Busy

So went to my WLS (weight loss surgery) support group last night. I've
been going to same one for 20 months with the doctor who did my
surgery. Powerful meeting. First half is new patients getting info and
second half is patients who had the surgeries. And since my doc does
all 4 then you have all different folks. The patients who already had
surgery were there last night at first part so patients looking into
it could ask questions. I know I found it really useful so I was there
one week after operation feeling pretty good and 18 pounds down.
(today it's 21.4 pounds down one week and one day out).

As I'm nursing it's why losing quicker he said. Yeah! Finally lose
weight nursing instead of weight gain I normally get when
breastfeeding. (the extra 3000 calories I shoved into my gob with
oldest kid had nothing to do with it ;). Seriously though that insane
hunger and this sudden desire to eat all of the worlds supply of
chocolate is gone. I don't have a sweet tooth (and that's not a no I
don't eat sweets and candy wrappers in my pockets). Bread is my
trigger. If I could make a sandwich of it I would and did.

Anyway powerful meeting of why looking or did get surgery. Good and
negative feedback from others. It was a good meeting

Yesterday also ran around doing physical therapy at crack of dawn for
my poor pelvis, then went to Mums support group meeting( new mums at
hospital). Back home and brought the gang for lunch for BBQ at
restaurant as hubbie home working so he loves there. Then brought Mum
to stores for a new double stroller (a sit n stand) and payless for
her (they now recognize her) and dropped her off to curves. Got my
protein and my liquids in throughout all that but pelvis a bit ouchy
which I understand

Today is bring your kids to work day and earth day. I'll probably get
some trees :) we hit hubbies work later

I'm now off to take wee one for walk around block
