Guest guest Posted June 14, 2001 Report Share Posted June 14, 2001 Kim-- Congrats on the 15 pounds...that is a wonderful achievement and it sounds like everyone, including yourself, was pleased. I'm so happy you were able to successfully quit smoking as well. I've heard that for every cigarette that one smokes, it shortens their life by 7 minutes. Think of all those minutes you are no longer subtracting from your life! Yay for you, --a Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted June 14, 2001 Report Share Posted June 14, 2001 Kim in Methuen, I understand completely the frustration and then happiness about the 15 lb. loss. You are on the right track. I understand the emotional partof it, too. In my case, I had gained 11 lbs. from August to December before my Jan. surgery. Dr. Thayer was not happy about that. I got a taste of what it would be like to deal with him after surgery if I did not produce downward numbers on the " Monster " (good name for all of them). Now, they have such a large number of people waiting for the surgery, they are being stricter about this weight gain before surgery and require an appointment or two prior to the big day. Last year in December, it was my decision to see Dr. Thayer in December because I had a lot of questions in my mind going back to my August appointment. Anyway, Great Work!! You beat the " Monster " . Sally 15 pounds... > Hi gang! I had a appointment with Dr. Reines today and I wanted to let > you all know how it went.
