Thursday
 

Hello one and all.

Sorry for not posing in a long time but I have not felt very well for quite a while and just had surgery to cure my ailments.

How is everyone doing? I tried digging through the threads but it is too tiring to complete right now, seems like the summer has made a bunch of us sporadic posters. Please, if you have the time give me a mini update I would really appreciate it!

My weight is doing well but they blew so much air into my abdomen that I look like the Pillsbury dough girl right now! Honest to Pete, My navel goes in for about 3 inches, with this weird ledge running along the top, WAH! I am not to begin exercising for 6 weeks so I wonder how long it will take to recede.

I also have this horrible image in my head of the air going in and my belly instantly inflating and shocking the bejeebbers out of the OR staff. Is that bizarre or what? Oh, the things that go through our heads. (OK, maybe just my head, LOL!)

Hope you all had a Fab summer and are all healthy, happy and doing well.

Big TOPS hug to you all

Oh CC, I AM SO GLAD TO SEE YOU BACK!! SPECIAL "GET WELL" {{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{VIBES}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}} }}}}} to YOU!!!!!!!! We have missed you so much around this board. Hey, I still make a mean cup of coffee.....want some?

Geesh, sounds like you have been through a lot. Gotta tell ya, the Pillsbury Dough Boy is one of my favorite 'critters' so you must be just adorable. I'd poke ya in the belly to see ya laugh!:lol: :lol:

Ok, My update, you probably know that I lost my KOPS....but last night I did lose 1.75#'s so I'm headed back in the right direction. Now I have 6 more to goal.....but we all know how hard those last 10 can be. Really want to get it back soon, since I feel like :censored:

Sherri, Hope you have a loss tonight. Sounds like Megans preschool is keeping you busy.....but hey, that might help with the losses too! YES!!!!! No more dorito's OK????

Wendy, Kayaking, huh? Now the real challange would be doing it on one of Colorado's white water rapids!! You go girl!!!!!! I appreciate your words about your sister. Yes, you do have some idea. What did your sister have, if you don't mind my asking? You're gonna have a loss next weigh in!

Eleni, I'm proud of you for choosing the fruit. Now keep up the wise choices when you go away this weekend. Put on your positive frame of mind and KNOW that YOU can succeed at whatever you desire to do.

Nancy L, You should be thrilled with more than 12 #'s gone in 7 wks. That is WONDERFUL success!!!! Our gains.....and losses do not occur overnight. Take a deep breath and know that you are heading in the right direction. Great going! Oh, by all means go and enjoy yourself at your favorite restaurant. You should never deprive yourself of anything. The key is moderation and wise choices. Go and be proud of yourself!!!! Happy Birthday too!

Virginia, Welcome to our great little group. CONGRATULATIOS on your walking away those 10#'s!!!!!

Liz, I LOVE your escalator analogy!! I read it to my husband and am going to write it down and take it to my meeting next week. I truly can picture myself on that escalator. I used to love that challange when I was young.............and remember how hard it was! Sorry about your gain this summer, but you too are so close to goal. Lots of times I think there are some psychological reasons to our sabotaging our success when we get so close to goal. YOU CAN and WILL get your KOPS status!

Nita, Christie, Maryann, Coco, C4C, and all you other beautiful ladies..........have a super remainder of your day. Keep up the good fight and WE ALL will achieve whatever we desire.
