Guest guest Posted December 1, 2005 Report Share Posted December 1, 2005 > I will be in Fremont tomorrow. I have an appt with Dr. Dennen at noon. I am on my TOM and the scale has been all over the place this week. Sunday I got on and I was down to 239 and was hoping to get to 237 to have lost 40 lbs since surgery in 2 months. But then I got on Monday and was up to 243 then Tuesday 242 and yesterday 240... This morning 241.5 weird thing is I know I am doing everything I am supposed to hoping it is bloating from my TOM....

Guest guest Posted December 1, 2005 Report Share Posted December 1, 2005 : I am so glad to hear that you are doing so well!! ANy problems with any foods for you? I only have a problem with milk. So here are the latest stats: May 2005: 340 pounds Orientation 6/17/05: 327 SUrgery 08/01/05: 305 this morning: 223 pounds I have lost a tremendous amount of weight, and it is still coming off.It is 82 pounds since surgery 4 months ago today. I have gone from a size 28 pant into a 16 comfortably, 14 squeezing the life out of me. I have lost a total of 49 incehs overall, and workout like a mad woman. I never in a million years thought that I would get out of bed at 5:30 in the morning to go exercise, but I do. COngrats on the business. I am toying with some ideas myself, seeing if there isn't something that I would like to do from home. I am a Kay consultant, so I will probably start building my clientele up there. ANy way, I am so glad that you got to read my post. Keep me posted and I will try to get on here a little more often. Take care, Tamara > > > > Hello everyone!!

Guest guest Posted July 9, 2007 Report Share Posted July 9, 2007 Hello Everyone,Again I must apologize for not being active. Tracie I am glad you mentioned Kim...because I have been very worried about her too. Was anyone ever able to find a phone number for her kids? If you can send me her kids names by email I will try to find them. I lost all of her emails when my computer had problems. Darleen, you are truly a miracle. I envy you your good attitude. And to everyone else ...keep your chin up..I know it is hard to do I am still struggling with the pain from Shingles. While the lesions have healed up well on my face I continue to have pain. My late husband's best friend is a pain doctor. He has been so great over the years with injections into my joints for pain, but this time he won't do an injection. So he is referring me to another pain specialist who can do an injection into the 5th cranial nerve. Anyone had this done? I am very worried about getting this done, but I trust Steve completely and if he says this doctor can help I suppose I should listen. I have an appt to go over my medications with my NP on Weds because they won't prescribe Lyrica because it is contraindicated with something else I am taking and I hope that is something that can be changed. I am currently taking Neurotin and it has helped some. And to think I was worried about the scars on my face when this all stated I started back on Remicade.. this time I am experiencing a lot of bone pain after I took it. I know that is strangeTake Care To ALL.... And a big thank you to all of you who try so hard to keep this site going!Ruth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 11, 2007 Report Share Posted July 11, 2007 Ruth, I hope they can get you on the Lyrica it has been a blessing for me, I am not on neurontin, I think that might be contraindicated, as the pharmacist asked me if I was still taking Neurontin when I picked up the Lyrica, he said you shouldn’t be on both. Anyway my doc told me they have had great success with pain related to Diabetes and shingles, good luck, glad to hear your’e hanging in there. I have found the Lyrica to work great on my nerve pain, head to toe on the Left side, and when I am even a little late on taking my pill I feel the face pain starting back up. Good stuff.
