ok, so here i am out about a month and a half and i am down 38 pounds.  i thought i would have been down more than that at this point considering i had the rny!  everyone i have talked to says "it will just fall off".  well i dont feel like it is "falling off".  should i be happy with the 38 pounds since april 6th?  i try so hard to get all 64 oz of water in, but i am not always successful.  i think im doing pretty good at getting my protein in, though.  this is a really big struggle trying to get all of the things in that i need to.  water, food, vitamins, medicines, ugh.  i went to see my family dr the other day and told him that i was concerned about retaining fluid since my ankles are always swollen etc and wondered if that may be why im not loosing more than i have.  he says that i truly may not be getting in enough fluids since i "talk a lot at work"! he says that a person looses water by talking!  go figure!  who would have thunk that!?!  wow!!!  so, here i sit, OBSESSED with my scale and disappointed that i have not lost more than i have.  I am signing up for a gym membership through my employer.  i have my orientation for that on june 1st.  however, im not sure how many times a week i will be able to get there once i return to school (june 29th - 4 days a week).  so much on my plate and not sure how to juggle it all.  if anyone out there has got any ideas or suggestions for me, PLEASE......i welcome them! 
thanks!
