I have had a rough start to the new year!! Sine the 1st my Dad has been hospitalized. I was hoping for a littlle good news. Today I went to my 10 week check up! Things are going well and I was really happy to see my results. If any of you read my posts you may know that I don't own a scale and I don't weigh myself daily. I can't give normal stats like most people because of this. My next apt is March 9th & I won't weigh myself again until then.

So I can give you this:

Oct 12: 291 (started liquide diet)

Oct 24: 279 (surgery)

Nov 3: 269

Dec 4: 257

Jan 12: 236

I see lots of posts about the dreaded stall. I'm sure I had them along the way, but I'm none the wiser! My clothes feel great! I feel good. This life change has not been hard, surgery and post surgery instructions/plan have been easy. Life has been hard and given me some curve balls, but I have stayed the course! I'm down 55 lbs and about 20 lbs away from fitting back into my favorite jeans!!

Thanks Gwen, love the support and appreciate it. The good news was the weight loss. 

My dad has an uphill climb.....found out his infection is now in his bloodstream! He had some other things going on! I hope a week from now I post he is home and doing well!!

Sorry I didn't respond to this sooner, I've been computerless.  Is your dad home yet?  I hope that he is!  Or that he's at least doing much better!

Hi Gwen, thanks for asking and checking in. He is in the ICU right now, as scary as it sounds I know he is being well taken care of by the nurses and doctors. I'm praying that they get him well. This has been hard and even harder for my Mom. Thank you again for asking!
