Sorry it has taken so long for me to get back to your original post since we had surgery on the same day. I'm feeling good, most days. Still more tired than usual, but I'm sure that's due to the fact that I'm not eating as much and ingesting the calories that I was pre-surgery. My weight loss was good initially, I was down 19 pounds at my one week post op appointment, but I think I have only lost a few more since that time. It has slowed down drastically. I'm on regular food now, but not eating anywhere near 1000 calories. I really need to get myself on a better routine and start tracking my food & Water intake. My kids are off for the summer now, so it's hard to get in exercise time, but I'm trying. When they get back to school, I plan on working out as soon as I drop them off at school so I can get that done and over with in the beginning of the day. I don't see my doctor again until the beginning of August which will be more like 6 weeks out as opposed to 1 month out, but that it because I'm going up north for a week and then my son has hockey camp the following week, which will entail me running him to the rink monday through friday of that week, so I had to put it off a little later than the one month.

As for meeting and building a friendship, I'm all for it, even if we met for lunch or coffee or something once a month to catch up and see how each other are doing. Right now, I could meet in the evenings for coffee or something, but once school starts, my days will be free and I will have more time to meet for lunch or something else during the day. Let me know.

So, how are you doing???

That sounds great! Wow we are in the same boat far as weight loss I am 20 lbs down I am also losing slowly now I try to eat 800 calories or fewer a day. I signed up along with my family at the YMCA Downtown last week I have been swimming and doing a little cardio for 15 minutes my energy is low due to low Iron. Meeting up sounds great when you get the chance there's no pressures hun I have 5 kids of my own so I know how that is.well keep in touch we can talk more about our weight loss and keep one another motivated keep up the good work.
