Well I seem to be doing well on this liquid diet but sometimes I feel like I am drowning...lOL TOday has been a tired day for me I have had so much energy since I came home form the hospital. I went to work yesterday for a few hours and I think it really knocked me out. I really don't want to be going back to my job I got a new job that I cna stay at home and work afternoons so I can workout every morning. I am really excited about. But the Gym I work at has called to tell me they fired the other Sales rep and need me ASAP and I am finding it hard to say no...... I told them I was taking off the month as per Dr Kam and When I see the Dr I will let them if I can come back sooner... But I have to tell them no... so hard.... I hate to dissappoint people. But I have to do whats good for me. Thnx for letting me vent... So I finally changed my Avatar and it is my before picutre.. I am now down about 18 pounds since Consult and 13 since surgery. At first I was losing 2 pounds a day and then it went 1 pound and now to 1/2 a pouind a day. I am not complaining I have not seen this weight in many years. I will get my official weight from Dr kam's office though!! I am seeing him on Monday.. Can not wait... Elisa 253/235/125

OUCH!!! Seeing the subject of your post made me laugh so hard it hurt. (I did a major ab workout yesterday and am really sore.) IMO, you did the right thing telling work that you couldn't go back to work. They knew you were out on medical leave before they fired the other sales rep. It was THEIR decision to do so and that has nothing to do with you. You shouldn't suffer for their decisions.

I know how you feel with everything that we have going on in our lifes it is hard to say NO when we work as hard as we do...Well you made a good choice...Right now is you time and I am so happy that you are doing so well...I am feeling like a water balloon myself...It will get better...I keep letting myself that...As for my weight loss. I figured I am down from 303 in Jan. to 290 before surgey and 272 now...well 2 days ago....I think I hit a darn plataeu....So I think we are doing great.... Keep up the great work....I hope to see you on MON..

Looking forward to the Monday reunion! The urge to chew something -- anything -- has been really bad this week. The worst? After I went into the office for three hours on Friday! Obviously, I have some work-food issues to work on !!! Can't wait to get out of this all-liquid phase. Starting to feel really good -- lots of energy -- and down 15 since surgery (31 since initial consult, 50 from my top weight last fall!). But I'm not ready for a full day at the office yet. Three hours on Friday -- all sitting in meetings -- exhausted me.

Jenny, I'm just starting this journey and so when I read what everyone writes it gives me hope. Sounds like you are starting out great!!! Sometimes IT IS GOOD to be super busy AND tired....gives you little time for other things. Just think...all the stuff YOU read at one time is now a reality!!!! Everything you worked so hard to achieve is finally happening....KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK.... Cindy
