Dear Paula...Listen to what you are saying. You have had a marvelous and quick weight loss. Try not to compare yourself to others and try not to get hung up on the numbers. WLS is a tool!!! Use it and learn to eat right and learn to control your emotions with something other than food. A greasy hamburger is not the way to meet your needs. Stay positive!

Paula, I read your post yesterday and I hope you didn't go through with your threat to go to Wendy's and eat a berger till you puke cause I have been having some problems with foods I SHOULD be able to eat and it hurts ALOT when things get stuck and you have to puke. I am 9 weeks post and I have lost 47 lbs. I know others lose faster but its better than still having those extra pounds. I saw the before and after photos that you refered to (20 weeks post-100 lbs) and if you click on her picture you can read her post and guess what........at 6 weeks post she had lost 42 lbs. Keep on track you're doing great! Patty

Hey Paula! I know it's frustrating but plateaus happen. You lost so much in your first 11 days that your body just needs to rest and catch up. I had my first plateau at 3 weeks post op. I thought that I'd stopped losing weight and was just a failure. Now here I am 9 months out and down 75% of the weight I need to lose. Just hang in there and keep doing what you're supposed to be doing and it will catch up soon! Best wishes!

i just spoke to paula & she sounds great! her ng tube & catheter came out this morning & she has been up 3 times to go potty. she isnt walking the halls yet because the morphine is making her dizzy. the dr said she can have ice chips & popsicles but he forgot to write the order in her chart & the nurses havent been able to get in touch with him yet. poor paula is sooooo thirsty! she is at st johns detroit riverview hospital. the phone # is (313) 499-4150 & her room # is 3224. thanks family, for keeping paula in ur prayers.

well paula's dh harley is as good as his word. he called me from paula's room after she woke up & told me she was doing very well. then he asked if i would like to speak to her! U BET I DO! she still has the ng tube in & her throat hurt but she sounded great! her sense of humor is still in tact. when i asked how she felt she said...oh i have had better days. lolol. i will call her again tomorrow after the ng tube is removed. paula baby, with that great attitude & fantastic hubby, i just know u r gonna do great!
