I'm sorry but going to a couple of parties and carrying things to help out shouldn't cause your incisions to break open and "leak" at almost 4 weeks out. This sounds like a low grade infection that's been there all along. Taking it easy wouldn't make a difference. There shouldn't be any leaking of anything, normally. Keep an eye on your temp, if it goes up, get medical attention, ok? Best of luck to you!

I get frustrated with the "bouncing of the scale" as well. I do feel like my head is starting to catch up with my body finally. It helps that my loved ones show me pictures of myself at 251 (YIKES)!! Go grab some old and new pictures...you will feel like a rockstar! One thing I tell myself everyday is...I have lost 52 pounds and have "kept it off" longer than I have kept off 10 pounds in the past. I honor my decision to do this as often as I can. We may never get to that PERFECT scale weight but honestly.....what is perfect? Today...I vow to feel perfect right now!

No good deed goes unpunished. (hope I got that right) Take care of yourself today.

Personally, I think that all points of view should be tolerated. How did we ever get out of the dark ages without someone standing up and voicing an unpopular opposing view? Many we're burned at the stake, stoned or even beheaded for going against the norm. 521 years ago, we still thought the earth was flat! 70 years ago people died from infections because we didn't have antibiotics! Treating our condition of obesity is one of the fastest evolving fields in medicine today. I'm all ears.

I'm happy. I'm healthier. No worries. tmf

That is a great way of looking at things

You sound like a nice person. There should be more like you.

​Congratulations on your weight loss. I feel sad you're not happy. Maybe call your doctor's office and they have some one to talk to about this. There are obesity therapists. When my son was around 10ish we took him to one because he has been over weight almost his whole life (he is 34 now) and he is finally doing something on his own. Good luck and stay in touch with all of us.

I love your spirit!!! Best of luck to you! You are going to LOVE the new you:)

Woo hoo. See you on the losing side.
