Topic: RE: Who is cold like me?
I'm not as cold as I used to be. I also had surgery 7 weeks ago (PS) and maybe that's part of the reason. Also, my blood levels are normal and I am stable as far as my weight goes. Well...trying to lose more as I had a little bit of bounceback weight on.
Topic: So Happy to have visited...
I haven't been on the site in ages and have been recently stuggling. I am so happy I came back and read all of your posts and realized I am not alone in this struggle. I have gained about 10 pounds and feel it everyday. It is hard to stay motivated but I am committed to doing so. Started therapy last week...and step classes and just trying to keep my eating in line...(that's the hardest part). Anyway...I will be back and thanks for all your inspiration and support.

Allison, Thanks for the Happy Birthday wishes. I just picked out a nice birthday cake. No Ice Cream. I just can't have it. and that is what happens to me.I am going to enjoy my party. Please give your friend a big(((((((((HUG)))))))))))) and tell her that you are there for her. I also have a very sick friend too. If you can't drink I will have one for you OK? I can't drink like before but I can have 1 or 2.
Thanks again
Lorraine
Topic: RE: ((((((((((((Hugs Needed))))))))
hey! Happy Birthday Lorraine. I do wish I had more money, would solve some of my problems... I do love being healthy. My best friend blacked out and was in a horrible car wreck. She was unscathed, but she had to get a pacemaker for her heart. She has 7 children, the youngest is a year younger then my youngest. She is a visiting nurse and works around 12 hours a day. I think the work is too much and she knows it too. I have been talking to her the last couple days and she is just so depressed (her marriage isn't good either) I only said all that because you are so right about health... even mental health.
I rarely drink. I did a little bit on the cruise. When I do, I don't feel very well. =( I never was a big drinker, but I do miss being able to enjoy a strawberry daquiri.
Reguardless, here's to you and to the most wonderful birthday you have ever had (at least that is my wish for you)

Dear Lorraine,
For some reason I am not as cold. I get cold, but not noticeably as cold as before. It doesn't make sense to me.

Hi Lorraine,
I'm sure one of the reasons you are colder is because you have lost your "insulation" . Face it.....fat is warmer....
You know I don't live in a cold climate (well, it's in the high 50's this morning so I'm wearing jeans and a long sleeve sweater.) but I always carry a jacket with me when we go to a restaurant. They just never seem to adjust the airconditioning which stays on 24/7 here.
Having said that, I'm warmer in post op year 2 than I was in post op year 1. One way of looking at it.....you can save $$ on the AC electric bill....and have more $$ for shopping
Stay warm today.

Topic: RE: GB surgery scheduled....
Sorry to hear your having surgery, but hope it helps ya One quick question for ya.....Did you take URSO or rock salts or anything like that after surgery to help ward off stones?? I took them for 6ish months or so and haven't had any GB issues as of yet......but I am getting sick and a lot of pain in my abdomen area again and am going to the GI doc on the 3rd We will see I guess! How did you find out your GB was bad, or going bad?? Do you have visable stones? Again, good luck! Take Care jesi
