Hi gang! I'm 10 days post op. I must admit out loud to you all that I want to look good in clothes again. It's not my only objective, but...well. So yesterday I got the results of some of the testing docs do after our surgeries, etc. I have stage 3 kidney disease and damn if my numbers aren't getting better! This news, these numbers opposed to scale numbers, have given me more hope for a happy life then I imagined I would ever have. I come from healthy stock, and most of my life my cholesterol, bp and all of the health numbers were good, actually better than good- low. I just took this for granted so imagine my dismay the first time these numbers started to rise. I didn't pay attention until my doc said the horrible words, "stage 3 kidney disease" From this point, I just figured I could only stop the progress of many of my health issues but never return to a place where I could mark, "health-good" on fitness surveys. I have this little ray of light on my heart that says, "sister you can repair the damage you've done to your dear body to the extent you can mark "good" on those surveys. So yee-haw! thank you God for your ever present care and concern for little ol' me. Blessings guys! Nancy K.

Hi guys! I'm 4 weeks out and have lost 19 lbs! I'm thrilled with my progress, and it's funny because I can't even imagine how hard it would be to eat more than 700 or so calories per day. I've gone out a few times with family or friends for dinner and am not having trouble either not eating or eating plain food. I know it's easier at first...tends to be the long haul where things get tricky...Good luck all and God Bless! Nancy K.
