Wednesday Roll Call

Good Morning Illinois,

We are brought to you ince again this morning by the liquid diet,

We are Half way to Friday and yet this is a special Friday on Wednesday as today I call for my surgery time tomorrow.

See you on the other side,

Hello everyone
I have a long day today.  I've been at work for about 1 hour now and will be here till 6pm.  Then after work I will be going to the Sheridan support group...I probably won't be home till 9:30-10pm.  So I will be tired tomorrow. 

Yesterday, I became suddenly dizzy and light-headed, also hot and sweaty.  It happened right when it was time to go home.  But when I was walking to my car I felt sooo weak.  I felt that way for an hour or 2 and then I was fine.  I just went home and rested and drank water and I was fine after awhile.  I can't imagine what that was all about.  Because I drink plenty of water.  Hopefully that was a one time thing and won't happen again.  If it does I have a fill appt on Friday and I will mention it to my doctor.  

I can't wait till my fill appointment on Friday.  Even though I have 8.3 ccs in my band I still can eat too much food (more than 4oz) and I feel hungry too soon after a meal.  I'm getting so frustrated.  This will be my 5th fill so I hope this one will be my magic one.  

I also can't wait to see my daughter on 10-17.  She texted me yesterday that she wished she was home with me baking cookies.  Awww, she might be 22 but she's still my baby.  

I hope Deanna and Crystal are doing well!!!

Well I hope everyone will have a nice day. 

Good Morning Randy and the rest of Illinois.

I went to see Dr. Guski on Monday. Everything is good. He did another flouro, to make sure everything was ok. Also said he will do my labs in Dec. I asked him for a recommendation for a plastics Dr. He told me that he was doing tummy tucks etc. I thought that was great since I trust him. I did gain a few lbs since August,  but that wasn't any big deal either. When I went in for the unfill,  I was dehydrated, so all I gained back was the water I lost. I am still down 6-8 1bs since June.

Today is work, then I am going to the support group meeting in Sheridan that Sheri has started. 

I hope our 2 newest wls people are having a good experience in the hospital. The same goes to you Randy, on Friday.  Welcome to the bench.

Dawn, be careful driving today to Madison. 
Monica, I hope you feel better. It does sound like you have the flu.

BTW - It is Breast awarement month, get that Mammo you have been putting off. Also, schedule that Flu shot, or go to one of the many clinics.

Everyone have a great day, and stay safe, stay warm, and get healthy. 

Good morning Randy and Illinois!

Well Randy tomorrow is your day! I bet you thought it would never get here. I wish you an uneventful surgery and a quick recovery! Remember to walk, sip and rest.

Not much on the agenda today...gym and maybe a trip to the grocery store.

Hope you all have a great day!

Good morning Randy and IL family.

Randy, I wish you the very best as you cross the line into your new life. It's been a long time coming!

Hope Deanna and Crystal are doing well. Didn't see that Monica was under the weather.

One more day and a half in Reno. I am coming home Thursday evening and then back to work on Friday.

I was in a lot of pain yesterday. It's about the same this morning. I shouldn't have gone to the conference. Got an upgrade on the return flight but had to pay $$ and miles too. But it's worth it for the extra leg room.

Have a wonderful Wednesday.

Hugs,
Lucy

Good Morning All -

Life has been so busy but today I have some down time.  Only working one job today and don't have to be there until 5:30 tonight.  It gives me some "me" time and time to clean the house, cut the grass and work out w/ my trainer at 1.  

Calvin and I are doing pretty good w/ our health... my sister on the other hand could use your prayers.  She had breast cancer  two years ago and had a mastectomy done on her left breast.  She is now waiting for results on the right..  She is afraid she may now have it in the right.  This has been such a roller coaster for her and as you all know.... waiting is the worse.
It breaks my heart that I can't be there to just hold her in my arms.  She lives in AZ and financially I just can't make the trip right now.  She's a tough girl but come on, enough is enough.

Take care everybody!
Christina

 Good Evening Randy and Illinois Friends!

I have been MIA.  This morning I overslept.  I went to bed way to late and forgot to set the alarm.    Arrived at work a half hour late.  My week has been deterorating rapidly starting with last Thursday.  I am ready to go back to bed and pull the covers over my head.  

I went to the Dr on Thursday due to swelling in my legs and the gave me some diuretics.  I must have been really retaining fluids as I dropped 10 lbs in 5 days and I still have swelling in my legs.

 I also asked my doctor about some pain I have been having in my arm.  He got the brilliant idea to maneuver my neck because he expects herniated discs again.  Well,  that has left me with a VERY stiff neck and pain, and migraine.  I could cheerfully strangle him.   I have an MRI scheduled on Saturday to see what is going on.  It wasn't hurting this bad until the doctor decided to play with my neck.  Thanks doc!  

Today I found out that my hours have permanently changed to 10 am - 6:30 pm.  I  really do not like working that late as I am more a morning person for work but .... have no choice.  

I wonder what will happen tomorrow???  It is my 18 month checkup for my surgery.  Hope all will go well there.  

Enough complaining!  Hope everyone is having a better week!
