Update on Moi!

Howdy folks, I have a date with hottie surgeon on Tuesday to check the blood levels and of course to confess on the small gain I have on the scale. I wish I could kick it off before I got there....I hate the idea that its there and I have to share it with him. I am missing my exercise routine big time. I try and do other things around the house but its just not as stimulating and good as my gym work out. Grammy is still with me. Some days are better than others. Its a tough road to see someone decline in health. I wonder when I was declining why someone or even myself didn't do something. I was definitely declining in health before surgery. I feel so much better these days even with the gain. I can do things and I have a better appreciation of things! My moods are better not perfect my no means I still have my dark moments. Tim is still helping me out with Gram and that is good. I could never do this alone. I appreciate all the calls and emails! It helps keeping me focused on me even if its a brief time. Its funny for two years I got alot of me time. It was very nice. Now that its cut in half its hard to deal with. Its like a withdrawal or like when the weight stop coming off feeling. But I made it through that time I can overcome this too! I may have an interview for a job that I believe I would really like to do. I am waiting for a date from the guy! It would be something I would enjoy...I do miss project work. Well hope all of you are doing well and if you aren't get on here and ask for help. We have plenty of people here willing to lend a hand. Take care. Debbie

Hey Debbie, I have been MIA and understand your struggle with gaining weight. I have been struggling with poor eating habits and sugar consumption and although I haven't gained any weight I see myself on a downhill spiral. I haven't been to the gym for two months because I have been having problems with low iron and I feel so wiped out most of the time so I just have not had the energy or desire to go but I do miss the routine. To top it all off the old gallbladder has to go and I am having surgery tomorrow at 4:30 pm. I wanted so badly to come to this Thursday's meeting but will not be able to drive so I am really bummed out because I wanted to get there to just be encouraged because you guys keep me grounded because we share a common bond from our WLS and issues with food. If I can get a ride I will be out so that I can receive that encouragement I so badly need. You have a great support system in Tim and I wish my husband were more supportive of me. You also are blessed to have the opportunity to care for your grandmother. My grandmother passed away ovr ten years ago and I miss her dearly. You keep it so real and you are an encouragement to all *****ad your posts. Take care until we see each other again. Prycey Lady RNY 2/2/05

Carol, As long as we continue to struggle we will find a way to get it right! Its when we say to hell with it and give in that we lose ourselves. I want to wish you luck with that gallbladder removal! They are doing it lap right? You have to wait till 4:30 for surgery thats the pits. I would rather do it first AM....Is the gallbladder diseased from WLS. Hope to see you soon too! Debbie
