Update on Rhonda Frieden!

Rhonda was Dr. Christophersen's 3rd laparascopic patient on January 3rd!!! I called and talked to her this morning and she is doing great, passed her leak test and hoping to go home tomorrow, if she doesn't get snowed in!!

I am pretty sure I met Rhonda......Wish her the best and I am so glad she did well!!! Wishing her a super speedy recovery!!! I am going to be at the meeting the 19th....what about you?? Hope to see ya there! Take Care Jesi

HiJesi! It's sure been quiet on here LOL! Yes I do plan to make the meeting on the 19th...Thanks for the reminder, I'm the type of person, if I don't write it down, I forget C-You there!!! Debi

Hi Debi, Thanks for the update! I can't believe the difference in lap vs. open surgery! I'm so glad to hear that Rhonda's lap went well. I bet that she is up and around at home by now. Tell her congrats and welcome to the losing side! Also, I'm just a few miles from her if she needs anything. God bless, Andrea P.S. How are you doing?

I know what you mean! I was so fortunate to come into this when he was able to do it lap! If you haven't met Rhonda, I will be sure to introduce her to you at the next meeting on the 19th...hopefully we won't have any snow or ice storms...cuz this ol' girl don't drive in them lol! Which school in Davenport do you teach at? Somehow my darn pop-up stopper that I didn't think was working that well has gotten deleted...now I'm finding just how good it was working lol these pop ups are driving me mad. Any way, I'm doing just grand, doing alot better getting my protein drinks in and still working on my water. I have to drink it with fresh lemon in it, or I can't stand the taste of my ice cubes!? I was doing the bottled water, but I drink it so slow that it gets warm on me, so I went back to drinking it with ice. I am sitting her right now drinking a whey french vanilla with about a 1/2 a banana and 5 unsweetened frozen strawberries, and it is pretty darn good, the second one that I have made this way. I might add a little splenda next time and see if that helps...its kind of bland. but atleast I can tolerate the protein part, completely masks it...before I made it like this, this is the one I said tasted like a rubber glove. What kinds of things do you eat, to get your protein through food, in between your prot. drinks?? If my scales are correct, and I think I've got them calibrated with the docs, I have to add 5 lbs. to my scales weight to match the drs. I have lost since I last weighed about a week ago 29lbs. I think I'm kind of slow, but not sure. And I was having trouble getting my protein in so the loss should go ok!! Can't wait to see everyone at support meeting on the 29th!! Thanks to Jesi girl reminding me!! Take Care, Debi
