Hi Kim. Ohhh, I am so jealous of you! You are doing so well and here I am heavier than you. I know that I lost about 10 pounds since surgery but I'll be checking in this evening with Dr. Guske. You are an inspiration to me.

Just reading your message got me thinking about how excited and happy I was when I was losing weight and feeling great. It was just what I needed today. Thank you my dear friend. Are you doing anything this weekend?? Would you be interested in coming over and bringing the kids to the pool?? Sunday is supposed to be a good day, weather-wise. I'd love to see you. Ah, so you saw Dr. Wallace, Dr. McDreamy #2 in my book. Of course, I think Dr. Guske is the Dr. McDreamy!!! I so look forward to getting my first fill, only 3 more weeks. But I have to do the work in the meantime. Once I get the go ahead from Dr. Guske, I will start exercising again. I think that combined with proper eating, will spurt my weight loss. I was eating way too much, in between meals, grazing as well as eating too much at mealtime. I have a second chance now, so I have to give it my all. It has to be my priority in life. Thanks again Kim. You don't know how much your message and words meant to me today. Big congratulations on your success!!!

Hugs, Lucy

Good Morning everyone, Happy Thursday! Marilyn I'll keep you in my prayers today that the depression will pass. And Monica I'll be praying for you and your biopsy results too. I got a call from my endocrinologists nurse late yesterday , she wants to see me at 2:45 today instead of my next appt June 19th. The nurse would only say that some of my tests were abnormal. I had lots of blood work done and an ultrasound on my Thyroid. The doc was checking my blood sugar and thyroid so I'm guessing it's one of those things since we already knew my cholesterol and triglycerides are high. Oh well, I am not going to worry about it ...whatever will be will be. I'm off to get the granddaughters this am, we are going to plant petunias in my neighbors window box this morning. "Miss Katherine" will be 86 today, she is just the sweetest lady I know, and she loves flowers. Then a walk to the playground. Have a wonderful day! Pauette

Good morning Marilyn and everyone. It seems like so many of us at one time or another suffer from depression. So I can completely understand what we are all going through. I am taking Cymbalta since December for depression. It sure has helped a lot. I used to cry a lot. Now I'm so much better. I'm so excited for Kim. She is a hottie already and I can't wait to see her! She inspired me today and I am so thankful for her as well as everyone else on this board. I think the Illinois board is the BEST! We are not afraid or ashamed to share our experiences, both good and not so good. We are not judgemental. Everyone is supportive here and that is what it is all about. I am looking forward to our next get together. I miss seeing you all. Today I have an appointment to see Dr. Guske at 6:30. I am looking forward to seeing him. I haven't seen him since I saw him in Same Day Surgery. So I have a lot of questions to ask. I think I lost about 10 pounds since last Thursday's weigh in at surgery time. I am looking forward to my first fill in about 3 weeks. Hope Monica got some rest and will get the biopsy results soon. You're in my prayers too Monica. Love and Hugs, Lucy

Seems like we should be in better weather and we just aren't getting it....I know it would help. You have all of us to lean on if you need! Hugs to you Pam
