Mondays Roll Call

Hi there guys, How is everyone? I hope everyone is well and enjoying life. I am wonder are you guys looking at the board. I kind of feel alone. Let me know about your weight loss? Are you progressing with your loss or stabililzing? How you are feeling? Anything else you want to say. Any summer plans? I am stable in my weight loss. I am feeling wonderful I want to just say there are no regrets here with my WLS at all. I am going to Philly this year in July. In August I will be going to Florida to see a good friend. See you guys. Lorraine

Hi Lorraine, I have been working hard and very busy. I have to have some surgery on my right shoulder. I have calcium deposits, a torn tendon, a torn ligament and what looks like, or at least the doctor thinks they are, bone cysts that must be removed. I have to see a specialist on the 22nd of July and he will determine my course. I start my classes in August for my BS in accounting and finance. My oldest grandson is coming for a two week visit starting Saturday. So you can see I've been busy. My weight was up, my own fault. But I am working on it. I have two protein shakes a day, fruit, and a light lunch and supper. I hope to get the 10lbs I gained off by next month. The end of the month, that is. It's been so blisteringly hot, here, upper 90's, it's too hot to go walking. I know, no excuses for not exercising. Between the heat, Vicodin for pain and the pain itself, I don't feel much like doing anything when I go home. But I know I should. Maybe while my grandson is here, I can get more exercise, playing with him. I haven't seen him for two years, and am looking forward to spending some time with him. JUst wish I could take some time off, but with upcoming surgery, I can't. So I will just make do with what time I can. Nona

Hi guys. Thanks for answering me. I know some of you are still here. I know its summer and with our new bodies and our new found energy we are busy. But......Keep posting when you can. Good Luck Nona on your upcoming surgery. I hope all goes well. Lorraine

Hi Lorraine! Sorry it is Tuesday and I didn't get a chance to get on the comp yesterday. I feel alone a lot lately, but not just because of this board. My 16 year old twins are much more social then they used to be, which I encourage, but they are a joy I miss terribly. They are good natured and fun and GOOD! My second oldest daughter moved out in May with her daughter. I talk to her on the phone every day, but I miss them both so much. They come over on Fridays. My husband is a good man, but he has always tended to have a separate life from me. His 2 best friends are still single (they are older then he is and he is 56) so he goes out with them a lot. They don't drink or anything... they usually go fishing or out to eat or watch a movie or something like that. My best friend has 7 children and is a full time visiting nurse. It's hard to even catch her on the phone. I am having a birthday party for my husband on Sunday. I am one of those people who get nervous, as I am basically very timid and shy. I am talking too much, AGAIN! Love you all, Allison

Allison, Hi there, I am glad to hear from you. You are not talking too much. I am here to listen. My daughter moved out in March and I feel a bit down in the dumps. She left and it was under no speaking terms. This was her issues. I wanted her to move. She is going to be 29 and it was time. I feel lonely but I have given her wings to fly.. Don't ever think you talk to much. Good hearing from you.....((((((((((HUGs)))))))))))))) & Lorraine
