To The Group- This Saturday marked my 10th month since surgery. Today I posted a new picture on the picture board on our website. It still amazes me that this picture is actually me..... The changes I have gone through are all so numerous but not a one has been negative. I still have a ways to go, but i know that i am going to get there and that is gods greatet gift to me...............I want to thank all my family and friends for sharing this journey with me and you are my online family and Thank you so much each and every one of you................... One of my biggest wishes was that my husband could pick me up and twirl me, well the other day he did that, it was as if i was in a major motion picture and even though there wasnt music playing like in a movie, in my mind it was so loud and fun and crazy................and i was just laughing..................my stepson picks me up sometimes now and piggy backs me, i just

laugh........................... Life is just so much better ! thanks for sharing it with me ! Colleenheresawho wrote: I'm 3 weeks post-op today. No pain, incisions have heeled and I'm generally feeling pretty swell. It's truly an amazing trip; I've already lost 30 lbs. I advanced to stage 3 foods after my visit with Dr. Baggs last Friday. Only problem I continue to have is the lack the energy. Sheesh… I can hardly keep my eyes open in the afternoon and I'm ready to crash at 7:00 pm. I've been strictly adhering to the Richmond doctrine but now I'm feeling a no/low carb energy supplement might be of help. Any advice?HBTW- I visited Barbara H. this PM in Richmond, she is up walking, looks terrific and is raring to go!

Gordy ! Thanks ! How are you feeling ? I hope you are doing well, I remember how tired i was but how i looked forward to my walks here and there and how i just hated sipping that water, it took me months to ever get the water in at the amount that i was suppose to. and my stomach was sore like someone punched me but it just got better as time went on. Are you doing ok ? ColleenGordy wrote: Colleen....You look FANTASTIC !! Congratulations....!Regards,Gordy> I'm 3 weeks post-op today.

Actually, I'm doing pretty good. I'm off to Kaiser Richmond on Thursday to weigh in again. I'm really hoping that I can be below 460. I weighed in at Napa this morning and was 462. So I went and did some shopping and walked my butt off (literally, I hope). hehehe (And Robynn, I'm hoping to get to meet you at Richmond on Thursday!)

Colleen, I always enjoy our chat sessions and hope to have more. We'll have to try getting together earlier in the evening and maybe more people can join in. Take care...

Ron
