Topic: RE: Weekend Roll Call
Judy, Kids cleaning their rooms is always a struggle in our house too. I don't know how much they shortened my small intestine. That is part of what the test was for but the Dr. couldn't tell. It seems to me it would be in my old record. Since I had my surgery at Washington Hospital Center I think it should be easy for them to get the records. I have read alot of the revision post this weekend since I have been frozen all weekend ( forced to work doubles ). I am going to sign up for the class tomorrow. I will decide on the 8 or 12 week class when I talk with them. I personally beleave you never can learn to much. Hope you had a good weekend and got them kids to clean their rooms. See you lighter. Joanne

Hi Joanne,
Glad to hear your tests came back normal. Do you know how much your small intestine was shortened with your orginal surgery? It seems from reading a lot of posts that people have an easier time loosing weight the shorter the small intestine is. The lack of intestine would relate to the lack of absorbtion to increase the weight loss. Going to nutrition classes couldn't hurt either. I really enjoyed my pre-op classes.
Not doing too much this weekend. Trying to get the kids to clean their room.
Have a good weekend!
Judy

Topic: Weekend Roll Call
How is everyone doing this weekend? It seems like it has been so long since I have been on here. I have been so busy lately with work. I am working a double today and possible tomorrow. I really have not had much free time. Yesterday I was off but spent the day in D.C, getting my endocopy done. I do mean all day. I drove myself up . They wouldn't let me leave and Dr. Koch was ready to admit me. Luckily Debbie drove to D.C. and picked me up. We got home around 11:30 pm. It is a long story but I will not go to D.C. alone again. I don't think Debbie will let me go alone again either. I did ask her and my son to go with me and both said they were busy. My test came out normal . Dr. Koch said he was going to recommend to Dr. Fenelli to do a revision and shorten my small intestine, I'm not sure at this point if that is really what I want to do. I am looking into all options. I think I am going to sign up for either the 8 week course ( Fit 4 life ) or the 12 week program that Chistiana Care offers and start there. Has anyone been to this course or knows anything about them. Please let me know. All I know is I have to start somewhere and this looks like a good starting point to me. I hope all enjoys their weekend. Old Man Winter has diffenitely visited Lower Slower Delaware this week. See you lighter. Joanne

Topic: Retreat and a session with Spouses
OK, I need some feed back from my Delaware/PA buddies. I originally was planning to do a retreat (Friday, Saturday) in March, but do to lack of feedback and scheduling I may change the date.
Anyway that a side, I have the opportunity to have a person come in and do a session with us/spouses and using the marriage encounter guidelines for a retreat for both sides.
I am looking for dates in May/June, Please email me back, let me know if you are interested, if you would be interested in the spouse section, and what dates (weekend) you would be available in May and/or June.
If you have questions, contact me directly at [email protected] or 610-322-8282.
Thank you

Topic: RE: Last Meals ????
Hmmm... I like alfredo sauce once in awhile but can't do the noodles either. The last time I used (light) alfredo sauce was in a seafood lasagna. OMG it was a treat! I can't even manage tomato sauce so a light alfredo once in awhile isn't too bad.
Topic: RE: Last Meals ????
omg... i miss Capriotti's!!! We moved from Rehoboth Beach to Phoenix and there's still not one that's better here in the desert! I can't manage the roll much either....still makes me gag after 10 years!!!!
My last meal before RNY was a seafood platter from that Millsboro Diner and I was so busy getting everything ready for my upcoming surgery that I didn't really enjoy it. No special diets were given.... just to chew well and eat slow.
I'm still struggling with chronic pain, nausea, obstructions, adhesions and all that ucky stuff. I'm also getting ready to start back with the iron infusion therapy. I am in the process of having the ERNY done here in Phoenix and hoping they can repair all the damage inside.
I'll pop back in and let y'all know how it's going. My surgery anniversary was 12/14/98.
