Good Tuesday Morning Cali

Good Morning California!!

It's beginning to warm up here in so cal, I can't wait to get out in the sun this summer. I also need a new swimsuit for the summer, that should be an interesting shopping trip....

I just wanted to take a random moment to show my appreciation to the OH community. I have two friends who are preparing to have surgery before the end of this year.  I've referred them both here to the boards and they have both found it to be a great resource (even though they are lurkers) 

So just know that sharing your stories/sucess/struggles/experiences on this board is reaching so many more people than you realize....there is an army of lurkers out there who are taking in every word and are getting encouragement from you!!

Make it a great day, Cali!!!

Good Morning Cali, I was supposed to have  ran this morning, but my body said Heck No.  So, because I am busy this evening (taking a basic bicycle maintainance class at REI), I have to run at lunch time.  I have never ran downtown before.  I work on a steep hill , so my run will be very interesting.  Wish me luck. Everyone have a great day. Kim

Good morning Cali Crew! Today finds me heading out to San Diego in a little while for my post op appointment with Dr. Zorn. I am so excited to see how much weight I have lost. The last time I weighed myself was friday (I'm getting better at NOT weighing myself everyday...lol), I was down 18.5 lbs. Can't wait to see what it is today. Hope everyone has a great day and I will post an upsate when I get home this evening. =)

Good Morning Janine and Calif Friends!  Thanks for the love and support once again!  Geeze......what's going on with this body of mine?  Everytime I turn around it seems they are finding something!  lol Who needs a gall bladder any how right?  I'm just in training for my WLS!    Any way I am doing a bit better today, still in pain so I'm taking it slow.......  One of my older sister's is coming over today to help me wash my hair, I can't stand it like this!  Feels Yucky!  Anyway, I hope you all have a great, great day! Love, Jeni

Awww, I took a day off.  My ex bosses retirement party is today and I really didn't want to miss it.  Man, did it feel good to sleep in some.  Now I know why it is so hard to get awake in the morning for work.  I am still very comfortable with the 5 years off I had.  This is going to take a bit more time to get used to.  No one at work has noticed that I will be there boss as yet.  Not even the girl I was there to evaluate yesterday, as she actually spent too much time on personal calls and texting.  Other than that she is a good worker, fast and accurate.  Then about 3 she started to poop out and was yawning over and over, didn't make those patients feel to comfortable.  We shall see.  I will be finished with her evaluation on Friday.  By the way, is it FRIDAY YET???   I am missing my friends on here alot.  Too much to do, and I am one very pooped puppy when I get home.  The worst thing that is making me so tired is my back.  It's gotten worse from sitting all day long, I walk out of work hunched over it hurts so bad.  I go to bed at 6 or 6:30 to get the relief.  Of course after it's done being in spasms I can relax a little.  Oh the trials of being old with a bad back.   Ok lots of complaining going on here, now it's off to have some fun and see alot of old work friends and good friends.  Some have not seen me for a long time, this should be FUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Love to all, and have a great day. Diane

Howdy folks! Just stopping in to say a quick hello and send out a little love to all of you!

I am feeling pretty good today, actually thinking about heading back to work next week, we need the money and I am feeling pretty good. We will see, I can let them know as late as Thursday so I will wait until then to decide for sure.

No pain today! No soreness, no incision pain, no gas pain, I cannot believe it! I am contemplating whether or not to weigh for WWW tomorrow. It will be exactly one week, and while I REALLY want to get on that scale my head says it might be wise to wait another week. Hmmm...dunno yet.

Anywho, the dogs are causing some manner of ruckus in the other room, so I better go poke my head around the corner and see what they are up to, it is also time for more vitamins!

I hope everyone has a great Tuesday!

P.S. I just posted with more info for the Craig Park event!

Good morning California!  The sun has finally peeked through this morning and it's kinda nice.  I'm one of those people who loves Fall and Winter, so the cool weather hasn't bothered me too much, but a little warmth is in order I think..   I have an appointment with Curves today that I'm really looking forward to.   I need to start moving towards getting my strength back.  I really want to run again someday. Janine:  Thank you for taking the time to name individuals and comment on what's going on in their lives.  It helps me to keep up on everyone and I love reading your posts. Have a great day today California!

Good Tuesday Morning Janine & The Beautiful Cali Crew(Hugs!) I got the JITTERS from all the dang coffee I'm drinking in order to stay awake and read.  I gotta run!  I think I will study at the Pier today, at least that way I can get in a 4 1/2  mile run. Have a TERRIFIC TUESDAY everyone!

Good morning Janine and Cali crew! It's actually almost afternoon now!  Janine I must admit that I probably get more sleep than you, sorry! I am up late, but sleep late too. I usually get 6-8 hours a night. I'm having to get up early to take Tara to school now, but today I went back to bed afterwards! shhhhh, don't tell anyone!!! I hope your ceramics survived the kiln! You must be the kids favorite teacher!!! I know you would be mine!!!  I hope everyone has/had a great day today!!!   biggest hugs, Becky

GOOD MORNING JANINE AND THE REST OF MY FRIENDS

WELL I REALLY FELT BAD THAT I FORGOT JENI ALL ALONG IN THE HOSPITAL. THE SWEETHEART CALLED ME AT HOME AND TOLD ME NOT TO FEEL BAD. WHAT A LADY SHE IS. I SURE WISH I DIDN'T LIVE SO FAR AWAY FROM EVERYONE. AND OF COUSE YESTERDAY WAS EVEN WORSE THEN MOTHERS DAY. OH I HATE BORDERS.GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

PLUS I AM BACK TO NOT FEELING WELL AGAIN. SO I'M NOT SURE IF THIS $100 OUT OF POCKET MEDS ARE DOING ANY GOOD. I HAVE DRANK CRYSTAL LIGHT FOR ALMOST 2 1/2 YEARS NOW. AND NOW WHEN I HAVE A BOWL MOVMENT IT SHOWS UP IN MY STOOLS... THEY THINK.THE GASTRO CALLS IT RAPID TRANSFER... WELL WHY HASN'T IT SHOWN UP BEFORE?    SO I AM DOING ALL THAT FUN CULTER CRAP... SORRY ABOUT THE TMI.

I THINK I AM GIVING UP DR.S INTIRELY

JUST NOT FEELING UP TO SNUFF AND THEN I FIND OUT THAT MY SURGEONS OFFICE'S CUSTOMER SERVICE IS GOING DOWN THE TUBES.... OH BOY. I HATE GOING TO THE SURGONS OFFICE ANYWAY BUT TO WAIT 2 TO 3 HOURS I CAN'T DO THAT. YOU KNOW GOOD OLD AGORAGPHOBIA.. AND I AM 45 MINS TO AN HOUR AWAY. AND IT'S FREEWAY. I HATE THE FREEWAY.

AT THIS POINT IN TIME I HATE LIFE. I CAN'T EVEN GET IN TOUCH WITH THE DR. TO LET HIM KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON. AND THAT THE STOMA IS ENLARGED...I GIVE UP.

HEY SORRY I GUESS I AM HAVING A PITTY PARTY FOR MY SELF... THAT'S WHAT THE DR.S WOULD SAY ANYWAY.

HAVE A BEAUTIFUL DAY. I DON'T EVEN FEEL LIKE GARDNEING TODAY.

LOVE YA ALL
