Guest guest Posted December 12, 2000 Report Share Posted December 12, 2000 Hi Everyone.. I am sooo sorry it's taken so long to get back online... 2 days before we got back from out trip, our phone was cut off... We have been fighting with sprint ever since trying to get it back on.. It was finally turned on today!! I have good news and bad news... The bad news is that i think i hit my first plateau.. But, that's ok... I've lost 1 lb in the last 11 days but it's still a loss... I don't care.. I'm sure my body is just doing what it right for me... Not even going to sweat the plateaus... The good news is that tomorrow I will be 7 weeks post op and I have lost a total of 34 lbs.. i am now down to 274!!! 2 more lbs and I will be at the weight i was when i conceived my son 2 1/2 years ago!! I have not had to buy any new clothes yet since my clothes were a bit snug in the first place.. but, I did try on a pair of jeans that I have not been able to wear since before I got pregnant and i actually got them on!! Granted, I couldn't breathe very well but they were zipped and buttoned!!! I almost cried! They should fit great in a few more weeks... Not sure how many inches i have lost... And I only weight once every 2 weeks so I will weigh again on Christmas eve since Cristmas day would be 2 months for me but the Dr's office will be closed... I will be updating my web page hopefully tomorrow too... I have been eating anything i want but of course in MUCH smaller quantities... There are some days I can eat a lot and other days i can only eat a few bites... I eat when i get hungry and stop when i get full... I don't feel deprived because i can't eat a whole plate full anymore.. I love being able to eat anything i want.. I don't have to worry about what I can and can't have... And i can sample a little of everything if I go out... I still have problems eating too fast at times because i forget I had the surgery.. But, my tummy lets me know real quick! I have not had any vomiting but have had mild dumping a few times... I seem to have developed the " stinkies " though.. LOL... Guess that's it for now... Hope this email finds everyone well.. What have I missed in the last month?? How is everyone doing?? EMAIL ME!!!!! I'm also back to digest mode... I saw that we still can't access messages from the net.. guess that " problem " hasn't gone away yet, huh? Oh well... All in due time... Love to all! In my thoughts and prayers, Terri POST-OP!! 10/25/00 BMI 55 308 1 week before surgery at PCP office 302 the morning of surgery at hospital 274 7 weeks after surgery!! 34 lbs gone FOREVER!!!! BMI 48 200 First goal! " But I tell you who hear me: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you.

Guest guest Posted December 13, 2000 Report Share Posted December 13, 2000 Terri, I was not sure who you were exactly because we have lots of Terri's Teri's and Tarri's on here!! Your post was very interesting, and when I got to the bible verse, a light bulb went off inside my head, and I remember you!!! Glad you're doing well, sorry you had problems with Sprint, I always fight with a phone company!! I think I'm plateau-ing too, but not to worry, I know I'm not eating enough to keep a hamster alive, so I don't care!! It will all catch up with me sooner or later.. Welcome back!!!
