Hey everyone. I hope all is still going well. I'm sorry I've been absent. My sister passed away last week on the 7th. She just turned 45. Needless to say I've been taking it pretty hard. Definitely puts things in a more clear perspective for me as far as mortality goes. She was getting so much better. God takes the best. I have a follow up appointment tomorrow. Things will get easier I know. Going to start seeing a therapist next month.

Hey you all...how's everyone doing? Are we surviving the cold icky weather????

Absolutely!!! I still struggle with that daily. But my worst time was 1 month out.

That's so great. I'm so excited for this stage in the game. Mindi in Waterloo Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Hey there. I'm so glad you all are well. I am too. I do still have that full feeling and it makes me sad sometimes because Water even does it to me. And food is such a chore. I just don't want to eat. Life really is getting easier. I can bend and twist and bring my foot to my head if I wanted. I haven't done that in years. I'm sure it's not pretty but it can happen. Pam we have a meeting Monday night at 6pm. Are you going? Mindi in Waterloo Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

How is everyone doing this week? Mindi in Waterloo Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

thats so great. Welcome to the party girl!!!I lived in Des Moines on the east side a little over a year ago. Mindi in Waterloo Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Surgeon's office got me in right away. They said it was a disposable stitch my body was rejecting & causing infection. She pulled the stitch and told me to clean it really good and it will heal really fast now. Thank the lord. I thought I did something wrong. They said I should get back on track now that I'm home. And since my scale was broken I couldn't weigh so now they said I lost 15 lbs since I was there 2 weeks ago. I knew my stinkin scale was lying and broken. I don't feel like I lost any lbs though. But my broken scale is what kept telling me I wasn't losing. I bought a new better one today. Mindi in Waterloo Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Hey all...I'm really struggling. I was gone for 8 days...I barely ate or drank. I know I'm not getting my Water in. I feel lousy and my legs are swelling again. One of my incisions has gotten infected and is not healing. I'm just a mess. I haven't lost any weight for 2 weeks I think. Which is ok but my abdomen is bloated out like it was before surgery. Why can't I ever win. Mindi in Waterloo Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
