Topic: RE: Thurs Ethel wants to know
Joan, I don't participate by putting my intake here but do read everyone elses to get ideas on what to eat and watch your calarie/protein/carb intake to see how it measures up to mine. Please continue to post it, all of you who do this. I do keep track of mine on fit day, but work full time and just don't post it here. Thanks for doing this as it does help me by seeing what others do at this stage of the game. Julia

Phlebitis is an inflammation in the veins. It makes my leg sore and I have to keep it elevated.
I've had vericose veins for about 10 years. Funny thing is I was really heavy through both of my pregnancies (and after) giving birth to two really large babies (10 lbs 4 oz and 9 lbs 12 oz) and I never got vericose veins then. Ten years ago I lost 100 lbs (and gained it back ugh) by exercising like a feind. I was lifting heavy weights for 2 hrs three times a week. That's when I got vericose veins. Having vericose veins makes youo more likely to get phlebitis. The surgery isn't for the phlebitis it's for the broken valve in my vein and to do something about the horrid veins.
My son is taking it very easy. So far he's not trying to over do it at all thankfully.
Thanks for all the well wishes.

Since no response from anyone for Wed's Ethel I suppose everyone where the weather is warm, is out and about walking, gardening and other outdoors things. Not a problem...if this is too stressful you you to participate or if you feel at this stage in our WLS journey you no longer need this, please let me know. I will continue to do it for myself on fitday and encourage each of you to continue counting that as well as we know we all can let old habits creep in.

Lizzie- if I was closer I would make you some chicken soup!
I'm not sure what phlebitis is but it sounds like it hurts, did you have bad veins before the surgery? (that might be a duh question but ???)
It is great that your son is doing better, just make sure he takes it easy my cousin had mono when we were younger and she always overdid it and was sick for a long time because of it.
Keep that leg up and have fun vegging with your son.
Hugs,
Jenni

That is good news that your son is better, but bad new that you have phlebitis. I sure hope that you get well soon. You remember to take care of yourself, too. If you get down who will take care of the husband and sons? 
Just kidding.
You take care and keep us posted.
Joan, I sure hope you get your knee where it isnt bothering you too.
Love and hugs from Missouri
