Tuesday Roll Call
Morning All!
It's been a while since I posted on this forum. I'm happy to stop by and say hello! I've been busy like everyone else. I've been attending support groups and going to follow up Dr. appointments and still trying to get this food thing down. I sometimes worry I'm not working this band the right way. I don't seem to have any restriction right now. I mean nothing seems to bother me and I can eat what the dietitian called a normal plate serving size. I should really stop letting these worrying thoughts in and just trust I'm doing ok. I feel good and that's the most important thing. I'm also out taking daily walks and that I'm really proud of! Wow, sometimes just typing these thoughts out can be therapeutic. Thanks for letting me ramble on here guys. I hope everyone has a fabulous day!!

Hi everybody! I haven't checked in for a while either but here goes... I find I'm obsessing about whether I'm actually going to lose all the weight eventhough I've been sticking to healthy food & have started to work out a bit. I've lost 35lbs so far but I'm so afraid the rest won't happen for me.
Doom & gloom and ALOT of insecurity is showing up. When I get a compliment about anything from my weight to my work, I hear myself say "-really?" as if I've completely lost hold of who I am. It's ridiculous. I wasn't so insecure before my RNY. Is this sudden onslaught of insecurity typical? Do I need to see a psych about this? I'm also finding it hard to stay focused on any one thing...
Yours truly,
Nina

Hi Everyone!
Not much new with me, I am still off work for another week.
I went to the new Kane Center office in Hoffman Estates yesterday, very nice and easy to get to. I will miss having them 15 minutes from me but it was time for them to get some new plush surroundings.
Today was a doctor visit with the Pulmonologist, and I was scolded a bit for not wearing my CPAP nightly. Left with a better understanding how the CPAP will help me heal and feel much better.
I am on a plateau of sorts or maybe body is resting, I have began using my treadmill daily and this will surely BUST the plateau. I have increased my muscle mass, and decreased body fat so overall I am pleased.
My drain is out, but the wound is having hard time healing. This kind of depresses me as I want to do more but at same time the pain makes me slow down.
Everyone have wonderful day and evening!!

Good Evening everyone!
What a gloomy, damp, day! Im glad we finally put out the Halloween decorations yesterday, otherwise Im not sure they would ever get done.
I went to the endocrinologist today for a diabetes recheck and he was pleased. I am now down 45 pounds!! My hgb A1C is 5.3 which he said is normal for a NON DIABETIC!! Hurray for me! He said to keep going down by 2 units on the insulin until I am off and then I should be off FOREVER! My vitamin D is a little low so he said to increase my Vit D to 2000IU every morning. Good for me! I dont have to see him for 3 months, I must have been a good girl.
We are all fighting colds/allergies here. Not sure which. No one has fevers, just congestion and coughs and aches. Welcome to fall! Change of seasons always gets me.
Tomorrow is join the health club day. Going over to the Mt prospect park district RecPlex and joining. They have a great pool and lots of machines and a great walking track. Brig can even walk with me. She loves to run! She doesnt have a walking speed. LOL!
I hope everyone stays warm and dry and the car gremlins stay away for good!

Good Evening All.
Monica and Eileen that is so great that you both had great Dr Appnts. You guys are doing great.
I am on my way tomorrow to fly up to Chicago. Not only to go to Frankenmuth Michigan with Paulette, but to see my kid and my sister. It is the Jewish High Holy day on Thursday.
It will be another whirlwind trip!!!!! I go home on Tuesday morning.
Work was so slow today. I only did 2 haircuts in a 6 hr shift. I was supposed to work till 5 but it was so slow and 4 of us didnt need to be there.
Monday is not going to be a fun day. We are going to go and see a Social Worker to see how to make my sister in law a ward of the state. She cant seem to take care of herself.
SOOOO the saga continues!!!!!
