Wow! It isn't even Wednesday and you are all doing so great! It is awesome - and SO encouraging to read all of your posts! I'm jealous - I hate waiting so long for surgery.......ah such is life! You should all be so proud!!!

It is so great to hear that so many of us are doing so well!!!

MoOrless...I have "geneticly" high cholesterol too. Since my surgery my cholesterol level has gone way down. One of the things that my doc said to make sure I always do is to read labels! I was amazed at how high the fat content was in so many foods I thought were good for me. He says to read the label before you even choose a food. Worth a try.

P'nut...i'm about 30 seconds from meltdown. I went to my primary care physician today and got an anti-depressent perscription. I figured when I verbally assaulted the elderly lady in Rite Aid the other day it was time to get my stress/emotion/anxiety under control. Hubby is doing good. He has come to terms with the chemo and isn't dreading it as much as he was last week. We are taking life day by day right now. I quit my property managment job and am going back to waiting tables 2-3 nights week. We will have to see how that goes.

Skye - getting the antidepressants was a very smart thing to do. The emotional strain on you must be tremendous and they will help see you through. I think about you and your hubby every day. You guys will make it through this... I know you will. *hugs*

Thanks guys for the cheers on the weightloss. It really makes me feel all good inside.

Skye - thanks for the input on the cholsterol - that's a good point. I always read for the sodium on labels - but for fat I always read the 'bad' fat - I will continue to read labels carefully that's for sure. My doctor hasn't said much about what I am eating or correcting it - overall I am doing really well with food at this point (if only I had this figured out many pounds ago!) but he did say that my inability to exercise may be my biggest factor - hence the lapband - thanks for sharing Skye and as P'Nut said - hang in there girl. I actually take an anti-depressant for my pain level - they DO help. Good decision I think on your part-to take care of YOU.

Hey guys! I'm a little slow getting to the April board, but here I am!

I'm still teetering between 246 and 249 and I'm 16 days from my first fill!! Thank God! My appetite has come back with a vengence!

So what has everyone else done to battle the time change blues? I usually exercise in the morning around 5:45 before class, but I haven't even been able to get out of bed until an hour after that since the change.

I need my butt kicked, I know!

Hope everyone is having a great week!!

Kristin - I know what you mean about the time change! It is kicking my butt too this week...barely get out of bed, need a nap every single day and then of course I can't fall asleep until late. Then it starts the crazy cycle all over again. Can't wait until my body adjusts! So hang in there - try to exercise at 6am - give yourself that extra 15 minutes in bed until you adjust to the time change. You might exercise less - but it's better than nothing at all.
