Hi All,

I am very sorry about forgetting to do the thread yesterday! My DH is scheduled for surgery this morning (removing a portion of his colon) and it totally slipped my mind.

This is what I have so far with losses. Keep up the great work.

Kristen, we were banded one day apart and have experienced just about the same results! Our end goal is very close to each other too! Progress feels good doesn't it!

Hi All,

Thank you for all of your well wishes!

My DH surgery went well, but unfortunately he went into kidney failure. Luckily they were able to resolve it within 48 hours, but boy those were some scary hours. He is doing much better now and we hope for him to be discharged within the next few days.

I am trying to keep in line, but I feel like I am taking the easy way out with food. I at least got in a 30 minute workout today which is the first since Thursday last week.

Let's hope things keep improving!

Take care of yourself and your husband Gilta! Our thoughts are with you!

Oh Gilta! You must have been terrified! Glad to hear he's doing better!

As far as what you're doing for yourself, just do what you can, when you can. But don't ignore yourself either! Not good for you or your DH!

AND even the easy way out with the food, I'm sure is no where NEAR what it was before surgery! Don't be too hard on yourself! Take care. Give my best to your DH. Both of you are in my prayers.

Brad it does feel good! Sometimes I see myself walking by in the mirror and wonder who that gal is! LOL! The best part is being able to be active again.
