doctors had NOTHING to go by and the appointment was pretty much a complete waste of time.
They did another round of blood work, and depending on what that says will determine their next step with me.
They said for me to call them next week for the results and gave me an appointment for two months from now.
SIGH - UGH - GGGGGRRRRRR

Topic: still can't log in
Hi Maysters!!
I contacted OH and still can't figure out why I can't log in. I am here at work right now so I can actually say "Hey"
I have gained about 8 lbs over the past 2 months and I attribute alot of it to not being able to "chat" with my OH family. I am going to try and create a new user name tomarrow so I can get back to visiting.
Wish me luck on that venture...computers and me just don't seem to get along!
Wishing everyone the best!!!
Jen
