Stay Focused you can do it!!! They should be helping u not making it difficult for you!

Oh, ladies, I am so glad to hear someone else say what I have been thinking. Nursing classes start up for me next Monday and I will be 13 days post op. I have so much to study but can't seem to concentrate and I am afraid of failing. I hate this part of my life but I want to be a nurse so bad. Good luck ladies and prayers for you both

I agree!

So true...I have lost 26 lbs. in the past 14 days since surgery...my feet and ankles (yes I did say ankles not Kankles) my feet fit in my shoes, and my knees feel way better. I climbed 3 flights of stairs yesterday instead of using the elevator.....wow unbelievable! I use perkecet 7.5/500 for pain of the knees in the past....maybe you could get a script from your local doc....until surgery is over.

i know EXACTLY what you mean - i just started shopping in the regular section myself and every time i walk in a store now i have to stop myself from going straight to plus size. No one would undrestand that but us - but you are right it is a SURREAL experience - hard to get our minds wrapped around the new reality. i was at a thrift store yesterday and just for the heck of it bought 2 pairs of size 10 jeans (i started at 276 am now 169.6) - thinking i would just lose more weight and eventually get in them. I brought them home and both pair fit - a little snug but totally wear-able. I could not believe it. BEST OF LUCK TO US ALL ON OUR JOURNEYS!!!!

Good work and keep going .. u will be soon in twoderland then u can work towards onederland

I hope every thing works out for you. The only comorbidities I have are back pain and joint pain. I have to cease advil which is the only thing that helps those pains and cramps. Everything will be ok!!

I an SO identify with you! I have always loved to shop and it has only gotten worse (better) since I have lost weight. I can't trust myself to go to a mall or store with clothing now, as I am always looking for something new to wear! My husband is APPALED that I love to shop so much and can't stop shopping. Tell me about the It Works Products. My home email is nota413@live.com Thanks! Kathy D (alias Helen the Cat)

So true. my favorite is "You can have excuses or you can have results but you can't have both."

Excellant encouragement for the start of the weekend. Thank you!
