Thursday Morning Roll Call

Good morning everybody!

I took Deanna's advice yesterday and put butterfly bandages on the incision and it seems to be holding together. I called the dr's office yesterday and they didnt get back to me until all the nurses and dr's were gone. :\ they will call back today.

I rested all day yesterday, except for when I had my son alone and that was a challenge. I plan to rest all day today and tomorrow. Hopefully that helps.

I have almost all of my xmas shopping done as well. I do a lot of shopping from LTD.

I hope that you all have a great day :)

Hello everyone,

I know I don't check in often, but here I am. I was "realized" on Tuesday and everything went well. I was up and walking within a couple of hours. I think my insides are starting to wake up now. Omar and georgie, hang in there the 2 week diet goes quick and good luck. thanks to everyone on this forum and others for all the information I have learned over the past year.

                                                                                               Thanks Larry

Grats Larry,

How did the staff at Silver treat you?

Good morning Nanacy and Illinois!

Took Bella in this morning to be groomed. They will call when she is ready for pick-up. Not much else on the agenda but the gym today.
Housecleaning tomorrow....and the dreaded laundry.

Hope everyone has a nice day! Keep dry!

Good morning everyone!  Thanks to Sheri for taking the time to talk to my husband and I last night at the Support Group!  We really appreciated that and I look forward to attending again.

Well, I'm new on this board, but I guess you can say I've been a lurker for a while now.  I just wanted to introduce myself.  My name is Kathy and I'm 39 years old.  I have two teenage daughters and a wonderful husband.  They are all very supportive of my decision to have surgery.  I've been kicking around the idea of wls for many years now but have finally made a lot of progress and I'm just waiting for final clearances and a call from the surgeon's office to get things going.  I see that some of you attend the same surgeon's office as me, so it will be great to hear about your progress!  I'm looking forward to getting to know everyone here and to help out whenever I can. 

Hope everyone has a great day!!

Kathy,
It was great to meet you and your husband last night.  I am glad you took my advice and came to roll call.  Like I said you will find all new kinds of friends here.

I look forward to seeing you again in the 4th.

Sheri

Hi Kathy,

Welcome to the party, there is a a tremoundous amount of support on these boards and you should fit right in. I am also getting my surgery done at Silver Cross and since both doctors are present for surgeries in many ways we kind of have the same surgeon. Did you run through all of your screenings yet (Pumonology, EKG, Sleep study)? Those are a lot of fun.

Thanks Omar!  Oh yeah those were a whole lotta fun!  I think I was very surprised when they said they got the results of the sleep study...I didn't think I slept long enough for them to get anything!  :)  You would've thought it was the easiest test...all you have to do is sleep...but with all of those wires stuck to your head and body, I don't know how anyone is expected to sleep at all.  I'm grateful it's over, that's for sure.  It is also good to know they're both present...it gives me some peace of mind.  I'm really happy I found this board and finally got brave enough to post!!  :)

Hello there

I noticed you have the same doctor as I do.  The BMI clinic is great and Dr Lahmann is wonderful.  They have a great after care program.  I think you will be very pleased. 

Are you getting RNY or the band?

I thankfully didn't have to do a sleep study.  That does sound uncomfortable. 

Good luck with the rest of your journey. 

This morning is a new kind of beautiful.

I started off  sort of this color with sinus drainage wanting to be multidirectional.   After a time at the sink steaming and yeching I had a  on the  balcony watching several trees give up their leaves.

Down two more pounds today which I guess should slow down to one a day.  I am mentally redefining liquids in my mind.  So many things will just slide through my pouch if I chew them up and many others need no chewing.  Like sf pudding.  So I am running less than 1200 calories.  Maybe as low as 800 but I am not ready to put it in FitDay yet.  Not sure what the malabsorption will add to the losing process.
