Friday Roll Call
For those of us who have to work today, it is Friday!
I am glad the week is over and am looking forward to the weekend. It will be slow at work. I will probably volunteer to go home early without pay rather than 
Wednesday was slow too. All these businesses close over the holidays but we are still open. Instead of 15 - 20 calls an hour I get about 2. Yawn. No exciting plans for the weekend. Still trying to get over this dang flu.
Hope everyone has a great day!

I'm at work too this morning. We will probably take down the Christmas decorations since we're going to be very busy this month.
I'm going to the beauty shop after work for some hair waxing. Ouchie! Tomorrow's a visitation from mom and my sister. Mom's going to Palm Springs for the winter so I will have some distance from her for 4 months.
Wishing everyone a wonderful and stay warm Friday. Those winds are darn frigid!
Hugs,

Pre-op/RNY day/pre DS day/current/goal- Realize Band 5/15/08; RNY 6/8/05, Removal Band and RNY to DS 8/25/10. RNY & Band surgeon was Dr. Guske.
There was a ton of walking and we even went ice skating. I have kind of weak ankles for skating, I guess, but my 344 pounds did not help one bit!
I barely made it one time around the ring, holding the wall and my toddler's hand for dear life. My feet were in excruciating pain and I felt scared that I would fall and break something and have to be taken away in an ambulance.
I may try it again today, one year and 165 pounds later, and see how it feels. Hopefully no ambulances will be involved!

I had the kick-butt duodenal switch (DS)!
HW: 344 lbs CW: 150 lbs
Type 2 diabetes and sleep apnea GONE!
No big plans for today, just housework and errands, Tomorrow I am meeting my girls for lunch and some mom/daughter chatter. No guys!
We had a nice day yesterday with our kids. Just oversnacked all day. Today, I will throw out everything that reminds me of Christmas food. Then I know I will be ok,
Huggers, stay safe and warm.

Readers are wanting to know! Hehehe..... You should wear it on Monday for Dr. Guske. Maybe he can get a glipse of it - if you get a fill! I know I'm naughty!!

But that is a good idea, I will wear it on Monday,
You certainly make a long trip to see Dr. Gus. Just after DW first met CristineB we went to a Kane Center seminar where he was the speaker. One of the attendees asked him about exercise for weight loss. He did not advise her to exercise for weight loss as it might actually be a negative which is also something I have heard mentioned by Taube as well as the Methodist Hospital weight loss program in Houston. I wondered if you might ask him, for me, if there is a resource for how to exercise for health while losing weight even when you are super morbidly obese.

So you have been forgiven?
Nancy- Enjoy the slow day at work....it will get hectic again.
Hope your feeling better.
Not much on the agenda today. Saturday we will be visiting an old friend in Chicago and Sunday my son has invited us to dinner at his house. He said his girlfriend makes a killer pork chops with apples. So Jen is cooking, not him.
All the christmas decorations are down and put away. One of these years I will cut back on the decorations, but not yet. I love how festive the house looks with them. It is so dreary looking in here right now.
Oh well, neat and tidy is how I like it!
Hope everyone has a great day! Keep safe and keep warm!
Good morning all,
I am off work today. I have an eye doctor appointment and a doctors appointment. I will be spending much of my day doing that. I never did get any shopping done yesterday so I am going to fit it in between appointments. My eye doctor is at 11am in Chicago Ridge, and my doctor is in Downers Grove. I will have some time to stop at Yorktown and check for some bargains. I don't have any plans for the weekend.
Have a great day!
Michelle
