Saturday Roll Call

 Good Morning Dear Friends!!!!!
I am taking a bus trip today. Its kinda a short one up off of 80 to Geneseo! About 90 miles or so. Should be headed back home arounr 3, leaving here shortly. Taking pedometer so I can explore the area by foot. Good way to get in a walk and see the town too. Since its a small town (Does have Walmart though) I should be safe.

Christine glad you visit with your friends is going great. You can do these things with breeze and I can not even get the family together once a yr! 

Christina glad you at least are started down the road to feeling a bit better, that b-12 shot should help spme, when do you get another? Praying that they get ya fixed right up here soon!

Lucy sorry something you ate did not agree with you! Yuck thats never fun, and it does make for some late nights don't it!?

Since Dr R took out the 1cc of the fill, I do feel much better. I can eat and its still only 1/2 cup when Julie took what I had tried to eat before and said I was not getting in enough. I can now and I hope I get a little more happy instead of cranky!  When everything I ate caused me pain or missery I was so cranky. 

Well gotta run have a great sunny day everyone. Christina sit out side a little sometimes the sun can give ya a little lift.

Good Morning IL. Yeah it's the weekend!!! Well I got on my scale today and I am down 17.8lbs since starting the liquid diet. I have to tell you it's been pretty sucky but I am happy to say that my weight is moving and I sure hope the dr will be happy. Surgery day Tuesday so I actually have to leave for the hospital in 66.5 hrs....LOL

Today is World Card Making Day so can you guess what I am doing today to keep busy & get my mind of food? Yep, I am making Christmas cards for the Troops actually then I will donate them. Sounds like a perfect way to spend my Saturday!!!

Have a great day!

Annie, you are doing great. You will be joining us on the losers bench in just a short time.

Thanks everyone for the warm wishes.. I will get thru this one day at a time.  I'm just glad we are finally moving in the right direction.  Once the Vit D and thyroid tests come back next week,  Dr R will then decide what else I need to do/take.  Right now he wants me to have the B12 shot once in Oct & once in Nov then blood work in December to see where the levels are.

I have to say, this is the only complication I've had since surgery over 2 years ago so all you newbies, don't freak out.  Just make sure you get your lab work done when your doc says so and listen to your body.

Hello all,

Not doing much today, just relaxing. I went to my pre-op support group this morning. It was pretty good. I am finally going to join the aquatics program at my local park district. I went there after support group to check it out and it looks very nice. The hours are perfect for me. I am an early bird and they open for lap swims at 5:30am. I am going to attempt to go 3 times a week for now and see how that goes.

Hope everyones has a great Saturday.

Maria, Swimming is a great thing to do. 5:30 am would be a little early for me to be getting in the water, but if it works for you, great. When is your surgery?

I don't have approval yet from the insurance, therefore no date yet. The paperwork was sent to them 1 1/2 weeks ago. I know I need to start some physical activity anyway, So I figured I might as well start now with swimming. Maybe this will begin to tell my body that I am using my muscle and once I do have surgery, maybe I wont lose as much muscle. I also have a health club membership that I have been faithfully paying, but not as faithfully going, that I will start again after I have surgery. I just think that right now, swimming may work out better for me.

Hello... I thought I would check in since I was here... We are going to Royal Oaks Apple Orchard this afternoon... It is a Christian Apple Orchard in Harvard... The kids are excited to go, So am I... I have my weekly phone calls with Serenity on Saturday mornings... Which are always very exciting! She is doing very well! I LOVE this time of year it is my FAVORITE! I hope everyone enjoys the weekend! Jenn

I am weird and glad to meet you as I have not noticed your post before.  Glad to see you will be having fun.  My day of rest is going well.   I look forward to seeing those apples in Heaven.  Completely too relaxed perhaps as I was trying to also figure out why one would to be known as the King Skid.  This is my weird mind processing things slowly on a very relaxed day so ultimately seeing how beautiful this all is.
