Chip, sorry to hear about your hospitalization! Hope you have a speedy recovery.
Congratulations on entering the wonderful place called ONEderland! 
This is your final place to land in your weight loss journey. You may retain some fluids, but it will come off again...
Feel better soon!

Lucy Topic: I Got My Plastic Surgery Date!
I got a call from the plastic surgeon's office. I got my date!! Yippee!!
It's Wednesday, November 29th at 7:30 a.m. I will have my final repair for my hernia plus a lower belt lipectomy. The good news is that I will also have my general surgeon there! 
Now it's time for the countdown... Let's see... 23 days in September, 31 days in October and 28 days in November... total days to surgery is 82! Wow, that's not even 3 months... 
Well, I will be quite busy until then. I'm working every Sunday and will be working Thanksgiving Day and up until the day of surgery. There are only 2 Sundays that I won't work, the week I'm going to Atlanta for a conference (leaving next Friday the 15th) and when I go on the OH Hawaii cruise, November 6th. I had to work extra because of my emergency hernia surgery at which time I took a month's worth of sick time. The time will fly!
I will be off for the holidays and probably return to work after New Years. What a wonderful Christmas and New Years present for me. Bringing in a new year with a new me!
Can you tell that I'm excited??
Now I have to see what the insurance is willing to cover... Then I have to pay the rest. Thank goodness that I have a home equity loan.
Hugs,
Lucy

Topic: ONEDERLAND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm now just "Over weight"
Hello All,
We'll I have bad news and good news. I just got home from the hospital. I had a fever of 103 on Monday night and by Tuesday could not stand. It turn out I was dehydrated and had an intestinal something but all seems well and they released me this morning. When I weighed myself I was at 199. I'm now 19 pounds from goal and only Overweight now longer obese. I'm sure Onederland will be short lived as I usually put on a pound or two after a hospital stay but it incentive to eat right and try to gain as little as possible.

Topic: RE: Plastic consult today
Congrats on the plastic consult Wendy! I think you are too hard on yourself....but aren't we all? I have a very large abdominal hernia that I should be having repaired in the next few months. I feel like I will have a TT when it is fixed as it is SOOO big. Good luck and keep us posted. Diane

Topic: RE: What is wrong with me?!?!?!?
Hey Callie,
I can't give you real advice right now as I am struggling with some major demons right now. But I know that Sara posted about a week ago or so about metabolic testing and it showed her how many calories she needed to lose or gain weight. You might want to go back and read her post, maybe this testing would help you also. I do know that food journaling helps alot of people also.
Keep trying, I know you can do it. We have come too far to give up!
Wendy
