The NY apartment is cool.  We are going to be seeing some community shows -- Little Women and an original 3 part play thing that was written by our friends.  More fun than that is when we go into the city and just hang out and walk around and all.  Never really had an issue walking up and down Broadway, but from what I understand there is no more car traffic around Times Square so I am looking forward to just browsing around there.

As for the 22 pounds.  In and of itself I guess it is ok, but I am comparing it to what I lost when I had my RNY and for going thru another major surgery with everything else (especially the issues with eating) it is truly trying my patience trying to figure out WHY I went thru all this.  With my RNY I stopped losing in 6 months so until I bypass that 6 mos and/or the lowest weight I had gotten to, this surgery won't seem like it is a success to me.  Does that make sense?

I haven't really talked to my doc about the spasms. Had him put me on Reglan and in doing some reading am now taking a very low dose of ativan along with the reglan to help relax the alimentary tract in hopes of that being able to keep food down and everything happy.  Sometimes it works, sometimes not so much.  That being said, I did have a McDonald's hamburger patty today that stayed down beautifully -- the chicken nugget not so much (keep in mind I need high protein and fat so the McDs burger is good for me).

171 pounds!!!!  You go girl!!!!!  :-)

Darlene, you have every right to vent about that!  If this is happening then I am not doing my job for my Zone So PLEASE keep me informed!

IF you never hear back from your pal that you send to or that you reveive from, PLEASE let me know.  I am really still peeved about last round where 8, yes 8 people, never got a package for June.  Makes me sick to be very honest!

Amen to that!  :-)  We rearranged the office so now the treadmill is DOWN and ready to be used!  I need Divine Intervention to get me on that thing!

DEVON!!!!  Stay off the treadmill!  You don't want to make it worse, do you?

What is Chike? 

It has been fall like here all summer so far.  Was a little warmer today.  Hope this does not mean a bad winter!!!

I think you look super in those pictures!
