Came Home from the Hospital Yesterday

Sorry Lucy that you are not feeling so well! Glad the pain is gone for now though! Sending out a special prayer that the docs get ya all fixed up!

Hi Karen. Everytime I see your username, I think of a grandma with graying hair. But I know that you are much younger!

Thanks for your message and prayers. I sure appreciate them. I'm looking forward to my doctor's appointment.

Hugs,
Lucy

Lucy this grandma will be 50 in about 3 weeks....So the gray is coming!!!!

Karen

Lucy,

Im sorry you arent feeling well, and that you had to go to the ER, especially alone.  That must have been really hard.  Im sure Dr Guske can lead you in the right direction on Friday.  Let us know how you are doing.  You are in my prayers that you are feeling better!

Hi Eileen. Thanks for your message too. Everyone here has been so supportive. I do miss my other friends like Pam S. and Ronna. Haven't heard from them in a long time.

I never felt so alone, being in the ER for so many hours with no one to talk to or help me.

I'll keep you and everyone here posted on my doctor's visit on Friday. Thanks for the prayers too. I really appreciate them.

Hugs,
Lucy

Lucy,

This is Aleece.  I am so sorry you are having problems.  Please keep the board posted about Friday.  I just ordered the living after WLS book from Kaye Bailey.  I plan on starting the 5DPT after Thanksgiving.  Life is too crazy before then.  I'm working on getting into the gym on a more consistent basis.  I am up 36 pounds since my original 100. I keep reminding myself that i have kept off 64 pounds so that is good.

Beth asks if I hear from you.  She had bunion surgery on her right foot two days before her birthday. She is off of work for a month.  She is feeling pretty good.

People at VH have asked about you.  I hope you'll come back sometime.  If not, let's get together. I would really like to see you. 

Keep hanging in there.  You are so worth it and for where you have come.

Take care.

Hi Aleece. Boy have things got out of hand for me.

I feel like a stranger invaded my body. The past year has been awful.

I really thought the band would have helped me. I'm getting to hate it. Too much restriction causing problems with the good protein foods, but easy for the bad hi calorie fat foods and snacks. I'm getting so disgusted with myself.

I do miss the VH group but feel too ashamed to come back right now. Plus there is a woman there who started coming after she had a huge regain and was a board member of my homeowners association. We don't see eye to eye and I really don't want to go to a meeting where I can't speak freely. Her name is Diane. At the last meeting I went to, she was there.

I really miss everyone else though. I haven't heard from Matthew or seen him in a long time. Miss Bill a lot.

I'm glad that you are able to keep off most of the weight you lost. It seems to get harder and harder.

Give Beth my best.

I'll post on Friday after I see Dr. Guske.

Thanks!

Take care too.

Lucy

Oh, Lucy, sorry this happened. Glad you got it checked out. I hope your doc has some answers on Friday. Please share an update when you can!

Nicolle

Hi Nicolle. Thanks for your message and concern.

So far tonight I am feeling better. He took out 1/2 cc out of my band. Maybe now I will be able to eat the protein foods and say bye bye to the hi cal, hi fat foods.

I did post separately about my doc visit.

Thanks.
Lucy
