  This is how I feel since having this last surgery.  I had half my thyroid removed on the 28th of January because of a tumor in that half.  Still waiting to be sure there where no cancer cells, will find out on Monday.  I have been having panic attacks since waking up from anesthesia.  Have an appointment with my PCP to find out if there is a medication I can take to get me back in the swing of things.  As for my weight I think I am where I need to be, but my family thinks I need to put back on about 5 pounds.  I think I need to lose more wieght, but alot of it is loose skin that will need to be removed when I save up.  Well enough venting for now, love all of you.  Densie

Well it has been over 10 months since my surgery and I am in the 160's who would have thought I would ever see these numbers again.  Still want to see teh 150's, but they are coming very slowly.  I have been very busy with work and going into the winter time in the hospital.  Almost done with this semester of school, then just 3 semesters and 1 summer class and I will have my MSN.  The last month has been a pain in the *ss, one of my sons had to have his appendix out the he got C-Diff from the antibiotic use and missed 3 weeks of school, so if anyone sees me on the front page he really was sick not just playing hookie.  He was starting to feel better, then he got hte stomach bug going around the town and is home sick today.  Well I will keep all my weight loss buddies in my thoughts going into the holidays. be safe. 

Well here it is September 1st already.  I have been out shopping for the perfect pair of jeans and they do not exist.  I am now in a size 14 Yhea!, but I need a pair that mekes my non-existent butt look like it's there.  My other problem is I am 5 "9" so I need long jeans and I live in the world of short jeans. 
I am going to school full time working on my Masters degree in Nursing WOW is that alot of work on top of working full time and family.  My two boys are both playing football and loving it, the girl are just going to school one in college and one graduating high school this year (damm I feel old).  Oh well time to get my butt moving for the day, Love Ya.

Well I have made it to six months out and I am feeling great.  I have lost over 70 pounds and am hoping to lose 40 more before my 1 year out in January.  I am fitting in a size 16 down from a 22-24 that is great.  I still am having trouble seeing the weight lose, but everyone else does.

I am 3 months out and down 47 pounds, I still can't se it but my clothes are beginning to get loose.  I just posted new pictures that just happened to be right at my 3 month mark.
I am still having trouble with getting all the protein and water, but I just did my 3 month lab work and it all looked good so I am not to worried.

Well I am 8 weeks out and feeling so much better.  I am down 30 pound which I think is pretty good even if it is a little slow.  I went back to work 2 weeks ago and kick my ass I get tired fast. 

Well I have hit a nasty stall in the road. I have not moved the scale in like a week. I have added a walking a mile to my day I get in al my water and still no movement on the scale.  I am getting worried that I wil never lose all the weight I want to lose.  I have a great support system in SusanB. telling me it will happen and not to panic. i am still having pain in my left side and will not return to work till March 5th.  Thank god for the great team of nursese I work with picking up my slack.

This is me today!!!!  I have to leave at 3 in the morning to be in Tucson by 7:30 to have my iv access placed before I start the bowel prep and get dehydrated.  Then I don't haveto be back at teh hospital till Wednesday at 11:30 for my surgery.   Today I am so scared and feel very anxoius about my surgery.  I know I am making the right decision, but I wish it was over and I was home healing.  Please keep me in your thoughts and save my seat on the bench.

Well I am less than three weeks away from surgery.  I am getting scared about how my family will feel if something goes wrong.  Will my kids hate me for being selfish and taking myself away from them.  I know in my heart I have made the right decision, but what if?????   My DH is very quite which makes it worse. I am also afraid of just how much whinning I will be doing after my surgery and will my DH be there for me when I am falling apart or in pain?  It is theraputic to me to just get my thoughts out and put somewhere.

I can not believe that I have to wait six weeks to have surgery.  Hopefully it goes fast!!!!!
