Holy cow woman. 47 pounds, that is awesome. That is wild. I went to the hospital early one morning with pain in my left side. After a CT with contrast, they just said it was an intestinal infection. It hurt like hell though. I was in for 2 nights NPO uuggggghhh. I demanded to leave the third night and they gave me take home antibiotics and pain meds. I for sure thought something was going to come out. They said I was too young for diverticulitis/diverticulosis. Good Luck with your surgery! Hope your recovery goes smooth. When you get a chance, let me know what symptoms you were having. I still think my issues aren't over.

Would Vegas ever be a possibility? Just because my ex lives there and my son could stay with dad while I go and have the time of my life with you beautiful people.

How are you doing? I am one of the slowest losers ever, but I am not killing myself and I am certainly not depriving myself. I always choose to hang out with my son over going to the gym any day. But if you would have told me that I could lose 30 pounds without spending hours in a gym, I would have thought you were crazy. I just eat half of what I used to. Now that I have hovered over the same number on the scale for a few weeks now, I will definitely have to step it up. Enjoy Christmas and everything it has to offer. Come Jan 2nd, put your game face on and get moving. That is my plan anyway. Just an FYI, Oprah has the first 2 weeks of her "Live your Best Life" shows starting Jan 5th I think. Where she comes to terms with weight, body image etc. Looks very motivating. Talk about motivating..........Have you looked at your before and after pic? You are amazing!!! Good Luck.

You look amazing Bel. What an inspiration you are. Thank you. I have seasonal depression. My mother passed away on the 3rd of Jan, when I was a teen. The holidays just aren't the same. It is hard not to hate this time of year. But I pray that your mum beats the cancer. I am sure you give her unbelieveable strength. Again, thank you for the motivation.

Let me figure out the finances for the month. I would love to give a donation. How are you feeling? Is the rash gone? By the way, what is your "my Space" ID. Mine is Keywestgirl in Saint Louis MO (don't ask) LOL I used to be stationed in Key West Fl in the Navy for 7 years. It is my home away from home. My name should be the only one that pops up. Have a great week Wed. I will keep you and Eddie in my prayers.

Perhaps just what LOVE said. You may not be his soul mate, but that doesn't mean he doesn't love or adore you. I used to be in love with mine (bf) but now there are his kids and my own. Five years later, we are family. If I break up with him I will be affecting my son all over again. I did that once when his father (my husband) separated. He cheated and I don't tolerate that. Now I feel like he is just a room mate that owes me a lot of money (business related) hence the feeling of being stuck.

It sounds like my relationship. I am settling. I am stuck in a relationship that I am not happy in. Kinda scary though, when I think what it would be like dating all over again. I have serious trust issues. I pray to God this isn't what the dh meant.

Dr Wagner is courteous, reserved and has a very good bedside manner. The fee I believe isn't covered by insurance. I was self pay so I paid for it anyway. Being self pay it was 17,500 with lifetime fills. It was $1,000 dollars cheaper if I had it at the outpatient surgery center in Webster. The center is very nice, clean and awesome staff. If I would go to the hospital, they said I would have to have an endoscopy, so I was like "that's okay". Surgery center is just fine. It was totally uneventful. He gave postop anti nausea meds and a patch. Never threw up, which I had nausea to previous surgeries related to anes. Had a nasal narcotic spray for pain, and held a pillow to the abs if you have to cough. Back to work 3rd day postop. I had my first fill and Dr. Wagner did it personally which made me at ease. Piece of cake, no pain. And he used a long needle. He is awesome. Good Luck.....

Wow Coach Cher, you look fantastic. I haven't been on here for a few weeks, or maybe I have and just haven't come across your posts. What a great pic. You are quite the motivator. That's for sure.
